The video reproduction process S22 is a process of reproducing the video specified in the video specifying process S21. The video reproduced by the processor 10 is displayed on the display 14 of the information processing device 1 along with comments associated with the video. Instead of displaying the video identified in the video specifying process S21 on the display 14, a text obtained by converting the audio corresponding to the video into text may be displayed on the display 14. Note that in the video playback process S22, the user can input a new comment for the video being played. The processor 10 records the new comment input by the user in association with the video being played.

(Specific example of screen displayed during video playback processing)
A specific example of the screen displayed on the display 14 in the video playback process S22 will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

Screens 70 and 70A shown in FIG. 7 are examples of screens displayed on the display 14 in the video playback process S22. The screen 70 includes a video 71 being played and a comment 72 associated with the video 71. The screen 70 also includes a button 73 for adding a new comment. When this button 73 is tapped, the screen displayed on the display 14 changes from the screen 70 to the screen 70A. The screen 70A includes a video 71 being played, a comment 72 associated with the video 71, and an input field 74 for adding a new comment. Here, the user is shown inputting a comment such as "I had time this time!". The new comment input into the input field 74 is recorded in the storage 12 in association with the video 71 being played back.

(Modification 1)
Note that although this embodiment has described a configuration (video diary) in which a video representing the user's face is recorded in the storage together with audio representing the user's voice as a diary entry, the present invention is not limited to this. Not done. For example, a configuration (voice diary) may be adopted in which only audio representing the user's voice is recorded in the storage as a diary entry. In this case, the image displayed on the display while the audio is being recorded may be an image representing the partner's avatar, or a moving or still image indicating that the audio is being recorded (for example, a moving image of the audio waveform or (a still image).

(Modification 2)
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the configuration has been mainly described in which questions created by the service provider and selected by the video diary application are output when recording the video of the user of the video diary application. , but not limited to. For example, when recording a video of a user of a video diary application, a configuration may be adopted in which questions created or selected by a user other than the user of the video diary application are output. The above-mentioned "questionnaire diary" is an example of such a structure. Examples of other users include companies that wish to conduct questionnaire surveys and companies that undertake questionnaire surveys. In this case, when recording the user's video of the video diary application, the survey questions created or selected by the company will be output. The footage recorded in this way can be of high value to the companies that created or selected the questions. Therefore, the information processing device 1 creates data to be provided to another user (such as a company) who has created or selected a question from the video recorded in this manner. The data provided to other users (companies, etc.) may include data that has been processed to anonymize the user of the video diary app, such as text data obtained by converting the user's voice of the video diary app into text. , video data obtained by applying image processing to the user's video of a video diary application to make faces unrecognizable. In this case, the user of the video diary application may be able to specify the method and degree of anonymization. Service providers receive compensation by providing such data to other users (such as companies). Additionally, users of the video diary app receive compensation such as virtual currency. Users of the video diary application can use this virtual currency to purchase the right to use the optional diary, the right to use the optional audio, the right to use the server disk space, etc. Thereby, it is possible to enhance the services provided to users while suppressing usage fees imposed on users. For example, if the amount of virtual currency provided to users each time they create a questionnaire diary is set to be equal to the amount of server disk space usage rights required to record one day's worth of "daily diary". , the user can continue to create a "daily diary" for free by creating a questionnaire diary every day.
