Hereinafter, one embodiment of a video distribution system will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the video distribution system 11 includes a plurality of user devices 12 and a server 13. The video distribution system 11 is a system in which a user uses a user device 12 to distribute a video including an avatar object corresponding to the user to the user devices 12 used by other users via the server 13. A video application program for viewing and distributing videos is installed on the user device 12. Hereinafter, a user who distributes a video will be referred to as a "distribution user", a user who views a video distributed by a distribution user will be referred to as a "viewing user", and if these are not distinguished, they will be simply referred to as a "user". If a distribution user is not distributing a video, the distribution user can also be a viewing user who views videos distributed by other distribution users.

(user equipment)
The user device 12 is a smartphone (multifunctional telephone terminal), a tablet terminal, a personal computer, a console game machine, a wearable computer such as a head-mounted display, or an information processing device other than these devices capable of reproducing moving images.

The user device 12 includes a computer processor 20, a memory 21, a storage 22 (storage medium), and a communication interface (I/F) 23. The computer processor 20 is an arithmetic device that loads an operating system or other programs into the memory 21 from the storage 22 or other storage, and executes instructions retrieved from the memory 21. The computer processor 20 is one or more arithmetic circuits such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphic Processing Unit), or an NPU (Neural Network Processing Unit). The communication I/F 23 can send and receive data to and from the server 13 and other user devices 12 via the network 14 . The network 14 includes various networks such as a local area network and the Internet. Communication I/F 23 is implemented as hardware, software, or a combination thereof.

The memory 21 is a main storage device (recording medium) that can be directly read and written by the computer processor 20, and is composed of a semiconductor memory or the like. The storage 22 is an auxiliary storage device (recording medium), and is, for example, a storage medium such as a magnetic disk, an optical disk, or a semiconductor memory. The storage 22 can also be used in combination with a plurality of storages. The storage 22 stores a video application program 22A, avatar data 22B for drawing an avatar object, and other information for executing the video application program 22A. The video application program 22A is switched between a distribution mode in which the user himself or herself distributes a video, and a viewing mode in which the user views a video distributed by another distribution user, in accordance with a user's instruction. Avatar data 22B is three-dimensional model data for generating three-dimensional animation. The user device 12 acquires the avatar data 22B from the server 13 at a predetermined timing. For example, the avatar data 22B includes skeletal data and mesh data that follows the skeletal data and renders the avatar object. The avatar data 22B is model data in which at least the head, eyes, mouth, hair, etc. can be moved.

Further, the user device 12 includes a sensor unit 24, a speaker 25, a microphone 26, an operation section 27, and a display 28. At least one of the sensor unit 24, the speaker 25, the microphone 26, the operating section 27, and the display 28 may be provided as the same device as the computer processor 20, the memory 21, etc., or may be provided separately. It's okay.

The sensor unit 24 is a group of sensors that detect changes in the user's facial expressions (including blinking, opening and closing of the mouth, etc.), head movements, and changes in the user's relative position with respect to the sensor unit 24 . For example, the sensor unit 24 includes an emission part that emits infrared rays toward the user, an infrared camera that detects infrared rays reflected from the user's face, a camera that photographs the user's face, and image processing of data photographed by the camera. and an image processing section. Alternatively, the sensor unit 24 may be a sensor other than this, or may be further combined with sensors other than the above-mentioned sensors, such as an acceleration sensor or a gyro sensor.

The speaker 25 converts the audio data into audio and outputs it. The microphone 26 inputs the voice uttered by the user and converts it into voice data. The operation unit 27 includes a touch panel integrated with the display 28, operation buttons provided on the casing of the user device 12, a keyboard, a mouse, a controller, and the like. The display 28 outputs various images in accordance with output instructions from the computer processor 20.

The computer processor 20 functions as an application management section 20A, a motion data generation section 20B, and a display control section 20C by executing a video application program 22A stored in the storage 22. The application management unit 20A manages video application programs. The application management section 20A inputs a request from the operation section 27 or a request from the server 13, and outputs the request to the motion data generation section 20B or the display control section 20C depending on the content of the request. The application management unit 20A also transmits requests from the motion data generation unit 20B and the display control unit 20C to the server 13, and records various data received from the server 13 in the storage 22.

The motion data generation unit 20B acquires detection data of the user's facial expression, head movement, and relative position of the user with respect to the sensor unit 24 from the sensor unit 24, and applies the acquired detection data to the avatar data 22B.

In the distribution mode, the display control unit 20C displays the data received from the server 13 while displaying the avatar data 22B (motion data) to which the detection data is applied. In the distribution mode, the display control unit 20C may display a video by combining the video data generated by itself and the data received from the server 13, or may receive the entire data for displaying the video from the server 13. You can also display the video. Furthermore, when a video is not distributed in the distribution mode, the display control unit 20C reads out image data stored in the storage 22 and displays various screens on the display 28 in response to a request from the application management unit 20A. do. Cases in which such a screen is displayed include cases in which the distribution user edits his or her own avatar object, cases in which settings are made for a video application program, and the like. Furthermore, the display control unit 20C plays back the video using the video data received from the server 13 in the viewing mode. The display control unit 20C may play back the data file downloaded from the server 13 and stored in the storage 22, or may perform streaming playback where the data is played while receiving data from the server 13.

(server)
Next, the server 13 will be explained. The server 13 is used by a service provider who provides a platform service for distributing videos. The server 13 includes a computer processor 30, a memory 31, a storage 32, and a communication I/F 33. Computer processor 30 has a similar configuration to computer processor 20 of user device 12 . The computer processor 30 may be configured by combining a plurality of arithmetic circuits. Furthermore, the memory 31, storage 32, and communication I/F 33 have the same configuration as the user device 12. The server 13 may be composed of a plurality of devices, and the computer processor 30, memory 31, storage 32, and communication I/F 33 may be distributed and provided among these devices.

The storage 32 stores a distribution program 32A. The computer processor 20 functions as a distribution management section 30A, a video generation section 30B, a purchase processing section 30C, and a lottery execution section 30D by executing the distribution program 32A.

The distribution management unit 30A stores various data received from the user device 12 in the storage 32, and outputs a request to the video generation unit 30B, purchase processing unit 30C, and lottery execution unit 30D based on the request received from the user device 12. do. Furthermore, the distribution management section 30A inputs requests from the video generation section 30B, the purchase processing section 30C, and the lottery execution section 30D, and transmits them to the user device 12. Specifically, the distribution management unit 30A transmits a list of videos being distributed in response to a request from the user device 12. When the distribution management unit 30A receives the identification information of the video requested from the user device 12, the distribution management unit 30A distributes the video data generated by the video generation unit 30B to the user device 12 that made the request. The distribution management unit 30A also distributes part of the video data, such as the entire video data generated by the video generation unit 30B or a message posted for the video or data of an object for which a display request has been made, to the user of the distribution user. It is also distributed to the device 12. Thereby, the distribution user can view the posted message and the object for which the display request has been made on the screen of the user device 12.

The video generation unit 30B includes a physical calculation engine, and uses motion data of the avatar object received from the user device 12 used by the distribution user to generate a video in the virtual space including audio and images. Further, the video generation unit 30B receives a request to display an object in the video being viewed and a request to display a message from the user device 12 used by the viewing user who views the video, and performs processing according to the display request. The objects for which display requests are made are objects displayed in the virtual space, and include gift objects provided from viewing users to distribution users who distribute videos. The gift object may be something that can be requested to be displayed without paying a price, or it may be something that can be requested to be displayed by paying a price. Alternatively, the gift object may be something for which a fee is paid when the gift object is displayed in response to a display request.

Furthermore, the video generation unit 30B performs processing for displaying the posted message received from the user device 12 as a video. In addition to message content, the posted message includes identification information of the viewing user (user's account name, etc.), posting date and time, and the like.

The purchase processing unit 30C performs object purchase processing according to the user's operation. The purchase process involves purchasing an object by paying consideration (medium) such as coins that can be used within the video application program. Furthermore, the purchase processing unit 30C may also perform processing for exchanging, selling, and transferring objects. The purchase processing unit 30C stores the purchased object in the server 13 as being owned by the user. Sales of purchasable objects are distributed, for example, to distribution users and service providers. The purchase processing section 30C corresponds to a reward exchange section.

When the lottery execution unit 30D receives a lottery request from the user device 12 used by the distribution user, the lottery execution unit 30D draws one or more objects from among the plurality of objects according to a predetermined probability, so-called "gacha". I do. In the lottery, when one or more objects are selected by the lottery execution unit 30D among objects included in a group to be randomly selected associated with a user, the selected object may be deleted from the group. Alternatively, the lottery may be continued without deleting the object selected by the lottery execution unit 30D from the group.

Next, various data stored in the storage 32 of the server 13 will be explained. The storage 32 stores asset data 32B, user management information 32C, possession list information 32D, gift information 32E, and lottery information 32F.

The asset data 32B is data for drawing a virtual space that constitutes a moving image. Specifically, the asset data 32B includes data for drawing the background of the virtual space, audio data such as sound effects, and three-dimensional model data (object model data) for drawing various objects displayed in the video. , texture data, etc.

Objects included in the object model data are distinguished depending on how the user uses them. Specifically, in addition to objects that can be displayed by the distribution user, gift objects provided by the viewing user to the distribution user are included. Gift objects include effect objects, attachment objects, and normal objects. The effect object is an object that affects the impression of the entire viewing screen of the distributed video, and is, for example, an object that imitates confetti, an object that imitates fireworks, or the like. The wearing object is an object displayed on the display screen in association with a specific part of the wearing object. The wearing object is, for example, an accessory (hat, glasses, etc.) that can be worn on the wearing object, clothing (such as a T-shirt), a costume, and other objects that can be worn on the avatar object. The attachment objects are attached to the avatar object for a predetermined period of time in accordance with the order in which the attachment objects are provided by the viewing user or in any other order. A normal object is a gift object other than a wearable object that is placed as an object in a virtual space, and is, for example, an object imitating a stuffed animal or a bouquet of flowers.

Furthermore, objects included in the object model data are also distinguished by their behavior within the virtual space. Specifically, the data includes data on objects (physical behavior objects) that simulate physical behavior such as falling due to gravity, motion due to application of force, etc., and data on objects that do not simulate physical behavior. A component (program) for simulating physical behavior is executable associated with the physical behavior object. In addition, various parameters such as whether to enable virtual gravity, virtual weight of the object, air resistance in the falling direction, air resistance in the rotational direction, friction coefficient, etc. can be set for the physical behavior object. . When an event such as appearance in a virtual space (applying gravity) to a physical behavior object occurs, the associated component is executed and the physical object falls in the virtual space. Furthermore, when the air resistance in the falling direction is increased, the falling speed of the physical behavior object becomes smaller. Note that the objects and gift objects that can be displayed by the distribution user are not distinguished depending on whether they perform physical behavior or not, and may be physical behavior objects and objects that do not perform physical behavior, or may be either one of them. .

Further, a contact determination range for determining collision with another physical behavior object can be set for the physical behavior object. The contact determination range is a three-dimensional space in which vertices and the like are defined by coordinates of a virtual space coordinate system (X, Y, Z). When the contact judgment ranges of physical behavior objects (hereinafter referred to as collision objects) for which contact judgment ranges have been set overlap (hit each other), the video generation unit 30B converts the collision objects into parameters (weights) set for them. , air resistance, etc.), a collision simulation is performed based on a preset dynamic calculation formula. At this time, the video depicts the collision motion in which the colliding objects bounce or push each other. Note that the contact determination range does not necessarily have to have the same size or shape as the object, and it is also possible to set a rectangular parallelepiped contact determination range for a spherical object. Further, for example, if a large value is set for the weight parameter of a collision object, the object will be less likely to bounce back upon collision, compared to a collision object whose weight parameter has a small value.

Next, the user management information 32C will be explained with reference to FIG. 2(a). User management information 32C is stored for each user. The user management information 32C includes user identification information (user ID), user's video distribution history, video viewing history, and the like. Further, the user management information 32C includes coins and gacha points. A coin is a medium that can be used on a video application program or a platform service that provides the same, and is purchased by a user. Coins can be exchanged for objects such as gift objects and other media available in the video application program. Gacha points are awarded when the reward obtained by executing the lottery is sold and when the lottery is executed. Gacha points can be exchanged for at least gacha tickets. Gacha tickets cannot be used by the user who exchanged Gacha points and Gacha tickets, but can be provided to other users. Note that when there is no distinction between media that can be used in a video application program or the like and objects that can be placed in a virtual space, they will be described as "elements."

The possession list information 32D will be explained with reference to FIG. 2(b). Possession list information 32D is stored for each user. The holding list information 32D includes user identification information (user ID) and identification information of held objects that can be displayed in videos distributed by the user. Note that the held objects are, for example, hats, T-shirts, cat ears, gacha tickets, and the like. Furthermore, the possession list information 32D includes information indicating whether or not the possessed object can be attached to the avatar object, and the attachment site. The attachment site is information indicating which site of the avatar object the held object can be attached to when the possessed object is a wearable object. Objects included in the user's possession list information 32D can be used in videos distributed by the user himself. When a viewing user provides a gacha ticket to a distribution user, the holding list information 32D associated with the distribution user includes identification information of the gacha ticket. Note that the possession list information 32D may include the number of objects that can be held in a plurality of objects.

The gift information 32E will be explained with reference to FIG. 2(c). The gift information 32E is information regarding gift objects that can be provided to the distribution user when the user is a viewing user, and is stored for each user. The gift information 32E includes user identification information (user ID), gift identification information, and the number of each gift. A gift is an element of a video application program, and is an object or a medium that can be used in the video application program or the like. When a user exchanges gacha points and a gacha ticket, the gift information 32E associated with the user includes identification information of the gacha ticket.

The lottery information 32F will be explained with reference to FIG. 2(d). The lottery information 32F is a list of objects given to users as rewards through a lottery. Rewards include objects that can be displayed in videos. This reward may have a period of availability set. The lottery information 32F may be data shared by a plurality of users, or may be stored for each user. The lottery information 32F includes reward identification information, reward name, rarity, and probability. The object name is the name of the reward, such as "glasses," and the rarity indicates the rarity of the reward. Probability is the probability that the reward will be selected by lottery.

Next, screen transitions and the like when a lottery is held during video distribution will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. Note that the user device 12 used for video distribution and the user device 12 used for viewing will be described as a smartphone.

As shown in FIG. 3, the distribution user 100 faces the user device 12 so that at least his own face is included in the detection range 101 of the sensor unit 24, and executes the video application program. At this time, the distribution user 100 puts the video application program into distribution mode. Further, when an operation to start distribution is performed in the distribution mode, motion data is transmitted from the user device 12 to the server 13. During video distribution, a video in a virtual space including an avatar object is displayed on the display 28 of the user device 12 used by the distribution user 100. The viewpoint position of the moving image is the position of the sensor unit 24. The position of the avatar object changes according to a change in the relative distance between the distribution user 100 and the sensor unit 24. For example, if the distribution user 100 moves in the y direction in FIG. 3 and moves away from the sensor unit 24, and the relative distance L between the distribution user 100 and the user device 12 increases, the change in the relative distance L will cause the change in the avatar character's virtual space. This is also reflected in the position, and the avatar character moves in the depth direction of the screen.

An example of screen transition when the lottery starts will be described with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4A shows a video screen 110 displayed on the display 28 of the user device 12 used by the distribution user. Note that a similar screen is also displayed on the display 28 of the user device 12 of the viewing user. The face of the avatar object 111 changes as the distribution user's facial expression changes, and the head of the avatar object 111 moves as the distribution user's head moves. Further, as described above, the position of the avatar object 111 changes according to a change in the relative distance between the distribution user 100 and the sensor unit 24. A message 112 sent from the viewing user's user device 12 is displayed on the video screen 110 for a predetermined period of time. The video screen 110 also displays messages 112 that the server 13 outputs in response to events that occur during video distribution. The server 13 detects an event such as a viewing user starting viewing or requesting to display a gift object, and displays a message 112 such as "You have entered the room" or a "hat" message along with the user's account name. A message 112 such as "I have sent you a gift" is displayed on the video screen 110. Furthermore, a distribution switching button 113 and a possession list display button 114 are displayed on the video screen 110. When the distribution switching button 113 is selected, distribution of the video can be started or stopped. Furthermore, when the possession list display button 114 is selected by the distribution user, objects that can be displayed in the video can be selected based on the distribution user's possession list information 32D. Furthermore, a lottery start button 115 for executing a lottery is displayed on the video screen 110. Note that the lottery start button 115 may continue to be displayed from the start of video distribution to the end of distribution, or may be displayed temporarily when the elapsed time from the start of video distribution reaches a predetermined time or according to a predetermined schedule. may be displayed.

FIG. 4(b) is a confirmation screen 116 for confirming execution of the lottery. When the lottery start button 115 shown in FIG. 4(a) is operated, a confirmation window 117 is displayed superimposed on the video screen. When a gacha ticket is included in the possession list information 32D of the distribution user, a confirmation button 118 is displayed to confirm whether or not to use the gacha ticket. Further, the confirmation window 117 displays a confirmation button 119 and a cancel button 120 for holding a lottery without using a gacha ticket. The user device 12 transmits a lottery request to the server 13 when the confirmation buttons 118 and 119 are selected.

With reference to FIG. 5, an example of screen transitions displayed on the user device 12 when a lottery is executed will be described. As shown in FIG. 5A, upon receiving a lottery request from the user device 12, the video generation unit 30B causes a lottery object 130 to appear in the virtual space that includes the avatar object 111. The appearance position of the lottery object 130 in the screen depth direction (Y direction of the coordinate system of the virtual space) is preferably between the viewpoint position 131 of the video determined according to the position of the sensor unit 24 and the avatar object 111. Further, the appearance position of the lottery object 130 in the upper direction of the screen (Z direction) is near the head of the avatar object 111, and is a position in the air in the virtual space. That is, in this embodiment, the lottery object 130 is not placed on the floor, table, or the like in the virtual space. Furthermore, other gift objects 132, such as gift objects, are included in the virtual space. Other gift objects 132 include those displayed as a background, such as a "hanging scroll" (see normal object 132 in FIG. 5(b)). The display positions of other gift objects 132 may be determined at random, or may be fixed positions determined according to the type of gift object 132.

Furthermore, a collision determination range 133 that is approximately the same size as the lottery object 130 is set in the lottery object 130 . Similarly, a collision determination range 133 is also set for at least a portion of the gift object 132, which is a collision object. Note that the virtual space may include a gift object 132 that is not a collision object.

As shown in FIG. 5B, when the lottery object 130 appears in the virtual space, the lottery object 130 is displayed on the video screen 110. The lottery object 130 is, for example, an object imitating a capsule. As described above, since the lottery object 130 is a physical behavior object, it is displayed so as to fall from the appearance position toward the bottom of the screen. Parameters such as air resistance of the lottery object 130 are set so that the falling speed in the virtual space is smaller than the falling speed of other gift objects. As a result, the speed at which the lottery object 130 falls is lower than the speed at which the gift object 132 falls from a predetermined position, and the lottery object 130 moves slowly within the screen, so it is displayed more conspicuously than other objects. .

If a lottery process is performed before the lottery object 130 is displayed, the movement (falling) behavior of the lottery object 130 may be changed depending on the rarity of the reward that is the result of the lottery process. For example, the parameters set for the lottery object 130 may be changed depending on the rarity of the reward. The parameter may be changed such that the higher the rarity, the higher or lower the falling speed of the lottery object 130. Alternatively, if a reward of high rarity is obtained, the object may fall while trembling or changing direction. Alternatively, depending on the rarity of the reward, one may be selected from a plurality of animations for displaying the lottery object 130 without changing the parameters of the lottery object 130, and the selected animation may be output.

Further, when the distribution user moves the user's head or the like to follow the movement of the lottery object 130 in response to the drawing of the falling motion of the lottery object 130, the movement is applied to the avatar data 22B. As a result, the motion of the head of the avatar object 111 is drawn as if it were chasing the lottery object 130. Note that if the sensor unit 24 can detect the position of the distribution user's eyes, the position of the eyes of the avatar object 111 can be changed.

In this way, immediately after the lottery starts, the lottery presentation screen does not transition to another screen that does not include the avatar object, so the worldview of the video is maintained. Further, while the lottery object 130 is displayed, the distribution user and the viewing user can continue to communicate through voice, posted messages, etc., so they can enjoy a sense of unity by sharing the lottery event.

As shown in FIG. 5C, an object different from a physical behavior object, such as an effect object 136, may be displayed on the video screen 110. The effect object 136 may be, for example, fireworks, comment characters posted from the viewing user's user device 12, or an object indicating a favorable impression, but is not a physical behavior object, or even if it is a physical behavior object, the collision detection range is It may not be set. Even if such an effect object 136 overlaps with a collision object such as the avatar object 111, no collision motion is displayed, and the effect object 136 is displayed as if passing through the collision object.

On the other hand, when the collision determination range of the lottery object 130 overlaps with the collision determination range of another collision object, the video generation unit 30B draws a collision motion in which the lottery object 130 and the gift object 132 collide. For example, the lottery object 130 bounces, the lottery object 130 changes its movement trajectory, or the lottery object 130 rolls down a pile on which a plurality of gift objects 132 are stacked. For example, when the lottery object 130 is set with a rectangular parallelepiped or cubic collision determination range, the lottery object 130 is less likely to roll than when a spherical collision determination range is set. It is possible to suppress movement outside the screen.

As shown in FIG. 5D, when the lottery object 130 is falling, the relative distance between the distribution user and the sensor unit 24 of the user device 12 becomes shorter, and the position of the avatar object 111 in the virtual space changes. If changed, the contact determination range of the lottery object 130 and the contact determination range of the avatar object 111 may overlap. In this case, as shown by broken lines and solid lines in the figure, a collision motion between the lottery object 130 and the avatar object 111 is drawn. In this way, by drawing the lottery object 130 as a collision object in the virtual space, viewing users and distribution users recognize the lottery object 130 as an object, although it is virtual, so that the lottery event has a sense of reality. be able to. As a result, the lottery event can be made more active, so it is possible to increase the number of users viewing the video, the viewing time, and the number of times the video is viewed.

FIG. 6 is an example of screen transition when displaying rewards. The video generation unit 30B determines whether the reward display conditions are satisfied. The reward display condition is a condition for displaying the reward obtained by lottery. The reward display condition in this embodiment is that the elapsed time since the lottery object 130 appears on the video screen 110 reaches a predetermined time. Until the reward display condition is met, the lottery object 130 is displayed as a closed capsule object (first display mode).

As shown in FIG. 6A, when the reward display condition is satisfied, the moving image generation unit 30B displays the lottery object 130 in a second display form such as an open or broken capsule. Next, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the video generation unit 30B displays a window 140 including an image of the reward 135 selected by lottery. When the confirmation button 140A on the window 140 is operated, the distribution management unit 30A adds the identification information of the reward 135 to the possession list information 32D of the distribution user. Furthermore, the distribution management unit 30A adds gacha points such as "300pt" to the user management information 32C.

Referring to FIG. 7, a screen on which the user sells the reward 135 obtained in the lottery will be described. Note that the object can be sold only if the reward 135, which is a sellable object, is obtained. FIG. 7A shows a sale screen 150 that displays held objects that can be sold. The sale screen 150 displays a sell button 151 for selling the reward or the held object when the reward and the held object overlap. At this time, if different usable periods are set for rewards or held objects, objects whose available periods end early can be sold.

As shown in FIG. 7(b), when the sale button 151 shown in FIG. 7(a) is operated, the distribution management unit 30A displays a confirmation window 152 for confirming the sale on the sale screen 150. A confirmation button 153 is displayed in the confirmation window 152. When the confirmation button 153 is selected, the distribution management unit 30A deletes the identification information of the object from the possession list information 32D. Furthermore, the distribution management unit 30A adds predetermined points (for example, "300pt") obtained by selling to the gacha points of the user's user management information 32C.

The points obtained by selling may be changed depending on the rarity of the sold owned object. For example, the higher the rarity, the more points you can get. The points earned may be changed depending on the number of sales made by the user. For example, the greater the number of sales, the higher or lower the points obtained.

A user can exchange gacha points and gacha tickets. When gacha tickets and gacha points are exchanged on a purchase screen (not shown) displayed on the user device 12, the distribution management unit 30A subtracts the gacha points, which are the consideration, from the user's user management information 32C, and also adds the user's gift information. Gacha ticket identification information is stored in 32E.

With reference to FIG. 8, an example of screen transition when a user, as a viewing user, provides a gacha ticket to another distribution user will be described. FIG. 8A shows a viewing screen 160 on which a viewing user views a video. A message posting button 161 and a gift button 162 are displayed on the viewing screen 160. When a message is input into the input field displayed by selecting the message posting button 161, the message 112 is displayed on the viewing screen 160.

FIG. 8B shows a viewing screen 160 on which a gift list 165 that is displayed when the gift button 162 is selected is displayed. Gift list 165 displays gift objects included in gift information 32E. If the gift information 32E includes a gacha ticket, a gacha ticket image 166 is displayed. When the viewing user selects the gacha ticket image 166 and operates the confirm button 167, the identification information of the gacha ticket is stored in the possession list information 32D of the distribution user who is distributing the video. Furthermore, when a gacha ticket is provided, the fact that the gacha ticket has been provided and the account name of the viewing user who is the provider are displayed on the viewing screen 160 and the distribution screen that the distribution user confirms.

The operations of the user device 12 and the server 13 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11, together with the processing procedure executed by the video application program.
Referring to FIG. 9, a description will be given of the procedure of the display process that is started in response to an instruction to execute a lottery. When the video generation unit 30B receives a lottery request from the user device 12, it outputs a lottery instruction to the lottery execution unit 30D. The lottery execution unit 30D executes a lottery process using the lottery information 32F. Further, the video generation unit 30B displays the lottery object on the video screen in parallel with the lottery process or before and after the lottery process (step S1).

Further, the video generation unit 30B determines whether or not there is an overlap between the collision determination range of the lottery object and the collision determination range of other collision objects (step S2). If there is no overlap in the collision determination ranges (step S2: NO), the moving image generation unit 30B proceeds to step S4. If the video generation unit 30B determines that there is overlap in the collision determination ranges (step S2: YES), the video generation unit 30B provides the user device 12 with drawing data for rendering an action that causes the lottery object to collide with another collision object. The collision motion is displayed on the display 28 of the user device 12 (step 3), and the process proceeds to step S4.

The video generation unit 30B determines whether the reward display condition is satisfied, that is, whether it is the timing to display the reward (step S4). Specifically, the video generation unit 30B determines whether the elapsed time since the lottery object 130 was displayed on the screen has reached a predetermined time.

When the video generation unit 30B determines that the elapsed time reaches a predetermined time and it is time to display the reward (step S4: YES), the video generation unit 30B transmits the reward selected by lottery to the user device 12, and displays the reward on the display 28. (Step S5). Note that by performing the lottery, predetermined gacha points are given to the user management information 32C associated with the user who made the lottery request.

Referring to FIG. 10, a procedure for selling a reward or a held object when the reward obtained by lottery overlaps with an object included in the holding list information 32D will be described. The distribution management unit 30A receives the sale request and the identification information of the remuneration to be sold from the user device 12 (step S10). The distribution management unit 30A deletes the identification information from the possession list information 32D corresponding to the user (step S11). Furthermore, the distribution management unit 30A adds gacha points associated with the sold object to the gacha points in the user management information 32C of the user who sold the object, thereby providing gacha points (step S12).

As mentioned above, gacha points can be exchanged for gacha tickets. When a gacha ticket is purchased, the identification information of the gacha ticket is stored in the user's gift information 32E. In this way, when one user sells an object obtained through a lottery, the gacha points obtained are exchanged for gacha tickets that can be provided to other users, so interaction between users is encouraged through the lottery event. be converted into

With reference to FIG. 11, a procedure for providing a gacha ticket to a distribution user who is distributing a video during video distribution will be described. The viewing user's user device 12 transmits a request for providing a gacha ticket to the distribution user to the server 13 (step S20). The provision request may include identification information of the distribution user.

When the server 13 receives the request to provide the gacha ticket to the distribution user, it stores the identification information of the gacha ticket in the possession list information 32D of the distribution user (step S22). Further, the server 13 notifies the distribution user's user device 12 that the gacha ticket has been provided (step S23). Specifically, the notification is performed, for example, by displaying the video being distributed in the posted message column.

When the server 13 receives a lottery request using a gacha ticket from the user device 12 of the distribution user, it executes a lottery using the lottery information 32F (step S24). Furthermore, the server 13 notifies the distribution user's user device 12 of the lottery result (step S25). Specifically, a screen displaying the reward is output to the user device 12 of the distribution user. At this time, the server 13 also outputs a screen displaying the reward to the viewing user's user device 12, and notifies the viewing user's user device 12 of the lottery result (step S26).

Next, the effects of this embodiment will be explained.
(1) Since the lottery object 130 is displayed in the virtual space from the start of the lottery until the reward that is the result of the lottery is displayed, the viewing user who watches the video can see the avatar object 111 corresponding to the lottery object 130. It is possible to continue interacting with the distribution user in the virtual space. Therefore, interaction between video distribution users and viewing users can be promoted. Furthermore, since the lottery object 130 is displayed as one of the objects in the virtual space that collides with the collision object, even if a lottery event suddenly takes place during video distribution, the world view of the video can be suitably maintained. I can do it. As a result, it is possible to increase the number of users viewing the video, the viewing time, and the number of times the video is viewed.

(2) Since the lottery object 130 is displayed as one of the objects in the virtual space that collides with the avatar object 111, the worldview of the video can be suitably maintained.

(3) Since the lottery object 130 is displayed as one of the objects in the virtual space that collides with the gift object 132, the worldview of the video can be suitably maintained.

(4) Since the lottery object 130 is displayed with different physical behavior from other objects, such as having different falling speeds, it can attract the attention of viewing users compared to other physical behavior objects. .

(5) When the reward display condition is met, the lottery object 130 opens and draws the lottery object 130 in a different display mode than before the reward display condition was met, which attracts the attention of the viewing user. is possible.

(6) If the reward obtained from the lottery contains duplicate objects owned by the distribution user, it can be exchanged for media such as gacha points that can be used within the video application program, so the user's satisfaction level with the lottery can be improved. can be increased. As a result, it is possible to increase the number of users viewing the video, the viewing time, and the number of times the video is viewed.

The above embodiment can be modified and implemented as follows. The above embodiment and the following modification examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically consistent range.
- In the above embodiment, the attachment objects are attached to the avatar object in the order in which they are provided or in some other order. Alternatively, a wearable object selected by the distribution user from among the provided wearable objects may be attached to (associated with) the avatar object.

- In the embodiment described above, the held objects included in the held list information 32D can be displayed in the video distributed by the user. Alternatively, objects associated with a user may be made available for use in videos distributed by the user and videos distributed by other users, regardless of whether they are owned objects or gift objects. For example, it may be possible to request that a held object be displayed as a gift object in a video distributed by another distribution user.

- In the above embodiment, the possession list display button 114 for displaying the possession objects included in the possession list information 32D is displayed on the video screen 110, but distribution is started by operating the distribution switching button 113. In this case, the possession list display button 114 may be omitted.

- In the above embodiment, the distribution user gave the lottery instruction. Alternatively or in addition to this, the viewing user may use the user device 12 to give a lottery instruction to the video being viewed. In this case, the gacha ticket may be deleted from the possession list information 32D or gift information 32E of the viewing user who gives the lottery instruction, or the gacha points necessary for the lottery may be subtracted by the number of points necessary for the lottery.

- In the above embodiment, the lottery object 130 is displayed on the video screen based on the user's instructions. Alternatively or in addition to this, the lottery object 130 may be displayed on the video screen based on a request from the distribution management section 30A of the server 13 or the like. For example, the distribution management unit 30A may display the lottery object 130 on the video screen when the viewing status of the video satisfies a predetermined condition. The lottery object 130 may be displayed when the distribution management unit 30A determines that the number of viewers and the number of viewing times reach a predetermined number, and the total viewing time reaches a predetermined time.

- In the above embodiment, the lottery is started by operating the lottery start button 115 on the video screen. Alternatively or in addition to this, the start of the lottery may be instructed by selecting a gacha ticket from the possession list displayed by selecting the possession list display button 114 shown in FIG. 4(a). .

- In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the lottery is executed during video distribution, but the lottery may be executed during the preparation stage when the video is not distributed. Even in this case, the reward obtained as a result of the lottery can be used in the video, so it is possible to distribute a video that is easy to interact with viewing users.

- In the above embodiment, it is determined that the reward display condition is satisfied when the elapsed time since the lottery object 130 appears reaches a predetermined time, and the lottery object 130 is displayed in the second display mode, and the reward is displayed. Now displayed. Instead, the lottery object 130 may be displayed in the second display mode when a predetermined event occurs in the virtual space. For example, in a virtual space, a transparent table that is not displayed on the screen is installed at the bottom of the screen, and this table is used as a collision object. Then, when the lottery object 130 collides with the table, the lottery object 130 may be displayed in the second display mode. Alternatively, when the avatar object performs a predetermined action (such as opening a capsule, blinking, or other action) based on the action of the distribution user, the lottery object 130 is displayed in the second display form. It's okay. At this time, a motion sensor that detects the motion of the distribution user may be attached to the distribution user, and a predetermined motion of the distribution user may be detected by a detection device that detects the position and direction of the motion sensor. Alternatively, if the motion data generation section 20B of the user device 12 is capable of detecting the distribution user's motion based on the detection data of the sensor unit 24, the motion data generation section 20B is configured to detect a predetermined motion of the distribution user. It's okay.

- In the above embodiment, when the reward display conditions are met, a window containing an image of the reward selected by lottery is displayed (FIG. 6(b)). Alternatively or additionally, if the reward is a wearable object, the avatar object may automatically wear the wearable object. In this case, the attached object may be displayed in a way that makes it stand out, such as by displaying light particles around the automatically attached attached object. Further, the wearing object may remain attached to the avatar object for a predetermined period of time, and then be deleted. Furthermore, if the delivery user operates a determination button or the like to continue wearing the wearable object before it is deleted, the avatar object may be made to wear the wearable object as is.

- In the above embodiment, the lottery object 130 is moved from the top of the screen to the bottom, but it can also be moved from the back of the screen to the front or vice versa, or from the left side of the screen to the right side of the screen, or vice versa. You may move it to

- In the above embodiment, when a lottery is executed, a lottery object 130 imitating a capsule is displayed, and this lottery object 130 opens to display the reward as its contents. Instead or in addition to this, the reward object itself may be displayed in a way that simulates physical behavior, such as by causing it to fall within the video. Further, as the lottery object 130, instead of a capsule, a box such as a treasure chest, a bag, or other contents may be displayed.

- In the above embodiment, the speed at which the lottery object 130 falls is smaller than the speed at which other physical behavior objects fall. Alternatively or in addition to this, the trajectory on which the lottery object 130 moves may be made different from the trajectory on which other physical behavior objects move. Furthermore, the moving direction of the lottery object 130 may be made different from the moving directions of other physical behavior objects. Alternatively, the physical behavior of the lottery object 130 and the physical behavior of other physical behavior objects may be the same.

- In the above embodiment, the distribution user is able to execute the lottery using the gacha ticket provided by the viewing user, but the right to execute the lottery is not necessarily provided to the distribution user in the form of a gacha ticket. It's okay. For example, viewing users may provide gacha points to distribution users.

- In the above embodiment, gacha points are given to the user when the reward obtained by executing the lottery is sold and when the lottery is executed. It may be only at the time.

- In the above embodiment, gacha tickets are exchanged for gacha points. Alternatively, when the reward is sold, a gacha ticket may be given to the user who sold the reward. Alternatively, the gacha ticket may be exchangeable for media other than gacha points, such as coins.

- In the above embodiment, the gacha ticket that the user exchanged for gacha points is stored in the gift information 32E, and is used only for providing to the distribution user. Alternatively, the gacha ticket may be stored in the holding list information 32D so that the gacha ticket can be used in videos distributed by the user himself.

- In the above embodiment, when the reward overlaps with an object included in the possession list information 32D of the distribution user, it is possible to exchange the reward or the already held object with gacha points. Alternatively or in addition to this, even if the held object and the reward do not overlap, the reward or the already held object may be exchangeable for another object or medium. Alternatively, the distribution user may provide a reward or an object already held to any of the viewing users. In this case, the server 13 receives the provision request and the identification information of the viewing user who is the provision destination from the user device 12 used by the distribution user. The server 13 stores the identification information of the provided remuneration in the list information 32D owned by the viewing user to which the remuneration is provided.

- In the above embodiment, objects that are rewards or objects that are already held can be exchanged with gacha points. In addition to objects, the reward may include media such as coins or gacha points. This medium may then be replaced with another medium.

- In the above embodiment, the server 13 performs the collision display process of collision objects (FIG. 9) and the reward sale process (FIG. 10). Alternatively, the user device 12 may perform at least one of these processes. If the data necessary for these processes is stored in the storage 32 of the server 13, the user device 12 requests the server 13 for the data or requests the server 13 to write the data. Alternatively, the same data may be stored in the user device 12 and the server 13, and the respective data may be synchronized at a predetermined timing.

- In the above embodiment, the user device 12 transmits the avatar object on which the motion is reflected to the server 13. Alternatively, the data detected by the sensor unit 24 may be transmitted to the server 13, and the server 13 may apply the detected data to the avatar data 22B stored in the storage 32. That is, the avatar data 22B may be stored in the storage 22 of the user device 12 as in the above embodiment, or may be stored in the storage 32 of the server 13. When the avatar data 22B is stored in the server 13, the user device 12 may download the avatar data 22B at a predetermined timing such as when starting the distribution mode, or the user device 12 may download the detected data to the server 13. The server 13 may apply the detected data to the avatar data 22B, and transmit the avatar data 22B to which the detected data has been applied to the user device 12.

- In the above embodiment, it is assumed that the user device 12 is installed with a video application program for viewing and distributing videos. Alternatively, the application program for viewing videos and the application program for distributing videos may be separate application programs. A user who only views videos installs a viewing application program on the user device 12. A user who only distributes videos installs an application program for distribution on the user device 12. A user who both views and distributes videos installs both application programs on the user device 12.

- Various information such as asset data 32B, user management information 32C, possession list information 32D, gift information 32E, and lottery information 32F stored in the storage 32 of the server 13 can also be stored in the storage 22 of the user device 12. be.

- The computer processor 30 of the server 13 may be responsible for at least part of the functions of the application management section 20A, motion data generation section 20B, and display control section 20C of the user device 12.

- The motion data generation unit 20B acquires detection data from the sensor unit 24 that detects a change in the user's facial expression, a movement of the head, and a relative position of the user with respect to the sensor unit 24. It's okay. In addition to or instead of at least one of a change in the user's facial expression, a movement of the head, and a relative position of the user, the motion data generation unit 20B generates detection data that detects movements other than head movements. Other detection data may be acquired and applied to the avatar data 22B.

- The virtual space displayed in the video may be an augmented reality (AR) or mixed reality (MR) space. For example, the background of the virtual space is a moving image of the real world captured by the camera of the user device 12, and the image of the avatar object may be combined with this moving image.

- In the above embodiment, the user device 12 is an information processing device such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, a console game machine, a wearable computer such as a head-mounted display, or the like.
