FIG. 6 shows an example of the avatar setting screen D10. A character object CO, a distribution button D11, a change of clothes button D12, a gacha button D13, and the like can be displayed on the avatar setting screen D10.

When the change clothes button D12 is selected by the user, a closet screen for selecting various avatar parts such as the eyes, nose, mouth, hair, accessories, clothes, and background of the character object CO is displayed.

When the gacha button D13 is selected by the user, a lottery screen for obtaining the avatar parts is displayed.

Then, when the distribution button D11 is selected by the user, a distribution start request is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 2400. FIG.

The distribution setting unit sets the distribution setting of the first moving image based on the designation from the distribution user terminal 2100 in response to the distribution start request of the first moving image received by the distribution start request receiving unit.

As an example, when the delivery button D11 is selected, the screen displayed on the delivery user terminal 2100 transitions from the avatar setting screen D10 shown in FIG. 6 to the delivery setting screen D20 shown in FIG.

The delivery settings include at least one of settings related to the title of the first video, settings related to whether or not other users can appear in the first video, settings related to the number of people who can appear in the first video, and settings related to passwords. can be included.

These delivery settings can be set in the title setting field D21, the collaboration availability setting field D22, the number of people setting field D23, and the password setting field D24 in FIG.

The title of the first moving image can be freely determined by the distribution user within the range of the number of characters up to the allowable upper limit. In addition, if there is no input from the distribution user, a preset title including the name of the distribution user or character object, such as "Delivery of XX", may be automatically determined. .

Whether or not other users appear in the first moving image can be freely determined by the distribution user. If yes, other users can apply to the distribution user for appearance, and if no, other users cannot apply for appearance to the distribution user. In this specification, a state in which another user appears in a distribution user's video is sometimes referred to as "collaboration". Details of the collaboration will be described later.

The number of people who can appear in the first video can be set only when other users can appear in the first video as described above, and the distribution users can freely set the number of people up to the allowable upper limit. can be determined by

The password can be set arbitrarily only when other users are allowed to appear in the first video mentioned above, and the broadcast user can freely decide the specified number of digits. be. When other users apply to appear in the first moving image, they are required to enter this password.

The distribution start unit distributes information about the first moving image to the viewing user terminal 2200 of the viewing user based on the conditions set by the distribution setting unit.

Such distribution start instruction is transmitted by selecting the distribution start button D25 shown in FIG.

As an example, the distribution start unit distributes (avatar distribution) information about a moving image (first moving image) including an animation of the distribution user's character object to the viewing user terminal 2200 of the viewing user.

The information about the first moving image includes, for example, motion information indicating actions of character objects, voice information of distribution users, gift object information indicating gifts sent from other viewing users, and the like. The gift object information includes at least gift object identification information that specifies the type of gift object and position information that indicates the position where the gift object is displayed.

Then, the delivery initiation unit can live-deliver the video via the video delivery platform described above.

FIG. 8 shows an avatar delivery screen D30 displayed on the delivery user terminal 2100. As shown in FIG.

The avatar distribution screen D30 displays a character object CO, a comment input button D31 for the distribution user to input a comment, an audio switching button D32 for switching the audio ON/OFF, and a button for playing a game, which will be described later. A play start button D33 for playing, an external service cooperation button D34 for viewing videos provided by an external service, and a gacha button D13 for obtaining avatar parts can be displayed.

Also, at the top of the avatar distribution screen D30, there are a display of the total number of viewers D35, a display of the number of total likes D36, a display of the number of collaborators D37, a share button to external SNS D38, a guest details button D39, an invite button D40, and a setting button D41. can be displayed. An end button D42 for ending distribution is also displayed.

Although detailed descriptions of these displays and buttons are omitted, it is possible to change the distribution settings set on the distribution setting screen D20 by selecting the setting button D41.

Note that FIG. 8 shows an example in which the distribution setting screen D20 allows other users to appear in the first moving image, and sets the number of persons who can appear in the first moving image to three to start distribution. Therefore, the character object CO is displayed in a state of being close to the lower left. Up to three character objects of other users can appear in the vacant space.

The above is the description of the screen transition when performing the avatar distribution according to the invention of the present disclosure.

Next, screen transitions when a distribution user plays a game during distribution will be described.

One or more computer processors in the present disclosure can include a game request receiving unit, a game video distribution unit, and a game display processing unit (not shown).

The distribution user can make a request to start playing the game by selecting the play start button D33 during avatar distribution as shown in FIG.

Note that the game displayed by selecting the play start button D33 is a dedicated game implemented in an application realized by the information processing system of the present disclosure, and is different from a general-purpose game provided by an external service. can be Therefore, game distribution in the present disclosure may be distinguished from distributing general-purpose game play videos provided by an external service together with the commentary of the distribution user.

Alternatively, the play start request can be transmitted from the distribution user terminal to the information processing device 400 by selecting a play start button arranged on a predetermined screen displayed on the distribution user terminal.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the screen G10 on which the play start button G11 is arranged as the predetermined screen. A screen G10 shown in FIG. 9 is a screen transitioned from the top screen T10 (FIG. 5) displayed on the user terminal that started the application realized by the information processing system according to the present disclosure by selecting the game tab T15.

The screen G10 displays at least a play start button G11 capable of transmitting a play start request for a predetermined game.

Then, when the game request receiving unit receives a request to start playing the predetermined game, the game moving image distribution unit distributes information regarding the second moving image to the viewing user terminal.

Here, the second moving image is a playing moving image of a predetermined game. In this specification, distributing such a moving image so that it is displayed on the screen of the viewing user terminal 2200 is called "game distribution".

In addition, after starting the application realized by the invention of the present disclosure, the user selects a play start object arranged on the game list screen and the game details screen, thereby requesting the start of distribution of the second moving image as a distribution user. can be transmitted to the information processing device 400 .

These game list screens or game detail screens are the first screens described in detail below.

That is, the game display processing unit generates a distribution start object capable of transmitting a distribution start request, a play start object capable of transmitting a predetermined game play start request, and a thumbnail image of a video during distribution of a predetermined game play video. Display processing of the first screen including

The screen G10 shown in FIG. 9 corresponds to the game list screen among the first screens. The first screen, which is a game list screen, is a screen transitioned from the top screen T10 by selecting the game tab T15.

The first screen includes a distribution preparation button T22 as a distribution start object, a play start button G11 as a play start object, and thumbnail images indicating video distribution channels.

On the first screen, for each of a plurality of playable games, a play start button G11, a game icon G12, a game name G13, the total number of viewers G14 of the distribution channel of the game, and a thumbnail of the distribution channel during game distribution. A distribution list G15 including images is displayed.

The order of the thumbnail images displayed in the distribution list G15 displayed here can be changed according to the viewing user. As an example, the order is arranged in descending order of the number of views by the viewing user followed by the viewing user, descending order of the cumulative number of viewers, descending order of the oldest distribution start. It is assumed that the display range of the thumbnail images of the distribution list G15 can be changed by horizontal scrolling.

In addition, the games displayed on the game list screen are assumed to read the following 10 titles with the highest priority. As an example, the priority is determined within 48 hours from the start date and time of the game distribution, in reverse chronological order of the last playing date within 30 days by the viewing user, in descending order of period ID priority, and in descending order of period ID. there is

This distribution list G15 is updated when returning from another tab screen and when performing an update operation (Pull-to-Refresh).

FIG. 10 corresponds to the game details screen of the first screen. The first screen, which is a game detail screen, is a screen G20 that is transitioned to by selecting a game icon G12 or a game name G13 displayed on the game list screen shown in FIG.

The first screen includes a distribution preparation button T22 which is a distribution start object, a play start button G21 which is a play start object, and a thumbnail image indicating a video distribution channel.

The first screen also displays a game icon G22, a game name G23, the total number of viewers G24 of the distribution channel of the game, and a distribution list G25 including thumbnail images of the distribution channels currently distributing the game. .

The order of the thumbnail images displayed in the distribution list G25 displayed here can be changed according to the viewing user. As an example, the order is arranged in descending order of the number of views by the viewing user followed by the viewing user, descending order of the cumulative number of viewers, descending order of the oldest distribution start. It should be noted that the display range of the thumbnail images of the distribution list G25 can be changed by vertical scrolling.

This distribution list G25 is updated when returning from another tab screen and when performing an update operation (Pull-to-Refresh).

As described above, a user who selects a distribution start object or a play start object becomes a distribution user who makes a distribution start request or a play start request.

Also, the user who selects the thumbnail image becomes the viewing user who views the second moving image.

Also, the first screen includes a first area that cannot be scrolled and a second area that can be scrolled.

The first screen referred to here is the first screen shown in FIG. The first screen includes a first area R1 and a second area R2. Specifically, the game title is displayed in the first area R1, and the play start button G21, the game icon G22, the game name G23, the number of viewers G24, and the distribution list G25 are displayed in the second area R2. is displayed.

The first region R1 is a fixed display portion on the display screen that cannot be scrolled, and the second region R2 is a portion that can be scrolled by the user. By scrolling the second area R2, the user can check the thumbnail images hidden outside the screen.

However, since the play start button G21 may be hidden outside the screen by scrolling the second area, depending on the display state of the play start object (play start button G21) displayed in the second area R2, A play start object (play start button G21) can be displayed in the first region R1.

As an example, the play start button G21 is displayed in the second area R2 in FIG. 10, but is displayed in the first area R1 in FIG. That is, when part or all of the play start button G21 disappears from the second area R2, the play start button G21 appears in the first area.

Further, the game display processing section may display the play start object step by step in the first region R1 according to the display state of the play start object displayed in the second region R2.

Such expression can be realized by changing the transparency of the play start object according to the amount of scrolling of the second area R2.

As an example, the scroll amount (in units of pixels) of 0 to 50 corresponds to button transparency of 0.0 (completely transparent) to 1.0 (completely opaque). Then, in the initial display state, the object is completely transparent and cannot be seen, and when the object is scrolled by 50 pixels or more, the object is completely displayed. It is preferable to change the transparency of the object linearly in between (0 to 50). Note that the unit of scrolling is logical pixels, which may differ from the actual pixels of the display.

Further, it is assumed that the game request receiving unit can receive a play end request of a predetermined game from the distribution user terminal after the game moving image distribution unit distributes the information about the second moving image.

A play end request can be sent by selecting an end button arranged on the game screen.

Then, when the game request receiving unit receives a request to finish playing the predetermined game, the moving image distribution unit can end distribution of information regarding the second moving image and distribute information regarding the first moving image.

That is, what is distributed here is not part of the information of the first moving image, but all of the information of the first moving image.

Then, when the moving image distribution unit finishes distributing the information about the second moving image and distributes the information about the first moving image, the first moving image is displayed on the viewing user terminal 2200. do.

Next, a description will be given of the flow for starting to watch a moving image.

One or more processors in the present disclosure may further comprise a viewing reception unit (not shown).

The viewing reception unit receives a request for viewing a moving image from a user.

In response to a viewing request, the video distribution unit distributes video and audio information as video information to the user's information processing terminal.

FIG. 12 shows an example of an avatar video viewing screen V10 displayed on the viewing user terminal 2200. As shown in FIG.

The viewing user can post a comment by inputting text in the comment posting field V11 and pressing the send button V12.

Also, by pressing the gift button V13, a gift list (screen V30 in FIG. 13) is displayed for the viewing user, and a display request for the gift specified by selection can be transmitted.

At this time, one or more processors in the present disclosure can include a determination unit (not shown). The determination unit determines whether or not there is a gift display request from the viewing user terminal 2200 .

Gift object information can be included in the display request. The gift object information includes at least gift object identification information specifying the type of gift object and position information indicating the position where the gift object is displayed.

Also, as shown in FIG. 13, the gifts can be classified and displayed according to categories (free (paid) gifts, accessories, support goods, appeals, variety, etc.).

Here, a paid gift is a gift that can be purchased by the viewing user by consuming my coins purchased, and a free gift is a gift that the viewing user can obtain without consuming or consuming my points obtained free of charge. .

The term "gift" used in this application means the same concept as the term "token". Therefore, it is possible to replace the term "gift" with the term "token" to understand the technology described in this application.

Also, the viewing user can post a favorable evaluation by pressing the like button V14. In addition to/instead of the like button V14, it is also possible to display buttons for posting negative evaluations and other emotions.

In addition, when the distribution user has set permission for other users to appear in the distribution settings, it is possible to transmit an application to appear in the video by selecting the collaboration application button V15.

A follow button V16 for the viewing user to follow the distribution user is displayed on the screen of the video distributed by the distribution user that the viewing user has not yet followed. This follow button functions as an unfollow button on the screen of the video distributed by the distribution user whom the viewing user has already followed.

Note that this "follow-up" may be performed from a viewing user to a viewing user, from a distribution user to a viewing user, or from a distribution user to a distribution user. However, following shall be managed as a one-way association, and a reverse association shall be managed separately as a follower.

A support ranking display button V17, a share button V18, and an invite button V19 are also displayed on the viewing screen V10.

The support ranking displays the ranking of viewing users who support the broadcast user, and the ranking can be calculated according to the amount of gifts (points/coins) or the like.

In addition, regarding video sharing, the viewing user can confirm a list of SNS (social networking services) that can be shared by pressing the share button V18, and send a fixed link to the specified location of the SNS specified by selection. can.

The invite button V19 is for calling the second user to the video being viewed, similar to the first object in the present disclosure, and can display a list screen for calling mutual follow by selection.

FIG. 14 shows an example of a list screen V40 for calling mutual follow. The list screen V40 can display a first object V42 together with an image and/or a name V41 showing the profile of one or more second users who have a specific relationship with the first user. Selection of the first object V42 causes a call notification to be sent to the second user.

Further, by pressing the collaboration application button V15, a request for collaboration distribution can be made to the distribution user. Collaborative delivery refers to making the viewing user's character object appear in the delivery user's delivery moving image.

A distribution user icon V21, a distribution user name (character object name) V22, a cumulative number of viewers display V23, and a cumulative number of likes display V24 can be displayed at the top of the viewing screen V10.

Further, when the viewing end button V20 is selected, a screen for ending viewing is displayed, and a viewing end request can be transmitted.

The screen for ending such viewing will be described in detail. Such a screen is called "small window audio delivery", and is intended for viewing in a mode in which only the audio is reproduced while the image of the moving image is displayed.

The selection of the viewing end button V20 is accepted by the viewing accepting unit as a moving image viewing end request.

At this time, in response to the viewing end request, the video distribution unit ends the distribution of the information on the video, but does not end the distribution of the information on the audio.

When information about video and audio is distributed to the user terminal, the video is displayed on the main screen of the user terminal, and when only information about audio is distributed, the video is displayed on the user terminal. is not displayed, and a sub-screen indicating that the video is being watched is displayed.

FIG. 15 shows an image of the screen V50 on which the sub-screen V51 is displayed.

When the sub-screen V51 is displayed, the main screen displayed in the background transitions to the screen before viewing the moving image. For example, when moving from the recommended tab to the viewing frame, the display returns to the recommended tab, and when moving from the follow tab to the viewing frame, the display transitions to the follow tab.

When this sub-screen V51 is displayed, operations on the main screen are enabled, and transition to other screens is enabled.

The sub-screen V51 displays a profile image, a name, a title, and an audio icon that visually identifies that audio is being played.

By selecting the end icon V52 displayed on the sub-screen V51, viewing can be completely ended.

Regarding the termination of the display of the video, the information may be transmitted from the server device but not displayed on the terminal side, or the transmission of the information itself may be stopped from the server device.

According to such a configuration, it becomes possible to search for other distributions and enjoy chatting with other users while listening only to audio.

Next, "collaboration" in which other users appear in the distribution user's video will be described.

As described above, the viewing user can send a participation request to the moving image through the collaboration delivery participation request confirmation screen displayed by pressing the collaboration application button V15 shown in FIG.

A collaboration avatar display unit (not shown), in response to a participation request received by the reception unit, displays a character object generated based on the movement of the viewing user who has made the participation request.

FIG. 16 shows, as an example, a viewing or distribution screen C10 when a second avatar A2, which is a guest user's character object, participates in a moving image in which a first avatar A1, which is a host user's character object, is displayed. is shown. Note that the display of objects other than the avatar is omitted in FIG.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, a third avatar A3, which is a character object generated based on the movement of another viewing user, may participate in the moving image. Although the third avatar A3 is placed behind the first avatar A1 and the second avatar A2 in FIG. 17, the three avatars may be placed in a horizontal line. Also, the distribution user may be allowed to specify the placement position of the avatar.

FIG. 18 shows a list screen T30 of users having a mutual follow relationship displayed by selecting the follow tab on the top screen shown in FIG. Mutual follow refers to a relationship in which each other is a follower of the other.

This list screen T30 displays profile images and names of users who have a mutual follow relationship.

As shown in FIG. 18, it is assumed that the list screen T30 displays a first object T31 for each of the second users. Also, the chat object T32 may be displayed together with the first object T21. By selecting this chat object, it is possible to transition to an individual chat screen with the second user.

The first object transmits a predetermined notification to the second information processing terminal 110 associated with the first object T31.

The predetermined notification can be, for example, a call notification indicating that the first user of the first information processing terminal is calling the second user. As an example, it is assumed that the call notification displays the characters "BBB (user name) is calling", the profile image of the second user, and the second object.

<Functional configuration>
19, the one or more computer processors include a distribution unit 410, a first selection reception unit 420, a second selection reception unit 430, an identification unit 440, an association unit 450, and a display and a processing unit 460 .

In this embodiment, the information processing apparatus 400 is provided with the one or more computer processors. information processing terminal 200 may be provided in a shared manner.

The distribution unit 410 distributes a moving image including a plurality of character objects associated with each of a plurality of appearing users.

A plurality of appearing users can be composed of a host user distributing a moving image and one or more guest users participating in the moving image. Such moving images can be realized by the collaboration function described above, but are not limited to this, and may be realized when there are multiple performers in the studio distribution as described above. In the present embodiment, explanation will be given assuming that the moving image is realized by the collaboration function.

FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an image of distribution screen D50 distributed by distribution unit 410 and displaying a plurality of character objects A1 to A4 associated with each of the four appearance users. Although omitted in FIG. 20, the display of the number of viewers and the like shown in FIG. 8 can be continued.

In FIG. 20, character object A1 is an object associated with the host user, and character objects A2 to A4 are objects associated with guest users.

The placement locations of these character objects A1 to A4 may be freely determined by the host user, or may be determined in the order in which the guest users enter the host user's moving image.

Although FIG. 20 shows an example in which two character objects are arranged in the front row and two characters are displayed in the back row, all characters may be displayed side by side. In addition, when the placement location is determined in the order of entry of guest users, if there is a guest user who has left the room, character objects of other guest users are placed so as to fill the space where the character object of the guest user who has left the room has been. Placement is changed.

FIG. 21 is an example of a game start screen H10 displayed on the screen of the user terminal of the host user when a predetermined game started by selecting the game start button D33 on the delivery screen D50 is started. It is assumed that a start object H11 for starting the game is displayed on the start screen H10. If there are not enough participants, the screen transitions to a screen H20 displaying an object H21 for inviting guest users, as shown in FIG.

It should be noted that comments from viewing users and the like shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, gifts and the like (not shown), and menu icons H12 and H22 are omitted from the following description.

In this embodiment, in the predetermined game, each of the performing users presents an answer according to a given theme, a discussion (explanation) is held among the appearing users as to which answer is appropriate, etc., and the presented answer is On the other hand, it is assumed that the flow of the game is to receive votes from viewing users and/or performing users, and to reward the performing users who have answered with a large number of votes.

According to the above game, it is possible to activate communication between performing users, and it is also possible to activate communication between viewing users and performing users.

In addition, this game can be implemented as a game that can be played by the users who appear in the collaboration video, but it is also possible to implement it as a multi-game where users who do not appear in the collaboration video can participate only in this game. It is possible.

Returning to FIG. 21, when the host user selects the start object H11 on the screen H10, the screen H10 transitions to the screen H30 shown in FIG. A theme display field H31 and an answer input field H32 are displayed on the screen H30. A screen similar to the screen H30 is also displayed on the user terminal of the guest user.

Themes (themes, quizzes, questions, etc.) are displayed in the theme display field H31. Themes are automatically generated using words extracted from a database, which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 23, a character input field H33 and an OK button H34 are displayed in the answer input field H32.

On the screen H30, a screen keyboard is activated by selecting a character input field H33, and characters can be freely input within a specified number of characters using the screen keyboard.

Then, when the decision button H34 is selected after the characters are input by the performer, the characters that have been input are displayed in the character input field H33 of the screen H30 (FIG. 24). At this time, the decision button H34 changes to an edit button H35. The appearance user can change the input characters by selecting the edit button H35.

Then, as shown in FIG. 25, a response deadline object H41 is displayed on the screen H40 displayed on the user terminal of the host user after a predetermined time has passed since the game started (selection of the start object H11).

In this way, the answer deadline object H41 may be displayed according to the lapse of a predetermined period of time, or may be displayed according to the decision button H34 being selected by all the appearing users. good. Note that the screen H40 is displayed only for the host user, and the response deadline object H41 is not displayed on the screen for the guest user.

In addition, without displaying the answer deadline object H41 on the screen H40 displayed on the user terminal of the host user, an answer is automatically given when the predetermined time elapses or when all the appearance users select the OK button H34. may be closed.

As an example, when the response deadline object H41 is selected by the host user, a screen H50 displaying response objects H51 to H54 corresponding to each of a plurality of character objects A1 to A4 is displayed as shown in FIG. It is displayed on the distribution user terminal of the performing user and the viewing user terminal of the viewing user.

In FIG. 26, an answer object H51 corresponds to the character object A1, an answer object H52 corresponds to the character object A2, an answer object H53 corresponds to the character object A3, and an answer object H54 corresponds to the character object A4. is supported.

In this way, the character object and the answer object are displayed in such a way that the correspondence can be recognized. That is, the content of each user's reply can be identified. As an example, in FIG. 26, the correspondence relationship is clarified by displaying the character object and the answer object close to each other.

Then, the screen H50 displays an instruction column H55 for instructing the explanation of the answers (in FIG. 26, the characters "Let's explain in order!").

After the host user selects the answer deadline object H41, when the screen H50 is displayed and a predetermined time elapses, as shown in FIG. The displayed screen H60 is displayed on the user terminal of the host user. Note that the screen H60 is displayed only on the user terminal of the host user, and the voting start object H61 is not displayed on the screens displayed on the viewing user terminals of the viewing users and the user terminals of the guest users.

When the host user selects the voting start object H61, a screen V60 shown in FIG. 28 is displayed on the broadcast user terminal of the appearing user and the viewing user terminal of the viewing user.

Then, the first selection accepting unit 420 accepts selection of at least one object from the plurality of objects corresponding to each of the plurality of character objects from the viewing user terminal of the viewing user viewing the moving image.

The plurality of objects referred to here will be explained as voting objects V61-64. good too.

In addition, the second selection reception unit 430 receives selection of at least one object from the plurality of objects from the appearance user terminal of the appearance user.

It should be noted that the screen displayed on the appearance user terminal may not display only the object corresponding to the own character object. That is, the rule may be such that one's own answer cannot be voted for.

It is assumed that the number of objects that can be selected by the performing user or the viewing user is predetermined (for example, once).

If the performing user or the viewing user can select a plurality of objects, the selection of the objects can be prioritized. Specifically, one object can be selected as the first-ranked answer, and another object can be selected as the second-ranked answer. Alternatively, it is also possible to rank and vote by allocating a plurality of choices to a plurality of objects. As an example, when an object can be selected three times, one object can be selected twice as the first-ranked answer, and another object can be selected once as the second-ranked answer. can be attached.

Also, the number of selectable objects may differ between the performing user and the viewing user, and the number may differ between the viewing users according to their status. This status includes the cumulative number of gifts given to the video by the distribution user, the cumulative amount of gifting, the cumulative viewing time, whether or not the distribution user is followed, and the like.

When the vote for oneself ends, the screen V60 transitions to the screen V70 shown in FIG. In other words, the voting objects V61-64 change to display fields V65-69 of the number of votes. However, this change is arbitrary, and the voting object may remain as it is, or the voting object may be hidden.

Then, as shown in FIG. 30, on the screen H70 displayed on the host user's user terminal (appearing user terminal), a voting end object H71 is displayed after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of voting (selection of the voting start object H61). Is displayed. Note that the voting end object H71 may be displayed after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, or may be displayed when all the appearing users have selected voting objects. Alternatively, the voting object may be displayed when the number of voting objects selected by the viewing user reaches a specified number. Note that the screen H70 is displayed only on the user terminal of the host user, and the voting end object H71 is not displayed on the screens displayed on the user terminals of the guest users and the viewing users.

The specifying unit 440 specifies the appearing user associated with the character object corresponding to the object with the largest number of selections accepted by the first selection accepting unit 420 and the second selection accepting unit 430 .

In this embodiment, the identifying unit 440 identifies the character object A1 as the appearing user associated with the object with the most selections.

In this embodiment, the cast user specified by the specifying unit 440 is the character object corresponding to the object with the most selections, but it may be the character object corresponding to the object with the least selections. .

The number of selections received by the first selection receiving unit 420 and the second selection receiving unit 430 can be counted by a tallying unit (not shown). This unit counts the number of such selections until a request to end voting is made as described below. The selections received by first selection receiving unit 420 and second selection receiving unit 430 can be given the same weight. The selection received by unit 430 may be counted with more weight. Specifically, while 1 is counted for one vote by a viewing user, it is also possible for 10 to be counted for one vote by a performer.
