It can be freely designed according to the user's preference, etc., and can be changed as appropriate.

[Regarding the game to which the present invention is applied]
A game to which the present invention is applied (hereinafter simply referred to as "game") will be described with reference to FIGS.

A game is an online game played by a user operating a user terminal. Online games include browser games using a web browser, social games provided on SNS (Social Networking Service), games that can be played by downloading dedicated application software such as mobile games, and play-by-play games. Periodically updated online games such as web (PBW) are included. The genre (classification) of the game is not particularly limited.

In the game, the user operates an in-game character (hereinafter simply referred to as "character") to move in a field set within each quest area. A quest is a constituent unit (stage) of a game set for the purpose of clearing, and there are one or more quests in the game. The area is an in-game space set for each quest, and the field is the terrain within the area, such as a two-dimensional area such as the floor, ground, or water surface.

During the game play, the screen of the user terminal 10 displays an area corresponding to the position of the character in the field, and the user looks at the screen to check the character that he or she operates and the range around the character. be able to. Hereinafter, the screen displayed on the user terminal while playing the game will also be referred to as the "play screen".

In the following description, "during game play" means the period during which each quest is played, that is, the period during which the character is moved in the field. Also, to move a character in the field, if the character is an air vehicle, it must fly over the field, and if the character can run underground, it must be below the field (the ground). (inside).

While moving the character on the field, the user causes the character to attack and defeat enemies present on the field, or pick up auxiliary items placed on the field. In addition, one or more events are implemented during the play of each quest, and the user can play the event during the implementation period of the event. Events are game elements that can be played in each quest, and include, for example, battles with boss enemies of each quest, matches and competitions (races) with enemies, and acquisition of predetermined items.

The game can be played jointly by a plurality of users, and the users select either a single play mode or a joint play mode (multi-play mode) when playing the game. The single play mode is a mode in which one user plays the quest specified by the user alone. A joint play mode is a mode in which a plurality of users who can communicate with each other play the same quest jointly. The method of communication between users for cooperative play may be a client-server method via a server, or a P2P (peer-to-peer) method without a server. The upper limit of the number of users (maximum number of participants) who can jointly play the game in the joint play mode can be arbitrarily determined.

In the joint play, the same number of characters as the number of users (in FIG. 1, humanoid characters) are arranged in the field of the quest in which the joint play is performed, as shown in FIG. Each of the plurality of users operates his/her own user terminal 10 to move his/her character in the field. As a result, on the screen of the user terminal 10 operated by each user, an area corresponding to the position of each user's character is displayed in the field. Therefore, in the cooperative play, the play screen of each user changes according to each user's character operation, and differs for each user (that is, for each user terminal 10) as shown in FIG.

Note that the play screen of each user, that is, the display range in the field may differ according to the type and nature of the character operated by each user. In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, each user's play screen is a screen when the periphery of the character operated by each user is viewed from directly above in the field, but is not limited to this, and can be set at any line-of-sight angle ( view angle). In this case, each user can freely set the line-of-sight angle while playing the game, and may also freely change the line-of-sight angle after the setting.

Also, during the co-play, each user can play in cooperation with other users. can be done. In addition, it is possible to arrange items owned by oneself on the field so that other users can use (pick up) them. In addition, when each user causes his or her character to attack an enemy on the field, the user may cooperate with other users to activate a predetermined effect (specifically, a cooperative attack with another user's character). can be done.

Also, each of a plurality of users can play an event in a quest in which joint play is performed. Specifically, during the event period, a user who operates a character positioned at an event occurrence location (for example, around a boss enemy) on the field can play the event. In this case, a scene in which the event is held is displayed on the play screen of the user playing the event. On the other hand, a user whose character is out of the event occurrence location may not be able to play the event (for example, be unable to see the presentation of the event).

By the way, in the present invention, it is possible to record (capture) a play screen and record a game moving image while the game is being played. A game video is a video associated with game play, and is generated based on a play screen. The moving image associated with the game play is a moving image representing the content of the play by the user (for easy understanding, the movement of a character operated by the user, etc.), and is a moving image during the game play. In addition, the game video may be a play screen that is actually displayed on the user terminal during game play recorded at a constant frame rate, or an edited image of the actual play screen or a line of sight from the actual play screen. It may be a recorded image with a different angle.

Also, in the joint play mode, a game video based on the play screen of each user can be recorded for each user (in other words, for each user terminal 10). In the joint play mode, as described above, each user's play screen changes according to each user's character operation, so the game animation based on the play screen also differs for each user (that is, for each user terminal 10).

Also, video recording of the game is continuously performed from the start of the game play to the end of the play. However, a game video recorded from the start of a game play to the end of the play has a relatively large capacity. Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to specify a part of the game video and output the specified video (hereinafter referred to as the target video) in a state that can be used by the user who has played the game. Outputting the target moving image in a state in which the user can use it means outputting the target moving image so that the target moving image can be saved, browsed, and used according to the user's request.

Here, use of the target moving image means editing, processing, sharing, etc. of the target moving image, and sharing includes posting to SNS, a moving image posting site, or the like. Also, outputting the target moving image means generating and storing data of the target moving image, and generating may include cutting out (extracting) the target moving image from the game moving image.
Note that the storage destination of the target moving image before being used by the user is not particularly limited.

In addition, in the present invention, it is possible to pick up and detect sounds in the real space with the built-in microphone of the user terminal 10 while playing the game. The sound in the real space is the sound generated in the space where the user playing the game exists, and is the sound other than the operation sounds, effect sounds, and BGM in the game. Sounds in the real world include the voices of the user playing the game, the voices of people around the user, and the sounds emitted from devices such as crackers and musical instruments.

Also, in joint play, the sound detected by each user terminal 10 can be converted into data and transmitted to another user terminal 10, and the sound can be reproduced by the user terminal 10 of the transmission destination. By using this function, a plurality of users participating in joint play can have voice conversations (so-called voice chat) with other users while playing the game.

Note that icons IC corresponding to each user are displayed on the play screen displayed on each user terminal in the joint play mode, as shown in FIG. The icon IC represents the name of the user who operates each user terminal 10, or a photograph or illustration of the user's face. Then, when a certain user speaks while playing the game, the user's user terminal 10 detects the speech sound (voice). IC) is displayed in the display mode when the speech sound is detected.
The display mode when the speech sound is detected is a display mode in which it is possible to identify which user terminal 10 has detected the speech sound. Specifically, the display size of the icon IC is larger than when the speech sound is not detected. or the icon IC shakes. Also, instead of the icon IC, a balloon mark containing character information indicating the contents of the detected utterance sound may be displayed near the character operated by the user who has made the utterance.

As described above, in the joint play mode, each user terminal can display the play screen while playing back the sounds of conversations of each user (sounds in the real space). In addition, the game video recorded during the game play in the co-play mode and the target video specified from the game video incorporate the sound detected by each user terminal, and the above-mentioned icon IC or balloon The mark is superimposed on the video.

It is preferable to obtain the user's consent in advance before starting the game when detecting sounds such as the user's utterances, converting the detected sounds into data, and incorporating them into the moving image. If the user's consent cannot be obtained, the user's utterance is detected and used in the determination process (determination by the determination unit 58) described later, but is not converted into data and incorporated into the moving image.

Further, when a user has an SNS account and an application program for SNS (hereinafter referred to as an SNS application) is installed in the user terminal 10, the user can post the target moving image to the SNS. Specifically, when the user performs an application activation operation after completing the quest, the SNS application is activated. Then, when the user performs a post operation on the screen displayed after the quest is over (for example, presses the post button in the screen shown in FIG. 3), the target video specified from the game video of the quest played immediately before is posted on the SNS. Posted in. The posted target video is shared by SNS users, and specifically, can be viewed by SNS users. It should be noted that the destination of posting the target video may be other than the SNS, and may be, for example, a video posting site.

[Regarding the first embodiment of the present invention]

Among these functional units, the storage unit 54 is realized by the memory 22 or the storage 24, and other than that, various hardware devices that configure the user terminal 10 and programs installed in the user terminal 10 work together. It is realized by
Each functional unit will be described in detail below.

(Operation reception part)
The operation accepting unit 51 accepts an operation for progressing the game performed by the user through the user terminal 10 . The user's operations accepted by the operation accepting unit 51 include various operations performed by the user before, during, and after the game is played, specifically, various selections, designations, instructions, requests, orders, permissions, or Rejection, registration and other input operations are included.

(Game progress part)
The game progressing unit 52 progresses the game according to the operation received from the user based on the data for progressing the game sent from the server 14 during the game play. For example, when receiving a user's movement operation, the game progression unit 52 moves the user's character in the field. At this time, the game progression section 52 may change the state of the field in conjunction with the movement of the character, for example, change the appearance position of the enemy on the field. Further, when receiving an attack operation from the user, the game progression unit 52 causes the character to attack enemies present around the character.

Further, when a predetermined event occurrence condition is satisfied during game play, data for event occurrence is sent from the server 14 . When receiving the data, the game progression unit 52 generates an event in the game based on the received data. As a result, the user (specifically, the user who operates the character positioned near the location where the event occurred on the field) can play the in-game event that has occurred.

(Display playback part)
The display/reproduction unit 53 displays a play screen on the display 29 and reproduces BGM of the game from the speaker 30 during game play. The play screen displays a part of the field of a game (quest) that is played by a plurality of users in collaboration, and the display range changes according to the position of the character operated by the user. Therefore, the play screen differs for each user (in other words, for each user terminal 10).

Further, when a plurality of users have a voice conversation (voice chat), the display/playback unit 53 receives the utterance sound of each user converted into data from the server 14, develops the received sound data, and reproduces the utterance of each user. play a sound. At this time, the display/playback unit 53 displays the icon IC corresponding to each of the plurality of users on the play screen, and displays the icon IC corresponding to the user whose speech sound is detected (that is, the speaker) when the speech sound is detected. is displayed in the display mode.

(storage unit)
The storage unit 54 stores various data necessary for progressing the game, such as attributes and ability parameters of characters operated by the user. In addition, the storage unit 54 stores the user's game play history (the number of times played, the date and time of each play, other users and quests played together in the joint play mode, etc.), information related to the user's friends, and the like. . Furthermore, the storage unit 54 temporarily stores game moving images recorded by the recording unit 55 during game play. Furthermore, when the target moving image specified from the game moving image is saved by the saving unit 61 , the data of the target moving image is saved (accumulated) in the storage unit 54 .

(Recording part)
The recording unit 55 records (captures) a play screen during game play to record a game moving image. Video recording of the game is continuously performed from the start of the game play to the end of the play. A game moving image recorded from the start of the game play to the end of the play is temporarily stored in the storage unit 54. - 特許庁Also, in the joint play mode, in the user terminals 10 of each of the multiple users participating in the joint play, the recording unit 55 records a game moving image based on the play screen of each user for each user. In this case, in each user terminal 10, the game video recorded by the recording unit 55 differs for each user (that is, for each user terminal 10).

(Recording part)
The recording unit 56 records sounds in the real space during game play, specifically sounds within a range that can be picked up by the microphone 28 of the user terminal 10 . Here, the sound in the real space may include, for example, the voice of the user operating the user terminal 10 and the voice of people around the user. Also, in the joint play mode, when a plurality of users play the game in the same space and are close to each other, the sounds of the real space may include the speech sounds of each of the plurality of users.
Recording is continuously performed from the start of game play to the end of play, and the voice data recorded from the start of game play to the end of play is temporarily stored in the storage unit 54 .

(detector)
The detection unit 57 detects sounds in the real space during game play (hereinafter also referred to as sounds during game play). Specifically, during game play, the microphone 28 of the user terminal 10 picks up sound and outputs a sound signal. The detection unit 57 detects sound during game play by receiving the output sound signal. Note that the detection unit 57 is not limited to detecting sounds during game play, and for example, detects sounds during game play by analyzing data recorded by the recording unit 56 after the game is over. It's okay.

(Judgment part)
The determination unit 58 executes determination processing and determines whether or not the value related to the sound detected by the detection unit 57 satisfies a predetermined condition (hereinafter also referred to as determination condition) during game play. Sound-related values are features and parameters identified by analyzing sound data detected during game play. Specifically, sound volume, range, number of speakers, etc. .

The determination condition may be either one of the following conditions R1 and R2, or a combination of both conditions R1 and R2.
Condition R1: The volume of sound detected during game play is greater than or equal to a threshold.
Condition R2: The number of speakers identified from the sound detected during game play is greater than or equal to a threshold.

Both the threshold in condition R1 and the threshold in condition R2 may be determined arbitrarily. Also, the method for specifying the volume of sound when determining condition R1 is not particularly limited, and a known volume recognition method can be used. Similarly, the method for specifying the number of speakers when determining condition R2 is not particularly limited, and a known analysis method can be used.

As described above, it is possible to determine the degree of excitement during game play by determining whether or not the value related to the sound detected during game play satisfies the determination condition.

Also, when a plurality of users jointly play a game in the joint play mode, it is assumed that there is a user who satisfies a preset pertinent condition while playing the game. In this case, the determination unit 58 may perform the determination process in the user terminal 10 of the user who satisfies the corresponding condition among the plurality of users. Here, the applicable condition is a condition that a predetermined game result is reached in the game. is to use

Furthermore, in the case of co-play mode, in addition to the above determination, when a certain user satisfies the applicable conditions, or until a predetermined time elapses from that point, the game is jointly played with the user who satisfies the applicable conditions. The determination unit 58 may perform determination processing in the user terminal 10 of another user who plays in . In other words, it may be determined whether or not values related to sounds detected during game play satisfy the determination conditions in the user terminals 10 of the user who has satisfied the relevant conditions and the other users.

Further, in the joint play mode, when the determination unit 58 specifies the number of speakers when determining whether the determination condition (more specifically, condition R2) is satisfied, the sound detected by one user terminal 10 You may specify the number of speakers from. Alternatively, the number of speakers may be specified from the sound detected by each user terminal 10, and the number of speakers specified for each user terminal 10 may be added to obtain the total number of speakers.

(output part)
The output unit 59 executes an output process when the detected value related to the sound during game play satisfies the determination condition. In the output process, the output unit 59 identifies the target moving image from the game moving images recorded by the recording unit 55, and outputs the target moving image in a state that can be used by the user who has played the game.

In the output process, which part of the recorded game video is specified as the target video is determined based on the sound detected by the detection unit 57. Specifically, the value related to the detected sound is determined. Determined when the conditions are met. For example, the output unit 59 sets the point of time when the value related to the detected sound satisfies the determination condition as the reference point of time, and sets the point of time preceding the reference point of time by a predetermined time (for example, about 15 seconds) as the starting point of time, as shown in FIG. 6A. Alternatively, the moving image from the start time point to the reference time point may be specified as the target moving image.

To give another example, in the output process, the execution timing of an in-game event that is specified based on the point in time (reference point in time) at which the value related to the detected sound in the recorded game video satisfies the determination condition. You may specify the animation according to as a target animation. In more detail, when the volume of the detected sound is equal to or greater than the threshold and the determination condition is satisfied, the in-game event being executed at that point in time or the in-game event that ended immediately before that point in time is specified. . Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, it is preferable to specify, as the target video, a video from the start of implementation of the specified in-game event to the end of implementation of the specified in-game event in the game video. For example, if the identified in-game event is a battle with a boss enemy, the animation from the start of the battle to the end of the battle (that is, defeating the enemy) is identified as the target animation. Also, if the identified in-game event is the exchange of an item between users, the moving image from the time when one user provides the item to the time when another user picks up the item is identified as the target moving image. be.

Further, when the value of each sound detected a plurality of times during game play satisfies the determination condition, the output unit 59 executes the output process each time the determination condition is satisfied. In this case, the same number of target images as the number of executions of the output process are specified from the game animation, and each target image is output.

Further, in the case of the joint play mode, when the determination condition is satisfied during the game play, the output unit 59 executes the output process at the user terminal 10 of each of the plurality of users. To explain in more detail, among a plurality of users who play the game together, when the value related to the sound detected by the user terminal 10 of the user who satisfies the corresponding condition satisfies the judgment condition, each user terminal 10 outputs Processing is performed.

In the output process executed at each user terminal 10 in the case of the joint play mode, the target animation specified for each user terminal 10 is selected from the game animation for each user terminal 10 based on the play screen displayed on each user terminal 10. to output In this case, the specific range of the target moving image is synchronized between the user terminals 10 . To explain in an easy-to-understand manner, in the output process at each user terminal 10, target videos of the same timing (simultaneous period) between the user terminals 10 are specified and output from the game videos recorded for each user terminal 10 (FIG. 6C reference).

In the case of the joint play mode, the judgment condition is satisfied on the user terminal 10 side of the user who satisfies the relevant condition, and the judgment is made on the user terminal 10 side of another user who plays the game jointly with the user who satisfies the relevant condition. The output process may be executed in each user terminal 10 when the conditions are satisfied. That is, at the time when the value related to the sound detected by the user terminal 10 of the user who satisfied the corresponding condition satisfies the determination condition, or until a predetermined time elapses from that time, the user terminal 10 of the other user The output process may be executed when the value related to the sound detected in satisfies the determination condition.

(presentation part)
The presentation unit 60 executes the presentation process after the play of the game is finished. In the presentation process, the presentation unit 60 displays the presentation screen shown in FIG. 7 to present the target moving image output by the output unit 59 in the output process to the user who has played the game. On the presentation screen, as shown in FIG. 7, a thumbnail image showing one scene of the target moving image is displayed.

Further, when the output unit 59 executes the output process multiple times during the game play, in the presentation process, a plurality (specifically, the same number as the number of execution times of the output process) of target moving images are presented in a list format. At this time, the presentation unit 60 presents each target moving image in an order according to the sound corresponding to each target moving image. Specifically, the presentation unit 60 identifies the volume of the sound that triggered the execution of the output process for each of the target videos, and presents the target videos in descending order of volume. For example, in the presentation screen of FIG. 7, the thumbnail image is displayed at a higher position for a target moving image with a higher volume. This allows the user to compare the degree of excitement at the time when each target moving image was recorded between the target moving images.
In addition to the thumbnail image, information indicating the volume of the sound that triggered the execution of the output process or information determined based on the volume is also displayed on the presentation screen for each target moving image. good too. Information determined based on volume includes, for example, a rank or level determined for each volume (specifically, volume level low, medium, high, etc.).

The storage unit 61 stores the target moving image output by the output unit 59 in the storage unit 54 based on the user's storage operation. Along with this, of the recorded game video, portions other than the saved target video are deleted from the viewpoint of data capacity reduction. In addition, when saving the target moving image, the storage unit 61 also stores sound data (recorded data) recorded at the same time as the target moving image was recorded, among the audio data recorded by the recording unit 56. can be saved. In this case, the recorded data to be saved may be incorporated in the target moving image to be the same data file as the target moving image, or may be a data file separate from the target moving image.

Further, when a plurality of target moving images are presented on the presentation screen by the presentation unit 60, the user designates one or more target moving images to be saved and performs a saving operation. In this case, the storage unit 61 stores one or more target moving images designated as storage targets, and deletes target moving images that have not been designated.

(posting section)
The posting unit 62 posts the target moving image output by the output unit 59 to the SNS or the moving image posting site based on the user's posting operation. Further, when a plurality of target videos are presented on the presentation screen by the presentation unit 60, the user designates one or more target videos as posting targets and performs a posting operation, and the posting unit 62 selects one or more target videos as posting targets. Post one or more eligible videos.

[Information processing flow according to the first embodiment of the present invention]
As an information processing flow according to the first embodiment of the present invention, a series of information processing flow related to recording a game moving image will be described with reference to FIG.

The information processing flow according to the first embodiment employs the information processing method of the present invention. In other words, each step in the information processing flow shown in FIG. 8 corresponds to a component of the information processing method of the present invention. Further, the information processing flow described below is merely an example, and unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps added, or the execution order of the steps may be changed without departing from the scope of the present invention. .
Below, suppose that two users (users A and B) jointly play a game in the joint play mode, and more specifically, play the same quest.

The information processing flow according to the first embodiment is executed by the processors 21 of the user terminals 10 of the users A and B, respectively. At the start of the information processing flow, users A and B perform game start operations on their user terminals 10, specifically select a joint play mode, and perform matching of users participating in joint play. .

When the joint play of the game is started, the processor 21 displays the play screen of the game on the display, records (captures) the play screen, and records the game video (S001). During game play, the play screen displayed on each user terminal 10 is different for each user terminal 10, and changes according to the play operation by each user (specifically, the current position of the character operated by the user). Therefore, the recorded game video differs for each user terminal 10 .

The processor 21 also records sounds during game play (S002). For example, when the user or a person around the user speaks, the processor 21 records the speech sound as the sound during game play.

The processor 21 also detects sound during game play (S003), executes determination processing, and determines whether or not the value of the detected sound satisfies a determination condition (S004). In step S004, it may be determined whether or not the determination condition is satisfied based on the sound detected by the user terminal 10 of the user who satisfies the corresponding condition among the users A and B. For example, when user A satisfies the applicable condition, it is determined whether the volume of sound detected by user A's user terminal 10 or the number of speakers identified from the detected sound is equal to or greater than a threshold. You can judge.

In addition to the above determination, the volume of the sound detected by the user terminal 10 of the user B or the speaker is detected at the time when the user A satisfies the relevant condition or until a predetermined time elapses from that time. is equal to or greater than a threshold. That is, the user terminals 10 of the users A and B may determine whether or not the detected sound satisfies the determination condition.

Then, if the detected sound value satisfies the determination condition (Yes in S004), the processor 21 of each user terminal 10 executes output processing (S005). In the output process, among the game videos recorded during the game play, a video of a predetermined period is specified as a target video, and the target video is output in a state that can be used by the user. Here, the predetermined period is a period between the point in time when the value of the detected sound satisfies the determination condition (reference time point) and the point in time (start time point) after a certain period of time from the reference point in time. Alternatively, the predetermined period is the period from the start to the end of the in-game event that is being implemented at the time when the value related to the detected sound satisfies the judgment condition, or the in-game event that ended immediately before that time. It's okay.

The above steps S003 to S005 are repeated until the game play ends (S006). That is, every time a sound during game play is detected and the detected sound satisfies the determination condition, the output process is executed and the target moving image is output.

When the game play (co-play) ends, the processor 21 executes presentation processing (S007). In the presentation process, the target moving image output in the output process is presented. Specifically, in the presentation process executed on the user terminal 10 of the user A, the game video based on the play screen corresponding to the operation of the user A (hereinafter, for convenience, referred to as the game video of the user A) A target video is presented. On the other hand, in the presentation process executed by the user terminal 10 of the user B, the target video specified from the game video based on the play screen corresponding to the user B's operation (hereinafter referred to as the game video of the user B for convenience) is presented. be done.

Further, when the output process is executed multiple times during game play, in the presentation process, a plurality of target videos (the same number as the number of times the output process is executed) correspond to the respective target videos on the presentation screen shown in FIG. They are presented in the order according to the sound they make, specifically in the order according to the volume.

Each of the users A and B confirms the presented target moving image on the screen of the user terminal 10, and performs a predetermined operation when using the target moving image. Specifically, each user performs a saving operation when saving the target moving image (S008), and the user terminal 10 that receives the saving operation saves the target moving image to be saved (S009). Further, each user performs a posting operation when posting a target moving image (S010), and the user terminal 10 that has received the posting operation posts the target moving image to be posted (S011).
Note that when a plurality of target videos are presented in the presentation process, the user designates one or more target videos from among the plurality of target videos, performs a save operation or a post operation, and the user who accepts the operation The terminal 10 saves or posts one or more designated target videos.

The information processing flow according to the first embodiment ends when all the steps described above are completed.

As in the first embodiment, the output unit 59 of the second embodiment executes output processing when a value related to sound (real space sound) detected during game play satisfies the determination condition. In the output process, a target moving image is specified from the game moving images recorded on the user terminal 10 side based on the sound that satisfies the determination condition, and the target moving image is output in a state that can be used by the user who has played the game. At this time, the storage destination of the target moving image in the second embodiment may be the server 14 or the user terminal 10 .

In addition, in the case of the joint play mode, the play screens displayed on the user terminals 10 of the multiple users who play the game jointly are different for each user terminal 10. However, in the second embodiment, it is the same as in the first embodiment. , the output unit 59 executes output processing for each user terminal 10 . That is, in the output process of the second embodiment, the target video specified for each user terminal 10 is output from the game video for each user terminal 10 based on the play screen displayed on each user terminal 10 . As a result, target moving images with different displayed images are output as many as the number of user terminals 10 (in other words, as many as the number of users participating in the joint play). Note that the target moving image for each user terminal 10 is a moving image recorded at the same timing (simultaneous period) during game play.

Further, in the case of the joint play mode, the output unit 59 identifies from a game video based on a play screen displayed on the user terminal 10 of a certain user among a plurality of users (hereinafter also referred to as a certain user's game video for convenience). The selected target moving image can be output in a state in which it can be used by any user other than a certain user. For example, the target moving image specified from the user A's game moving image can be output to the server 14 in a state that the user B can use it. That is, in the second embodiment, the user B can save the target moving image specified from the user A's game moving image, or can post it on the SNS or the moving image posting site.

(presentation part)
As in the first embodiment, the presentation unit 60 of the second embodiment executes presentation processing after the end of playing the game. to present the target video. The target moving image presented to each user is, as described above, a moving image recorded at the same timing (simultaneous period) during game play.

Also, in the joint play mode, when the output process is executed a plurality of times during game play and a plurality of target moving images are output, the presentation unit 60 presents the plurality of target moving images to each user. Specifically, when the output process is performed m times (m is a natural number of 2 or more), m target moving images are presented on each user terminal 10 in the presentation process. Also, in the presentation process of the second embodiment, different target moving images may be presented for each user. For example, user A may be presented with a target video specified from user A's game video, and user B may be presented with a target video specified from user B's game video. Alternatively, target videos for all users may be presented to each of a plurality of users who have jointly played the game in the joint play mode. The target moving image specified from the game moving image and the target moving image specified from the user B's game moving image may be presented.

(First specified part)
The first specifying unit 63 sends the target video specified from the game video of a certain user (hereinafter referred to as the first user) among the plurality of users who jointly play the game in the joint play mode to the first user. is presented, the first specific process is executed. In the first specifying process, among the target videos presented to the first user in the presentation process (that is, the target videos specified from the game videos of the first user), the selected videos selected by the first user are selected. Identify. Note that the selection operation of the target moving image by the first user is performed through the presentation screen of FIG. 7, for example.

In the second identification process, the second user is identified among the users who jointly play the game in the joint play mode. The second user is a user involved in the in-game event corresponding to the selected moving image identified by the first identifying unit 63, for example, the user who contributed most to the in-game event. Note that the in-game event corresponding to the selected moving image is an in-game event held at the same timing as when the selected moving image was recorded.

More specifically, the second identifying unit 64 identifies, for each user, a moving image based on a play screen while the above-described in-game event is being carried out, from the game moving images of each user recorded during game play. After that, the second identifying unit 64 analyzes the moving image identified for each user, and identifies the play contents of each user in the in-game event from the analysis result. And the 2nd specific|specification part 64 specifies a 2nd user based on the play content of each specified user. For example, if the in-game event corresponding to the selected moving image is a battle with a boss enemy, the user who operates the character that defeated the boss enemy is identified as the second user.

(recommended part)
The recommendation unit 65 executes the recommendation processing after the second identification unit 64 executes the second identification processing. In the recommendation process, the target video identified from the second user's game video, more specifically, the target video recorded at the same timing as the selected video is recommended to the first user. In the recommendation process, as shown in FIG. 10, a thumbnail image of a recommended target video (hereinafter referred to as a recommended video) is displayed on the user terminal 10 of the first user. Thereby, the first user can check the video (recommended video) recorded on the user terminal 10 of the second user at the same time as the video selected by the first user. As a result, for example, regarding a certain in-game event, a video not shown in the target video presented to the first user (for example, a scene in which a boss enemy is defeated) is recorded on the user terminal 10 of the second user. You can get it from the video.

Then, the first user can use the recommended video by performing a usage operation such as a save operation and a posting operation through the recommendation screen shown in FIG. Alternatively, the recommended videos can be posted on SNS or video posting sites.

(notification section)
The notification unit 66 executes notification processing when one of the users who play the game together in the joint play mode performs a use operation on the target moving image presented in the presentation processing. In the notification process, the notification unit 66 collects information regarding the above-described usage operation, specifically, the user who performed the usage operation, the target video to be used (more specifically, saved or posted), the usage method, etc. Notify users other than the user who performed the usage operation.

Next, an information processing flow according to the second embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to FIG. The information processing flow according to the second embodiment employs the information processing method of the present invention, and each step in the information processing flow shown in FIG. 11 corresponds to the constituent elements of the information processing method of the present invention.
In the following description, it is assumed that two users (users A and B) play the game together in the joint play mode.

Each step of the information processing flow according to the second embodiment is performed by the processor 41 of the server 14 and the processors 21 of the user terminals 10 of the users A and B, respectively. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, steps S021 to S027 in the information processing flow according to the second embodiment are generally common to steps S001 to S007 in the information processing flow according to the first embodiment shown in FIG.

Further, the step S021 of recording a game video during game play and the step S022 of recording sound during game play are performed by the processors 21 of the user terminals 10 of the users A and B, respectively, as shown in FIG. is executed, and step S023 and subsequent steps are executed by the processor 41 of the server 14. FIG. In addition, the processor 41 receives recorded game video data (recorded data) and recorded sound data (recorded data) from each user terminal 10 at any time during game play.

Here, in the presentation process executed in step S027, three target moving images p1, p2, and p3 are presented to users A and B, and recorded at timings t1, t2, and t3 during game play, respectively. Suppose it is a video. Also, the three target videos p1, p2, and p3 are each associated with an in-game event. It is a recorded video.
Note that, hereinafter, the three target videos presented to the user A are referred to as “target videos pa1, pa2, pa3”, and the three target videos presented to the user B are referred to as “target videos pb1, pb2 , pb3” (see FIG. 12).

Each of the users A and B confirms the target moving images presented in the presentation process on the screen of the user terminal 10 and performs a selection operation on the user terminal 10 to select one or more target moving images. When the processor 41 of the server 14 receives the selection operation through communication with the user terminal 10 (S028), it executes the first specifying process (S029). For example, when receiving a selection operation by user A, the processor 41 performs first identification processing with user A as the first user, and identifies the selected moving image selected by user A in the processing.
Here, it is assumed that the selected moving image is the target moving image pa3 among the three target moving images pa1, pa2, and pa3 presented to the user A, as shown in FIG.

After that, the processor 41 executes a second identification process, and identifies the user who was involved in the in-game event corresponding to the selected moving image pa3 among the users A and B as the second user (S030). Taking the case of FIG. 12 as an example, the selected moving image pa3 selected by the user A corresponds to the in-game event of the battle with the boss enemy, as described above. Here, when the user B defeats the boss enemy in the in-game event, the processor 41 identifies the user B as the second user in the second identification process.

After that, the processor 41 executes the recommendation process, and as shown in FIG. 12, the target moving image specified from the game moving image of the user B who is the second user and recorded at the same timing as the selected moving image pa3. Movie pb3 is recommended to user A who is the first user (S031). Then, when the user A performs a save operation or a post operation on the recommended video pb3 (S032, S034), the processor 41 accepts the operation and saves or posts the recommended video pb3 (S033, S035). .

Note that although not shown in FIG. 11, the users A and B specify one or more of the three target videos p1, p2, and p3 presented in the presentation process, and perform a save operation or Posting operations may be performed. In this case, the processor 41 may save the specified target moving image in the user terminal 10 of the user who performed the saving operation, or post it to SNS or the like. Then, the processor 41 may execute notification processing to notify the user other than the user who performed the usage operation of the information regarding the usage operation (specifically, the save operation or the posting operation).

The information processing flow according to the second embodiment ends when all the steps described above are completed.

[Regarding Modified Example of Second Embodiment]
Regarding the second embodiment of the present invention, in the case described above, the target moving image is specified from the game moving images of each of the multiple users who play the game together in the joint play mode. That is, in the case described above, the processor 41 of the server 14 identifies the target moving image for each user terminal 10 from the game moving images recorded by each user terminal 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, among a plurality of users, the target moving image may be specified from the game moving image of one of the users (hereinafter referred to as a specific user).

In other words, in the output process of the second embodiment, the target moving image specified from the game moving image based on the play screen displayed on the user terminal 10 of the specific user can be used by any one of the users different from the plurality of users. can be output with Here, the specific user may be the user identified based on the sound detected by the user terminal 10 during game play, for example, the user whose detected sound volume is the loudest among a plurality of users. Alternatively, the specific user may be a user who has played a game in which a predetermined result is obtained, for example, a user who has cleared an in-game event such as a battle with a boss enemy, or a cooperative attack with another user's character. user.

In that case, in the presentation process, the target moving image specified based on the sound and the target moving image specified based on the play content are presented. Each target moving image may be presented in an order according to each target moving image and the corresponding sound.

Alternatively, the target video may be identified from the game video based on the sound detected during game play and the content of the user's play in the game. Specifically, a score (corresponding to an example of a value related to sound) is set for a user playing the game, and the user's score (points) is added according to the user's behavior during game play. For example, defeating a certain number of enemies within a given time, rescuing a fellow character who has been captured, talking at a certain volume or higher, being surrounded by enemies, defeating a boss enemy, etc. If you do, the score will be added as needed according to each action. Incidentally, actions other than those described above may be included as actions to which points are added.
Then, when the score exceeds the specified value, the part for a few seconds before and after that point is specified as the target video, and the specified target video is output after the game play (more specifically, after the quest is finished). should be.
It should be noted that the above score may be deducted as time elapses when the action to be added is not performed for a certain period of time or longer. In such a case, the target moving image is specified in a case where the actions to be added are repeatedly performed in a short period of time, for example, in a scene where the player gets excited and talks at a high volume immediately after defeating the boss enemy. On the other hand, if the conversation is as lively as occasional voice chat, it becomes difficult to execute the process of specifying and outputting the target moving image (output process).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, of the game videos recorded during game play, portions other than the target video are deleted, but the present invention is not limited to this. You can leave it as it is.
