Upon receiving the selected user ID, the request management server 60 extracts the received user ID by the extraction unit 625 (step S105 in FIG. 10, step S211 in FIG. 11), and is assigned to the program. The telephone number and information indicating that it has been won are transmitted to the voice communication terminal 40 corresponding to the extracted user ID (step S106 in FIG. 10, step S212 in FIG. 11).

When the voice communication terminal 40 receives the telephone number and the notification of winning, the voice communication terminal 40 displays on the screen that the telephone number has been won. When the user who sees this display inputs a call instruction for the displayed telephone number, the voice communication terminal 40 transmits to the designated telephone number. As a result, a voice communication establishment request is transmitted from the voice communication terminal 40 to the voice communication connection device 50 (step S107 in FIG. 10, step S213 in FIG. 11).
The voice communication connection device 50 notifies the request management server 60 of the destination telephone number to the voice communication connection device 50, and inquires whether the destination telephone number is valid (step S108 in FIG. 10, FIG. 10). 11 step S214).

Upon receiving an inquiry as to whether or not the telephone number is valid, the request management server 60 determines whether or not this telephone number is stored in the distribution list storage unit 622 by the validity determination unit 626. Is transmitted to the voice communication connection device 50 (step S109 in FIG. 10). When the voice communication connection device 50 receives the notification that it is valid, the voice communication connection device 50 performs voice communication connection to the telephone number of the voice communication terminal 40 that has transmitted (step S110 in FIG. 10).
Here, the voice communication connection device 50 connects the voice communication terminal 40 and the content server 20 that is the destination of the telephone number, and transmits the voice information from the voice communication terminal 40 to the content server 20 (step S215 in FIG. 11). .

When receiving the audio information from the audio communication terminal 40, the content server 20 synthesizes the audio information with the content and distributes it to each user terminal 30 (step S216 in FIG. 11). As a result, the user can view the audio information together with the content.
The content server 20 also transmits the audio information received from the audio communication terminal 40 to the distributor terminal 10 (step S217 in FIG. 11). Thereby, the distributor of the distributor terminal 10 can hear the voice information as a voice.

  Next, when the distributor who hears the user's voice from the voice communication terminal 40 speaks, the voice is transmitted from the distributor terminal 10 to the content server 20 (step S218 in FIG. 11). Is transmitted to the voice communication connection device 50 (step S219 in FIG. 11), and the voice is transmitted to the voice communication terminal 40 in the voice communication connection device 50 (step S220 in FIG. 11). Thereby, the user of the voice communication terminal 40 can hear the content of the utterance of the distributor with respect to the content uttered by the user, and can talk with the distributor.

  Here, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the content server 20 synthesizes the audio information from the audio communication terminal 40 and the content and transmits it to the user terminal 30 has been described. The audio may be transmitted to the user terminal 30 without the content server 20 combining the content with the content. Such a case will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 12 is a block diagram for explaining the flow of information in the communication system 1 in the second embodiment.
Here, the difference from the first embodiment is that the server 90 is provided in the communication system and the content server 20 does not receive the audio information, but the server 90 transmits the audio information to the distributor terminal 10. is there.
Here, when the voice communication terminal 40 and the voice communication connection device 50 establish communication, the voice information transmitted from the voice communication terminal 40 is transmitted from the voice communication connection device 50 to the server 90 (reference a). . The server 90 transmits this audio information to the distributor terminal 10 (reference symbol b). Thereby, the voice information from the voice communication terminal 40 is transmitted to the distributor terminal 10. This audio information is synthesized with the content at the distributor terminal 10 and distributed to the content server 20. The audio information is delivered from the content server 20 to the user terminal 30 while being synthesized with the content.

FIG. 13 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the communication system 1 according to the third embodiment.
Here, the difference from the first embodiment is that the content server 20 does not synthesize the audio information with the content, but the content server 20 receives the audio information from the audio communication connection device 50 (symbol a). While transmitting to the terminal 10 (code | symbol b), each user terminal 30 is also each delivered (code | symbol c).

  In the embodiment described above, the voice communication connection device 50 is described as being a PBX, but may be other than the PBX as long as it can perform voice communication. For example, a communication server that implements an Internet telephone service that performs voice communication with a computer to which a headset is connected may be used. In this case, the connection destination information is not a telephone number but identification information for identifying the other party.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the comment storage unit 210 is provided in the content server 20 and both the content and the comment are distributed to the user terminal 30 has been described. And a distribution function for distributing comments stored in the comment storage unit 210 to the user terminal 30 may be divided into a server separate from the content server 20 and provided as a comment server.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the user terminal 30 and the voice communication terminal 40 are different devices has been described. However, the user terminal 30 and the voice communication terminal 40 may be provided in the same device. In the case of the same device, for example, any mobile phone having a function for viewing moving image content may be used. At this time, when the user terminal 30 is used as the voice communication terminal 40, the user cannot see the screen provided on the terminal when the user approaches the ear as a mobile phone. However, communication can be achieved from the standpoint of viewing only, such as making a call with the distributor by voice communication, or from a completely different position of participating in the content or having a conversation with the distributor.
Since the voice communication terminal 40 can be used on the go, the user can easily participate in the content on the go, and the voice communication terminal 40 makes a request to the distributor terminal 10. And can participate by voice during content distribution and have a conversation with the distributor.
In this way, even when only the voice communication terminal 40 (mobile phone) is possessed, it is possible to switch the way of enjoying communication and to communicate.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the content generated from the distributor terminal 10 to the content server 20 is distributed in real time has been described. However, the content distributed to the content server 20 is generated in real time. It is not limited. For example, a distributor terminal that stores contents in advance in a storage device such as a database may be provided, and the stored contents may be distributed from the distributor terminal to the content server 20 as the program progresses. In this case, the distributor makes a voice call with the voice communication terminal 40 in real time using the microphone and speaker of the distributor terminal. For example, the content stored in advance is distributed from the distributor terminal to each user terminal 30 via the content server 20. Then, the distributor and the user of the voice communication terminal 40 have a conversation using a voice call while watching the distributed content, and distribute the conversation to each user terminal 30. As an example, while delivering a digest of a baseball game as contents, the distributor and the user of the voice communication terminal 40 have a conversation about the contents of the game, and the conversation is distributed to each user terminal 30. In this case, it is only necessary for the distributor to be able to perform voice communication while distributing the stored content. Therefore, a terminal that can perform voice communication is carried by the distributor, and a location different from the distributor terminal. In this case, the user of the voice communication terminal 40 may have a conversation. As a result, even a distributor such as a talent who is away from a place such as a studio where the distributor terminal is provided can participate in the program from a remote location as long as he / she carries the voice communication terminal.

  In addition, when content generated in real time is distributed, content stored in advance may be distributed for a part of the program. For example, for the opening and ending of the program, the content generated in real time may be distributed, and for other cases, for example, the content stored in advance may be distributed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the request management server 60 extracts the user who has made the request from the distributor terminal 10 by transmitting the user ID to the request management server 60 in step S210 in FIG. Although the case where it performs is demonstrated, as above-mentioned, you may make it extract using attribute information.
For example, instead of specifying a user ID in step S210 in FIG. 11, the distributor terminal 10 transmits one or more pieces of attribute information specified by the distributor to the request management server 60. Here, for example, when attribute information whose location is Tokyo and the membership type is premium is designated by the distributor, this attribute information is transmitted to the request management server 60, and the user of the attribute information matching this attribute information is extracted. Extracted by the unit 121. Here, the distributor may specify whether to extract a user corresponding to both of the two items or to extract a user corresponding to one of the two items, and the extraction unit 121 may extract the user accordingly. .

In the above-described embodiment, the case has been described where attribute information is used when determining a user who is a call partner of a distributor. However, it may be used when determining a user terminal 30 to which content is to be distributed. Good. For example, instead of designating the user ID in step S210 in FIG. 11, the distributor terminal 10 designates attribute information for specifying the content distribution target and transmits it to the request management server 60, and also to the content server 20 Send. Here, for example, when attribute information whose location is Tokyo and member type is premium is designated by the distributor, this attribute information is transmitted to the request management server 60 and also to the content server 20. Upon receiving this attribute information, when the content server 20 receives a content distribution request from the user terminal 30, the content server 20 accesses the request management server 60 for attribute information corresponding to the user ID of the user terminal 30 transmitted together with this request. It is determined whether or not it matches the attribute information transmitted from the distributor terminal 10. Then, content distribution is performed to the user terminal 30 having the same attribute information.
For example, only premium member users can be distributed so that premium member-only content can be viewed, or only baseball player interview content can be distributed only to users who are participating in the baseball participating community. Can be.

  In the embodiment described above, the items that can be used as the attribute information are not limited to the items shown in FIG. 8, but only the user extracted by the extraction unit 121 may be used as the attribute information. A correct person who correctly answers a quiz in a certain content may be used as attribute information. Accordingly, the content server 2 can distribute the content to the user terminal corresponding to the attribute information that is the distribution target of the content, based on the attribute information stored in the request management server 60. Therefore, content that can be viewed can be divided according to attributes, and limited content that can be viewed only by users who satisfy certain conditions can be distributed.

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which a winner is determined in consideration of priority among users who have made requests.
FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the configuration of the request management server 60 in this embodiment. In this figure, the same reference numerals are given to the portions corresponding to the respective portions in FIG. Hereinafter, functions different from the above-described embodiment will be described.

The request list storage unit 614 stores user identification information for identifying a user who uses the voice communication terminal 40 and a priority indicating a degree of extraction in association with each other. The user identification information here is information for individually identifying a user, for example, the user ID or the telephone number of the voice communication terminal 40 described above.
Further, the request list storage unit 614 newly stores user identification information transmitted from the voice communication terminal 40 every time the request reception unit 611 receives a voice communication request transmitted from the voice communication request unit 431.

The extraction unit 625 extracts the voice call terminal to be connected by extracting the user identification information according to the priority stored in the request list storage unit 614.
The list management unit 613 is stored in the request list storage unit 614 when an instruction transmitted from at least one of the user terminal 30 and the voice communication terminal 40 is received or when extraction is performed by the extraction unit 625. Update priorities.
When the list management unit 613 receives a voice communication request and new user identification information is added to the request list storage unit 614, the list management unit 613 responds to the newly added user identification information. The priority corresponding to the user to be associated is stored in the request list storage unit 614 in association with each other.

The priority rule determination unit 615 determines which priority item to use, and designates the determined priority item as a rule to the list management unit 613. By specifying the priority item, the list management unit 613 stores the specified priority item in association with each user ID stored in the request list storage unit 614 according to this rule. Update the priority according to the item.
This priority item is a condition for determining the priority, and includes, for example, priority, rank, score, points, time, expected content, and attribute information. Here, as a rule, for example, which priority item is used is determined in advance for each content, and when the content to be distributed is determined, the priority item corresponding to the content is determined by the list management unit 613. The determined priority item is stored in the request list storage unit 614 in association with the user ID. For example, when a baseball game is distributed as content, it can be determined in advance that the rule is to use the predicted content as a priority item.

  Further, as a rule, a rule of determining according to an instruction from a distributor or a viewer can be used, and a priority item is determined according to an instruction from the distributor or the viewer before or during content distribution. For example, when delivering content related to travel, if the place of travel destination is Kanagawa Prefecture, and the priority that the location is 10 times the winning probability of a user in Kanagawa Prefecture is specified by the distributor, Of the priorities of users whose attribute information is located in Kanagawa Prefecture, the attribute information item is updated as 10 times, and the users in other locations are updated as 1 time. In addition, when multiple quizzes related to the destination land are given, if the distributor specifies that the score indicating the number of correct answers to the quiz is used as a priority, the user who has a high score is given priority. Winned. Here, for example, when the scores are the same, it is possible to set a rule using a plurality of items such as referring to the attribute information and extracting a user having a high priority of the attribute information.

The priority is information indicating the priority, and the higher the priority, the higher the priority. The rank represents a rank given to each user. For example, there are ranks such as gold, silver, and copper, and the higher the rank, the higher the priority.
The score represents the score obtained by the user in a predetermined game. The higher the score, the higher the score. This game may be determined in advance for each content, or may receive a designation from a distributor or viewer and decide according to this designation.
The point represents the number of points thrown by the user. For example, each user has a point, and the voice communication terminal 40 or the user terminal 30 gives an instruction to throw a point within the range of points owned by the user. The number of points stored in the request list storage unit 614 is added and updated by the list management unit 613.
The time is a time until an answer is made to a question, for example, a time until an answer is transmitted to a quiz given by a distributor during content distribution.
The predicted content is a user's prediction for the question, and is, for example, an answer of the user who has predicted which team will win in response to the question “Which is the match between team vs. team?”
The attribute information is information representing the user's attribute, and for example, at least one of the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 621 is stored. In addition, as to which attribute information is used, this attribute information uses items according to which attribute user is prioritized. For example, the attribute information may be determined in advance for each content, The designation from the viewer may be received and decided according to this designation. Specifically, when a location is used as attribute information, the winning probability of a user whose location is Tokyo is 10 times, the winning probability of a user in other locations is 1 time, and a user with a high magnification is preferentially extracted. To do.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the request list storage unit 614 in this embodiment. In this figure, the request list storage unit 614 stores a user ID, winning identification information, and priority in association with each other. As the priority, any item used as the priority among the priority, rank, score, point, time, expected content, and attribute is stored. Here, a case where each item is stored is illustrated, and an item used as a priority is read by the extraction unit 625 and used for extraction.

Next, the operation in this embodiment will be described. Here, an operation in which a voice call request is received from the voice communication terminal 40 and the extraction unit 625 performs extraction will be described. Since other operations are the same as those in the first to third embodiments, the description thereof is omitted.
FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the request management server 60.
When a request is transmitted from the voice communication terminal 40, the request management server 60 receives the request (step S400), stores the request in the request list storage unit 614, and follows the rule of which priority is used. The priority is stored in association with the user ID. Here, according to the rule, a memory area for storing information on a predetermined priority item or information on a priority item designated by a distributor (or viewer) is secured and an initial value is stored (step S401). ).
When the priority item is determined, the list management unit 613 determines whether or not to update the priority (step S402). This update is determined to be performed when the priority item is changed, or when the distributor (or viewer) inputs an instruction to change the priority, and the update is performed ( Step S403). An example of a case where the distributor (or viewer) inputs an instruction to change the priority is a case where an answer to a quiz is input or an expected content is answered.

  On the other hand, if it is determined not to update the priority, the extraction unit 625 determines whether to perform extraction (step S404). This extraction is executed when an instruction to extract is input by the distributor or the viewer, or when the extraction timing is designated according to the content, when the timing is reached (for example, baseball At the end of the match). When extraction is performed (step S405), the winner identification information of the winning user is updated to “1”, and the process proceeds to step S406.

  If it is determined not to perform the extraction, the list management unit 613 determines whether or not the content distribution has ended (step S406). If the content distribution has ended, the list management unit 613 ends the process and distributes the content. Is continued, the process proceeds to step S402.

  In the embodiment described above, priority is provided for each user, and the winner is determined by performing extraction according to the priority. Therefore, it is possible to provide a place for new communication while enhancing entertainment. it can.

  Further, according to this embodiment, after the extraction unit 625 performs extraction according to the priority, when the process proceeds to step S404 again, it is possible to perform extraction again from the users who have not yet won. So, instead of completing the process of accepting the request, extracting it, and announcing it, hold the currently accepted request and priority information, and continue to use that data for the next extraction. be able to.

In this embodiment, the user priority may be transmitted to the voice communication terminal 40 for display. For example, the priority information stored in the request list storage unit 614 is read, and the request control unit 610 transmits the read result to the voice communication terminal 40.
Here, for example, priority information such as the priority order and score of the transmission destination user may be transmitted as it is, or the position of the user in the request list is calculated. The totaling result may be transmitted. For example, when sending the priority order, the information “You are currently 15th” is displayed on the display screen of the voice communication terminal 40, and when sending the score summary result, “The difference from the top is 80 points. And so on, such information as to be able to grasp the difference from the top user is transmitted and displayed. In addition, when bingo is being played as a game, information such as “15 people reach” is displayed. As a result, the user can grasp how much he / she is positioned among the requested users.

  Further, a program for realizing the functions of the distributor terminal 10, the content server 20, the voice communication terminal 40, the voice communication connection device 50, and the request management server 60 in FIG. 1 is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. Audio program transmission / reception may be managed by causing a computer system to read and execute a program recorded on a recording medium. Here, the “computer system” includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices.

Further, the “computer system” includes a homepage providing environment (or display environment) if a WWW system is used.
The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a storage device such as a flexible medium, a magneto-optical disk, a portable medium such as a ROM and a CD-ROM, and a hard disk incorporated in a computer system. Furthermore, the “computer-readable recording medium” dynamically holds a program for a short time like a communication line when transmitting a program via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line. In this case, a volatile memory in a computer system serving as a server or a client in that case, and a program that holds a program for a certain period of time are also included. The program may be a program for realizing a part of the functions described above, and may be a program capable of realizing the functions described above in combination with a program already recorded in a computer system.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and includes designs and the like that do not depart from the gist of the present invention.
