<Overview of the system according to this embodiment>
The communication system shown in FIG. 1 (hereinafter referred to as information processing system S) is a communication system including an information processing apparatus (hereinafter referred to as server 10) according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The information processing system S is a computer system that handles all operations related to the implementation of the competition, and is used by participants (hereinafter referred to as players) such as individuals or teams participating in the competition, and by those who participate in the competition as players. Competitions and other competition-related services are provided to viewers who watch (spectate) players' plays without participating. Specifically, we provide players with an environment in which to play the competition, and provide viewers with videos of the players playing the competition (play videos). , provides an environment etc. for viewing the play video. Note that the distributed play video is not limited to live distribution such as live broadcasting, but also includes distribution of recorded video on demand.

A competition is a game, such as a computer game or a sport, in which players compete for superiority or inferiority in skill or ability according to certain rules. Competitions include tournaments in which one or more matches are organized, and when multiple matches are organized, the method for determining the winner or ranking is the tournament method (eliminating competition) or the league method. (round-robin), a combination of a tournament system and a league system, a system derived from these, or any other system. Further, the competition may consist of a final round and a qualifying round (qualifying round) for selecting contestants for the final round. Moreover, when a plurality of matches are organized and held, it is not limited to the case where a plurality of matches of one type of competition are held, but a plurality of competitions of different events may be combined.

In this embodiment, an e-sports (electronic sports) tournament (hereinafter referred to as a competition), which is a competitive game in which players compete to win or lose in a computer game, will be described as one example of many competitions.
Note that the game genre of e-sports is not particularly limited, and may be any game genre. For example, it may be a fighting game, a sports game, a shooting game, a racing game, a puzzle game, a word game, a card game, a board game, a role-playing game, a simulation game, or the like. Further, e-sports may be an individual competition or a team competition. Furthermore, it may be a game in which humans play against each other as players, or a game in which humans and a computer (eg, AI or robot) compete against each other.

The e-sports of this embodiment is an online game provided using the information processing system S. Specifically, when a player such as a professional gamer performs an operation (play operation) to play e-sports, which is a competition, on the player terminal 11, the player terminal 11 receives a distribution from a server computer (hereinafter referred to as the server 10). Receive data regarding the progress of the competition being played. The player terminal 11 outputs video and audio according to the received data, and the player proceeds with the competition while checking the output video and audio. Further, the player terminal 11 transmits data indicating the contents of the player's operations such as play operations to the server 10, and the server 10 transmits data corresponding to the contents of the operations to the player terminal 11. Such data transmission and reception between the server 10 and the player terminal 11 is repeatedly performed until the game played by the player ends.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, the viewer who is the user of the information processing system S is in a different position from the player, and can participate in the competition like the player and actually play the competition. Instead, the explanation will be made assuming that the user watches the game by watching the play video on the viewer terminal 12. Note that the viewer may also serve as a player who participates in the tournament and competes. Specifically, the viewer terminal 12 receives data regarding the progress of the competition distributed from the server 10. The viewer terminal 12 outputs video and audio according to the received data, and the viewer views the output video and audio.

Moreover, the viewer can not only simply view the distributed play video, but also perform various predetermined operations at any timing during the distribution of the play video. Specifically, the viewer terminal 12 transmits data indicating the content of various predetermined operations performed by the viewer to the server 10, and the server 10 transmits data corresponding to the content of the operation to the viewer terminal 12. Send to. Such data transmission and reception between the server 10 and the viewer terminal 12 is repeatedly performed while the viewer views the play video.

The predetermined operation is an operation that the viewer can perform at any timing during distribution of the play video, and is an operation that affects the number of digital contents to be provided, which will be described later. In addition, when performing a predetermined operation, you may specify the player who is the target of the predetermined operation, or you may specify a player for the play video or one scene of the play video (hereinafter referred to as a scene) without specifying the player. You may also perform a predetermined operation.

Predetermined operations include, for example, operations for simply viewing the play video, such as operations for accessing the play video being distributed, as well as operations such as liking, commenting, stamps, or voice (cheering) for the player who is playing. This includes operations such as sending support, donating or presenting a predetermined value such as money to a player who is playing, and voting in anticipation of the player's victory. In addition, voting involves betting a predetermined value such as money and receiving a dividend if the designated player wins, and voting by simply predicting the winner without betting a predetermined value such as money. (Including cases where dividends are not obtained).

The predetermined operations include a first operation that can be executed by consuming a predetermined value, and a second operation that can be executed without consuming a predetermined value. For example, when donating by providing a predetermined value such as money or predetermined game media to a player, or when voting for a player by betting a predetermined value such as money or predetermined game media, etc., the first operation is Become. Further, when sending a comment or the like, a comment or the like that requires consuming a predetermined value is the first operation, and a comment or the like that is possible without consuming the predetermined value is the second operation. Note that, instead of requiring the second operation to consume a predetermined value, a limit may be set on the number of times the second operation is performed. That is, when the number of times the viewer performs the second operation in a predetermined period reaches the upper limit number of times determined for the viewer, the second operation may be limited in the predetermined period. Alternatively, the first operation may be enabled by consuming a first value (an example of a predetermined value), and the second operation may be enabled by consuming a second value different from the first value. As an example, the first value may be paid media and the second value may be free media.

Furthermore, the first operation and the second operation have different degrees of influence when determining the number of digital contents to be provided, which will be described later. In other words, in the case of the first operation that requires consuming a predetermined value, it has a larger effect on the change in the number of digital contents provided than the second operation that does not require consuming a predetermined value, and the number of provided digital contents increases. The rate of change in becomes relatively large.

In addition to money, the value that can be consumed as the predetermined value includes, for example, game media such as dedicated currency and game items that can be used in games being played in competitions or other games. Game media includes paid game media that requires payment or other actions to be purchased in order to obtain the game media, and free game media that can be obtained through login bonuses etc. without the need for payment. .
Further, the type and amount of the predetermined value (amount in the case of money) to be consumed when performing the first operation may be determined by the viewer's selection, or may be determined automatically or automatically regardless of the viewer's intention. It may be determined randomly. Further, the type and amount of predetermined value that can be consumed for each competition or game or for each player may be set in advance. For example, for a player who is a high-ranked winning candidate, a player who has advanced to the finals and is close to winning, a player who is popular, etc., the predetermined amount of value required when performing the first operation is relative. It may be set to a relatively high value. Furthermore, the type and amount of the predetermined value may vary depending on the timing at which the viewer performs a predetermined operation. For example, the amount of value required to perform the first operation is set relatively low during a period immediately after the tournament starts, such as before the start of the tournament, during qualifying rounds, or during the first round. In a final match or a match between winning candidates, the predetermined amount of value required to perform the first operation may be set relatively high.
Note that, in the following description, unless otherwise specified, money will be used as an example of the predetermined value.

The predetermined operation is performed on the play video viewing screen G1 as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the play video viewing screen G1 is a screen on which the viewer performs predetermined operations such as those exemplified above while viewing the play video, and includes a play video display area 41 and various predetermined operations. Operation buttons 42 are displayed. A play video is being played in the play video display area 41. The predetermined operation button 42 displays buttons that accept predetermined operations that can be selected by the viewer, such as likes, comments, presents, and votes. When the viewer taps any predetermined operation button 42 on the play video viewing screen G1, the viewer is transferred to a comment input screen (not shown) or an amount input screen (not shown), etc., and the viewer can view the play video. Predetermined operations can be performed on the scene or on the player during play.
Note that regarding comments, in the case of comments (normal comments) in which a message is sent without consuming a predetermined value, the second operation is performed. On the other hand, comments that viewers make by consuming a certain amount of value to make their comments stand out (super comments), and comments that use stamps, emojis, etc. obtained by consuming a certain amount of value even if they are normal comments. , a present that provides a predetermined value to the player, a vote that bets a predetermined value, etc. are the first operations.

Furthermore, the viewer can also perform a designation operation to designate any player from among the plurality of players. Note that the designation operation may partially overlap with the predetermined operation.

The designated operation is to participate in a competition or match before the end of the match in which the player participates, specifically, before the start of the competition or each match (match in which the player participates), or during the execution of the competition or each match. This is an operation performed by the viewer to select one or more players from among a plurality of players. In addition to the player to support, the players specified by the viewer include the player who will be the winner of the match (the player who will predict the outcome and vote, etc.), and the player who will be the target of the second operation (the player who will receive the gift). This includes the destination player), etc. Note that viewers who perform specification operations may include users other than viewers, such as users who only specify who to cheer for or predict the outcome before the match starts, but do not actually watch all or part of the play video. good.

The designation operation is performed, for example, on a player designation screen G2 as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the player specification screen G2 is a screen where the viewer arbitrarily selects a player, and identifies a plurality of players (for example, players A to C, etc.) participating in the competition or match. Information for this purpose is displayed in a list. The player designation screen G2 displays information that allows each player to be identified, such as a player's name (or team name) and an image such as an icon. The viewer can designate a player by tapping or checking the designation box 43 corresponding to an arbitrary player on the player designation screen G2, and then by tapping the determination button 44 or the like. Note that if a player is specified here, the specified player will be automatically set as the destination when performing a second operation such as giving a present.

Further, the designation operation can also be performed on a present designation screen G3 as shown in FIG. 4, for example.
As shown in FIG. 4, the present designation screen G3 is a screen where the viewer arbitrarily selects the player to whom the present will be sent, and is a screen where the viewer arbitrarily selects a player to whom the present will be sent, and where there are multiple players (for example, players A to C, etc.) to which the present will be sent.・) Information for identifying the items is displayed in a list. The present specification screen G3 displays information that allows each player to be identified, such as images such as icons indicating the players. The viewer can designate a player by tapping or checking the designation box 45 corresponding to an arbitrary player on the present designation screen G3, and then by tapping the determination button 46 or the like. When the player to whom the present is to be given is determined, the screen changes to a present content selection screen (not shown), for example, a screen for inputting the amount of money to be donated to the player.

In this embodiment, the number of digital contents to be provided is set based on the above-mentioned predetermined operation.
Digital content is unique data that cannot be replaced as digital assets, and includes digital videos that include predetermined scenes of play videos, for example, videos that include at least part of a competition that the owner can view at any time. (including highlight videos, etc.). An example of digital content is a non-fungible token managed as data on a known blockchain, that is, a non-fungible token called NFT.
The digital content of this embodiment, like NFT, has a unique identifier (identification ID) to enable differentiation from other digital content, and has unique value that distinguishes it from other digital content. . Furthermore, like NFT, digital content can also be traded on a blockchain, and the transaction history of digital content can be recorded using distributed ledger technology such as blockchain. Furthermore, the owner and ownership history of digital content are also recorded using distributed ledger technology such as blockchain.

In this embodiment, digital content is generated in a form corresponding to each scene included in the play video. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the scene is set based on a specific event such as a successful attack. For example, when event a occurs, a predetermined period (for example, 5 seconds before and after) including the time point at which event a occurs is set as scene a corresponding to event a. Similarly, for example, when event b occurs, 5 seconds before and after the time of occurrence of event b are set as scene b corresponding to event b.

As described above, since the digital content of this embodiment is non-substitutable data, the rarity of the digital content is determined by the number of provided digital content. The number of digital contents to be provided is determined based on the number and content of predetermined operations received from viewers for the corresponding scene, or the number of viewers for the corresponding scene. That is, the number of digital contents to be provided is determined based on the viewer's reaction to the scene corresponding to the digital content. For example, for scenes in which a large number of predetermined operations are performed, scenes in which the first predetermined operation is performed particularly frequently, or scenes with a large number of viewers, the reaction from the viewers is favorable and the evaluation from the viewers is high. It is determined that the scene is high, and in order to increase the rarity of digital content corresponding to that scene, the number of digital content to be provided is set to be small.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, when a specific game event occurs, a predetermined period including the game event is set as a scene corresponding to the game event, and The number of digital contents to be provided corresponding to the scene is determined for a predetermined period (for example, 5 seconds before and after) including the event, that is, a period before and after the event where there is a high probability that the audience will be excited by the anticipation of the event or the afterglow after the event. Set as a judgment period for For example, the number of predetermined operations accepted in the determination period a (period including event a and scene a) related to scene a (corresponding to the first scene) corresponding to event a is higher than the number of predetermined operations accepted in the scene corresponding to event b. If the number of predetermined operations accepted during determination period b (period including event b and scene b) related to scene b (corresponding to the second scene) is greater than the number of predetermined operations accepted, digital content a corresponding to scene a is the scene It is determined that the response from viewers is better and the evaluation is higher (more popular) than digital content b corresponding to digital content b, and the number of provision of digital content a is set to be smaller than the number of provision of digital content b. Increase the rarity (value) of Note that if the determination periods overlap, it may be counted as a predetermined operation for both scenes, or it may be counted as a predetermined operation for either scene (for example, the scene corresponding to the event that occurred first).

Furthermore, if the content of the predetermined operation received in determination period a is the first operation and the content of the predetermined operation received in determination period b is the second operation, digital content a corresponding to scene a is better than scene b. It is determined that the response from viewers is better and the evaluation is higher than digital content b corresponding to digital content b, and the number of digital content a to be provided is set to be smaller than the number of digital content b to be provided to increase the rarity of digital content a. In addition, even if the first operation is the same, if the amount consumed in the first operation accepted in determination period a is higher than the amount consumed in the first operation accepted in determination period b, the situation It is determined that digital content a corresponding to scene a has a better response from viewers and is evaluated higher than digital content b corresponding to scene b, and the number of digital content a provided is less than the number of digital content b provided. setting to increase the rarity of digital content a.

When the game ends and the distribution of the play video ends, a digital content display screen G4 as shown in FIG. 6, for example, is displayed on the viewer terminal 12 of the viewer who performed a predetermined operation during the distribution of the play video. be done.
As shown in FIG. 6, the digital content display screen G4 is a screen where the viewer arbitrarily selects digital content to purchase, and includes a list of information for identifying digital content related to the play video that has been distributed. is displayed. Specifically, in the digital content display area 47 of the digital content display screen G4, information indicating the time zone of the match and the corresponding scene (for example, X match 02:10 to 02:15), each The title of the digital content (for example, 〇〇 defeat scene), the price, and the number to be provided as determined above are displayed. Then, the viewer specifies and purchases the digital content by tapping or checking the designation box 48 corresponding to any digital content on the digital content display screen G4 and then tapping the determination button 49. can do.

In addition, on the digital content display screen G4, digital content corresponding to a scene in which the viewer has not performed a predetermined operation is grayed out, etc., and digital content corresponding to a scene in which the viewer has performed a predetermined operation is The digital content corresponding to the scene where no operation is performed is displayed in a distinguishable manner. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the viewer cannot select digital content corresponding to a scene in which the viewer has not performed a predetermined operation, that is, digital content that is grayed out. However, it may be possible to purchase digital content that is grayed out, or for digital content that is grayed out, the price may be set higher than that of viewers who have performed a certain operation, or other conditions may be disadvantageous compared to other viewers. It may be available for purchase at.

In addition, in this embodiment, a viewer (target person) selected based on a predetermined criterion such as a lottery or a first-come-first-served basis from among viewers who have performed a predetermined operation on a scene is provided with a service corresponding to the scene. Provide digital content. That is, viewers who can receive the digital content are selected by lottery, or viewers who receive a predetermined operation for a scene corresponding to the digital content are selected in a predetermined order (for example, the first 10 viewers). I do things. Further, it is preferable that the number of digital contents to be provided to the provision target is a part of the set number of provision.For example, if the number of digital contents to be provided is 1000, 10 of them are provided to the provision target. The remaining 990 pieces will be sold to viewers via the digital content display screen G4 as usual.

Furthermore, among the viewers who performed the first operation, the first viewer who specified the first amount (for example, 1000 yen) and performed the predetermined operation will receive a second amount less than the first amount. Digital content corresponding to the scene may be provided preferentially to a second viewer who specifies an amount (for example, 200 yen) and performs a predetermined operation.
Specifically, in addition to cases in which digital content is given preferentially to the first viewer and not to the second viewer, digital content that is generally rare and valuable and has a young serial number, such as the first The digital content given the identifier is given preferentially to the first viewer. That is, it may be possible to provide digital content with a small serial number to the first viewer, and to provide digital content with a large serial number to the second viewer. Further, the first viewer may be given priority to win in a lottery. Note that the number of digital contents to be provided may be set to be greater than the number of viewers who have performed the first operation, so that all the viewers who have performed the first operation can always obtain the digital content. In addition, the number of digital content to be provided is set to be greater than the number of viewers who performed the first operation for a predetermined amount or more (for example, 2,000 yen or more), and all viewers who performed the first operation for a predetermined amount or more are guaranteed to receive the same amount. Digital content may also be available.

In addition, if the number of predetermined operations accepted in the corresponding scene, the amount of money, etc. is greater than the threshold, the rarity of the digital content increases, so for the sake of reward, the winner of the competition or the winner of the competition can be specified in the specified operation. The digital content can be provided to the viewers who have made a correct prediction (or the audience whose support target has won) on a priority basis, such as by providing the digital content or setting advantageous conditions in the lottery. You can also use it as Note that in this case as well, it is preferable that the number of digital contents provided to the winner of the competition or the viewer (provider target) who specifies the winner of the competition is a part of the set number of contents to be provided.

Obtain by communicating. The information acquired by the information acquisition unit 31 includes, for example, information based on the play operation performed by the player, the purchase operation of digital content, etc., and information based on the play operation performed by the player, the purchase operation of digital content, etc. ), information based on specified operations, digital content purchase operations, etc. In particular, the information acquisition unit 31 controls the ability to accept a predetermined operation from the viewer during video distribution in a predetermined period, and selects a first operation that can be performed by consuming a predetermined value, and a first operation that can be performed by consuming a predetermined value. and a second operation that can be executed without any interruption from the viewer.
In addition to the above-mentioned information, the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 31 includes various selections, specifications, instructions, requests, commands, permissions or refusals made by players or viewers during and before and after the competition. Contains information based on registration and other input operations.

(Display control section)
The display control unit 32 controls the player terminal 11 or the viewer terminal 12 to display various information necessary for the progress of the competition and the provision of digital content on the screen of the player terminal 11 or the viewer terminal 12. Specifically, the display control unit 32 generates display data for displaying the results of information processing by the provision control unit 33, competition control unit 34, etc., which will be described later, and transmits the generated display data via the network 14. It is transmitted to the player terminal 11 or the viewer terminal 12.

For example, the display control unit 32 distributes a play video that reflects the results of information processing by the competition control unit 34, and delivers a competition play screen (not shown) to the player terminal 11 and a play video viewing screen G1 to the viewer terminal 12. Display. Further, the player terminal 11 is caused to display a digital content display screen G4, etc., and the viewer terminal 12 is caused to display a player designation screen G2, a present designation screen G3, a digital content display screen G4, etc. In particular, the display control unit 32 displays a digital content display screen for displaying digital content corresponding to a scene including an event that occurs in the play video on the viewer terminal 12 of the viewer of the play video after the distribution of the play video ends. Control G4 so that it can be displayed. Further, the display control unit 32 displays, on the digital content display screen G4, digital content corresponding to a scene in which the viewer has performed a predetermined operation and digital content corresponding to a scene in which the viewer has not performed a predetermined operation, in a distinguishable manner.

(Provision control unit)
The provision control unit 33 determines the number of digital contents to be provided corresponding to a scene included in the play video, based on a predetermined operation received from the viewer for the scene. Furthermore, based on the number of viewers of a scene included in the play video, the provision control unit 33 determines the number of digital contents to be provided corresponding to the scene.
Specifically, points are accumulated for each scene based on the number and content of predetermined operations acquired by the information acquisition unit 31 or the number of viewers, and the digital content corresponding to the scene is accumulated based on the accumulated points. The number of digital contents to be provided is determined, and the determined number of digital contents to be provided is stored in the storage unit 30 in association with each digital content. At this time, for example, the number of digital contents to be provided corresponding to a scene may be set to be smaller if more points are set for the scene than if there are fewer points. Specifically, each time the points calculated based on a predetermined operation reach a predetermined reference value, the number of provided points is reduced from the initial setting value. The number of digital contents to be provided may be reduced by Y percent, or the quotient obtained by dividing a predetermined value set for each scene by the number of points for each scene may be used as the number of digital contents to be provided. In addition, when determining the number of digital contents to be provided, if it is decided to increase or decrease from the initial setting value, the initial setting value may be the same for all digital contents, or the initial setting value may be changed for each digital content. It may be different.

For example, the provision control unit 33 determines that a scene in which a large number of predetermined operations are received is a scene that has a good response from viewers and is highly evaluated, and provides digital content corresponding to that scene. In order to increase the rarity of the digital content, we will set a small number of the same digital content to be provided. In other words, if the number of predetermined operations accepted in the first scene included in the play video is greater than the number of predetermined operations accepted in the second scene also included in the play video, the first scene is The number of provided digital contents is set to be smaller than the number of provided digital contents corresponding to the second scene.
Furthermore, if the content of the received predetermined operation is a first operation performed by consuming a predetermined value, the provision control unit 33 provides more information about the digital content than in the case of a second operation performed without consuming a predetermined value. Increase the degree of influence on the number of digital contents provided, and significantly change the number of digital contents provided. In other words, if the predetermined operation is the first operation that consumes a predetermined value, the viewer's reaction to that scene is better and the viewer's evaluation is higher than in the case of the second operation. In order to increase the rarity of digital content that corresponds to the situation, the number of digital content to be provided is significantly reduced, and as a result, the number of digital content to be provided is set to be small. Also, for example, the first point added to the scene when the first operation is performed on the scene may be set to be larger than the second point added when the second operation is performed on the scene. .
Further, the provision control unit 33 determines the number of digital contents to be provided corresponding to the scene, based on the number of viewers who have performed a predetermined executable operation by consuming paid value for the scene. In other words, the number of viewers who performed a predetermined executable operation by consuming paid value in the first scene is greater than the number of viewers who performed a predetermined executable operation by consuming paid value in the second scene. If the number of viewers is greater than the number of viewers who viewed the first scene, it is determined that the reaction of the viewers to the first scene is good and the evaluation from the viewers is high, and the number of digital contents corresponding to the first scene is provided. may be set to be smaller than the number of digital contents provided corresponding to the second scene.

Furthermore, when the viewer performs a predetermined operation on a predetermined scene of the play video, the provision control unit 33 controls so that digital content corresponding to the predetermined scene can be provided to the viewer. At this time, the digital content corresponding to the predetermined scene is controlled to be provided to the viewer who has performed the first operation for the predetermined scene with priority over the viewer who has performed the second operation. In addition, among the viewers who performed the first operation for the predetermined scene, the first viewer who performed the predetermined operation by specifying the first amount will receive a second amount less than the first amount. Control is performed so that digital content corresponding to a predetermined scene can be provided preferentially to a second viewer who specifies an amount and performs a predetermined operation.
In addition, the provision control unit 33 provides digital content corresponding to the predetermined scene to viewers selected based on a predetermined criterion such as lottery or first-come-first-served basis from among the viewers who have performed a predetermined operation on the predetermined scene. I will provide a. Specifically, the digital content is provided to the viewer by storing the digital content in the storage unit 30 in association with the viewer selected as the provision target and updating the viewer information. Note that the number of viewers selected at this time may be less than or equal to the determined number of provided digital contents (for example, 1/100).
Further, for digital content corresponding to a scene where the number of predetermined operations is greater than or equal to the threshold, the provision control unit 33 sets the number of digital contents to be provided to be smaller than that for a scene where the number of predetermined operations is greater than the threshold. , the winner (player) of the competition, or at least one viewer who has designated the winner of the competition may be provided with digital content corresponding to a scene equal to or higher than the threshold value. Specifically, the provision control unit 33 stores the digital content in the storage unit 30 in association with the player or viewer selected as the provision target, and updates the player information or the viewer information so that the player or the viewer provide digital content to users. Note that the number of players or viewers selected at this time is less than or equal to the determined number of provided digital contents (for example, 1/100).

(Competition Control Department)
The competition control section 34 executes information processing necessary for the progress of a competition such as e-sports, and advances the competition according to various information acquired by the information acquisition section 31. Specifically, the competition control unit 34 starts the match and performs effects such as moving game media such as characters in accordance with the operations performed by the players during the match. In addition, the settings of parameters of the game medium are changed depending on the progress of the match and the like. For example, if the content of the competition is a fighting game, the information acquisition unit 31 controls the character to move or attack other characters based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 31. When an attack by a character hits another character, parameters such as physical strength associated with the other character are reduced based on parameters such as the character's attack power and the other character's defense power.
