  By the way, broadcasters of television stations across the country are working on making better programs day and night in order to attract more viewers. For example, in order for television stations to get viewers to get into the habit of watching programs, efforts are made to capture viewers by broadcasting special programs at the time of program reorganization, etc. and expansion specials for regular programs with a high audience rating, etc. Is doing.

  However, in recent years, TV detachment has been progressing from the younger age group to the older age group, and the TV viewing habits have been reduced, leading to a decrease in the audience rating of each TV program. TV separation is a phenomenon in which the position of viewing TV is relatively lowered as the superiority of other media that are not television receivers has improved and the choices of people have diversified. As one of the causes of leaving TV, it is thought that people have become more familiar with the Internet and that the time spent using the Internet has increased. On the other hand, Internet users and hours of use are steadily increasing, and there is a concern that the viewing time of TV will be reduced.

  Therefore, in the future, each TV station will not only simply create and broadcast programs, but also use the Internet, which is expected to improve its utility value as a media, and aim for the coexistence of TV programs and the Internet. It is thought that it is necessary to go. With the Internet user population exploding, if you can increase people's interest in TV programs via the Internet, you can increase the audience rating of TV programs, and expect the expectations of sponsors. It can be said that it can be satisfied.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a viewer participation type television program broadcast and broadcast system that can attract viewers' interest.

The inventors of the present invention, as a result of earnestly examining the means for achieving the above-mentioned object, have the television receiver display effect content as an example of the operation, and the portable information terminal possessed by the viewer of the television program can display the terminal. By detecting the movement and determining whether the movement of the terminal matches the sample of dance, we obtained the knowledge that a dance game can be provided to a large number of viewers simultaneously through a TV program. Thus, by providing a dance game through a television program, it is possible to add new added value to the television program and enhance the appeal of the television program. Then, the present inventors have completed the present invention by conceiving that the above-described object can be achieved based on the above knowledge.
More specifically, the present invention has the following steps and configurations.

A first aspect of the present invention relates to a viewer-participating television program broadcasting method.
The method according to the first aspect of the present invention is executed by a television program broadcasting system.
The system includes a broadcasting station 100, a television receiver 200, a viewer terminal 300, and a service server 400. The broadcasting station 100 broadcasts a television program.

Here, the effect content includes sample motion information that prompts the viewer to cause the motion sensor 320 of the viewer terminal 300 to detect a predetermined motion.
In the analysis step, the terminal motion information detected by the motion sensor 320 of the viewer terminal 300 is analyzed to determine whether the motion prompted by the sample motion information matches or within a certain error. including.

  As described above, for example, by broadcasting a television program reflecting production content including sample operation information as a sample of dance, the viewer is encouraged to dance while holding the viewer terminal 300 in his / her hand. . Then, it is analyzed whether or not the movement of the viewer detected by the motion sensor 320 of the viewer terminal 300 matches the movement of the dance sample specified by the sample movement information. Thus, the viewer can dance together with the sample of dance displayed in the program while watching the television program. Furthermore, in the present invention, it is analyzed whether or not the viewer's movement matches the sample of dance, so that the game performance of the television program can be improved. This makes it possible to broadcast a viewer-participating television program that can attract the viewer's interest.

  The television program broadcasting method of the present invention preferably further includes a scoring step. In the scoring process, the viewer terminal 300 or the service server 400 calculates a score based on the coincidence rate between the operation information of the terminal analyzed in the analysis process and the operation prompted by the sample operation information, and the obtained score Is displayed on the screen of the viewer terminal 300.

  By performing the scoring process as in the above configuration, a viewer who has participated in the dance game can check the score based on the success rate of the dance. For example, when the television program is a music program, the viewer can play a dance game based on the sound source broadcast as the television program. In particular, in the embodiment in which the viewer terminal 300 calculates the operation matching rate and calculates the score, since the calculation process can be completed at the terminal, the processing at the server can be reduced and the number of users has increased. Even in such a case, it is not necessary to add a server, and the maintenance cost of the server can be reduced.

  The television program broadcasting method of the present invention may further include an editing step and a content changing step. The editing process is a process in which the service server 400 generates content editing information for editing the effect content based on the operation information of the terminal analyzed in the analyzing process, and transmits the content editing information to the broadcasting station 100. The content changing step is a step in which the broadcasting station 100 receives content editing information, changes the production content based on the content editing information, and broadcasts a television program reflecting the changed production content.

  As in the above process, the service server 400 changes the content information broadcast together with the TV program based on the motion information of the viewer detected by the viewer terminal 300, thereby allowing the viewer of the TV program to be changed. On the other hand, it is possible to give pleasure to participate in program planning and a sense of accomplishment when the content of the program changes due to its own actions.

  Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, but includes those appropriately modified by those skilled in the art from the following embodiments.

(Viewer Participation Type TV Program Broadcasting Method and System)
First, an overview of a viewer-participating television program broadcasting method and a system for executing the method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a viewer-participating television program broadcasting system 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the system 10 according to the present embodiment basically includes a broadcasting station 100, a television receiver 200, a viewer terminal 300, and a service server 400. The system 10 according to the present invention may optionally include an event control terminal 500, an output device 600, and a participant terminal 700. The event control terminal 500, the output device 600, and the participant terminal 700 are not essential components of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the broadcasting station 100, the viewer terminal 300, the service server 400, and the event control terminal 500 are connected so that they can exchange information with each other via an information communication line (Internet). ing. In addition, the broadcasting station 100 and the television receiver 200 can communicate bidirectionally via a digital broadcasting network. The event control terminal 500 and the output device 600 are connected by wire or wireless.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the television receiver 200 is basically installed at the viewer's home or the like. Further, when a viewer views a television program output by the television receiver 200, the viewer terminal 300 owned by the viewer is also assumed to be located at the viewer's home. On the other hand, at an event venue such as a concert, an event control terminal 500 and various output devices 600 (speakers, large displays, etc.) connected thereto are installed. In addition, during a concert, it is assumed that the participant terminals held by the event participants are also located at the event venue.

  The broadcast station 100 broadcasts as TV program data by adding production content provided from the service server 400 to video data including audio data and image (moving image) data. The television receiver 200 receives data of a television program broadcast by the broadcasting station 100 and outputs it as video and audio. The viewer terminal 300 is a portable information terminal held by a viewer of a television program output by the television receiver 200. The viewer presses the physical button of the viewer terminal 300, touches the touch panel display, or shakes the viewer terminal 300 according to the contents of the TV program, and sends predetermined information to the viewer terminal 300. input. In particular, the viewer terminal 300 has a built-in motion sensor 320, and the motion of the terminal can be detected by the motion sensor 320. For example, the motion sensor 320 includes a gyro sensor and an acceleration sensor, and can detect the direction and speed at which the viewer terminal 300 is shaken by the viewer. In addition, the motion sensor 320 may detect the acceleration of the terminal, the rotation speed of the terminal, the attitude of the terminal, and the gravitational acceleration. In the present specification, information detected by the motion sensor 320 is referred to as “terminal operation information”. Various types of input information (including terminal operation information) input to the viewer terminal 300 can be transmitted to the service server 400 through an information communication line.

  On the other hand, at the event venue, the event control terminal 500 connected to the service server 400 controls the output device 600 to output the effect content provided by the service server 400. The output device 600 is a speaker, a large display, or the like that is controlled by the event control terminal 500 and outputs production content. The participant terminal 700 is a portable information terminal held by participants of events such as music concerts. Depending on the content of the event, the event participant presses the physical button of the participant terminal 700, touches the touch panel display, or shakes the participant terminal 700, thereby giving predetermined information to the participant terminal 700. Enter. Similarly to the viewer terminal 300, the participant terminal 700 also includes a motion sensor 720. Thus, the participant terminal 700 can detect the direction and speed when the participant terminal 700 is shaken by the participant. Various types of input information input to the participant terminal 700 can be transmitted to the service server 400 through an information communication line.

  The service server 400 receives the input information transmitted from the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700, performs arithmetic processing including aggregation and analysis of the input information, and provides the presentation content provided to the broadcasting station 100, Content editing information for editing the effect content provided to the event control terminal 500 is generated and transmitted to the broadcast station 100 and the event control terminal 500.

  FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of the viewer participation type television program broadcasting method. FIG. 3 conceptually shows the flow of information in the viewer-participating television program broadcasting system.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the viewer-participating television program broadcasting system first performs a preparation process. In the preparation step, as shown in FIG. 3, service server 400 reads the effect content from the effect information storage unit included in service server 400 and transmits the read effect content to broadcast station 100 and event control terminal 500. To do. The service server 400 may transmit the effect content to each of the broadcast station 100 and the event control terminal 500 through an information communication line such as the Internet.

  The production content includes various contents for exciting TV programs and events such as still image data, moving image data, character data, music data, and audio data that can be output by the television receiver 200 and various output devices 600. It is. The effect content is different from the content to be transmitted to the broadcast station 100 and the content to be transmitted to the event control terminal 500, and is classified and stored in the effect information storage unit of the service server 400. It may be. Further, the effect content may be the same content that is transmitted to the broadcast station 100 and the content that is transmitted to the event control terminal 500.

  In the present invention, a dance game is stored in the effect information storage unit as effect content. The dance game here means sample operation information that prompts the viewer of the TV program to detect a predetermined operation by the motion sensor 320 of the viewer terminal 300. The dance game may also be sample operation information that prompts the event participants to cause the motion sensor 720 of the participant terminal 700 to detect a predetermined operation. As a typical example of a dance game, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the television receiver receives sample operation information that prompts the viewer to detect a predetermined operation by the motion sensor 320 of the viewer terminal 300 at a predetermined timing. This game is displayed on the machine 200. Such a game is also called a music game or a rhythm game. For example, the sample operation information includes a plurality of timing marks and one point mark as shown in FIG. The plurality of timing marks indicate specific operation directions by arrows or the like, and proceed on the display screen of the television receiver 200 toward the point marks at a constant speed. On the display screen, the point mark does not move, and the timing mark sequentially overlaps the point mark. As a result, the sample operation information is displayed in the timing mark on the motion sensor 320 of the viewer terminal 300 to the viewer when each timing mark comes to the same position as the point mark located at the left end of the display screen. Encourage them to detect movements in the same direction as the arrows. For example, when a timing mark indicated by an upward arrow overlaps a point mark, the viewer may swing up the viewer terminal 300 upward. In this way, the viewer can perform a dance-like operation according to the sample operation information displayed on the television receiver 200 while holding the viewer terminal 300 by hand. However, the dance game (sample operation information) is not limited to that shown in FIG. For example, although illustration is omitted, the sample operation information may be an animation or a live-action image of a dancer who dances a dance sample displayed on the television receiver 200. In this case, the viewer performs the dance together with the sample dancer while holding the viewer terminal 300 by hand. At this time, information detected by the motion sensor 320 of the viewer terminal 300 can be recognized as operation information of the terminal. In addition, when the production content is such a dance game, the information related to the dance game includes information related to the timing when the dance is correct.

  Further, for example, it is preferable that the production content includes video data that changes in accordance with control from the service server 400. A typical example of such video data is a level gauge. For example, as shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6, the level gauge is video data that changes so that the gauge increases or decreases in accordance with a control signal from the service server 400. It is particularly preferable that the level gauge that is transmitted from the service server 400 to the broadcasting station 100 and that transmitted from the service server 400 to the event control terminal 500 are linked to each other. When the effect content is like the level gauge, the effect information storage unit of the service server 400 stores a condition for increasing or decreasing the level gauge as the effect content. For example, as a condition for increasing / decreasing the level gauge stored in the effect information storage unit, a predetermined number or more of operation information is stored in the viewer terminal within a predetermined time (eg, 0.1 to 10 seconds, 1 to 5 seconds). When it is transmitted from 300 and the participant terminal 700 to the service server 400, there can be a condition that the level gauge is increased according to the difference between the certain number and the number of motion information. On the other hand, in the effect information storage unit, when less than a certain number of operation information is transmitted from the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 to the service server 400 within a predetermined time as a condition for increasing or decreasing the level gauge, the certain level A condition for reducing the level gauge according to the difference between the number and the number of motion information may be stored. In addition, in the effect information storage unit, as a condition for increasing or decreasing the level gauge, the total number of operation information transmitted from the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 to the service server 400 within a certain predetermined time, and the next predetermined The cumulative total of motion information transmitted from the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 to the service server 400 within the time is compared. When the cumulative total of motion information within the next predetermined time is large, the level gauge is increased, When the cumulative amount of operation information within the next predetermined time is small, a condition for decreasing the level gauge may be stored. As other conditions for increasing or decreasing the level gauge, known ones can be appropriately employed. Conditions for increasing or decreasing these level gauges are referred to when the service server 400 generates content editing information, as will be described later. The “predetermined time” in this paragraph may be 0.1 to 20 seconds, 0.1 to 10 seconds, or 1 to 5 seconds.

  In addition, it is preferable that the effect content includes an effect image and an effect sound that decorate the television program. In addition, it is preferable that these effect images and effect sounds are stored in the effect information storage unit in association with a predetermined threshold relating to the number of times the motion information is detected. Further, these effect images and effect sounds may be stored in the effect information storage unit in association with the threshold value of the level gauge. As a result, various effect images and the like are read from the effect information storage unit when the level gauge reaches a predetermined threshold value or exceeds a predetermined threshold value. For example, FIG. 4 shows an example in which when the level gauge exceeds a certain value, an effect image that decorates the level gauge is displayed on the television receiver 200. Further, the effect sound may be emitted from the television receiver 200 together with the effect image for decoration.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the preparation process, the various effect contents are transmitted from the service server 400 to the broadcast station 100 and the event control terminal 500. When the broadcast station 100 receives the production content, the broadcast station 100 broadcasts a television program reflecting the production content. In other words, the broadcasting station 100 broadcasts as television program data by adding effect content provided from the service server 400 to video data including audio data and image (moving image) data. In addition, when receiving the effect content, the event control terminal 500 performs control to output the content reflecting the effect content to the output device 600 such as a speaker or a large display. Thereby, the sample operation information related to the dance game is displayed on the television receiver 200 installed in each viewer's home. Also, sample operation information related to the dance game is output to an output device 600 (speaker, large display, etc.) installed at the event venue.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the preparation of various production contents is completed through the preparation process, the viewer-participation-type television program broadcasting system next performs an operation detection process. The motion detection process is a process in which the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 detect a predetermined motion of each terminal by the motion sensors 320 and 720. The terminal operation information detected by the motion sensors 320 and 720 is preferably transmitted to the service server 400 via the Internet. As described above, the operation information of the terminal includes various information detected by the motion sensors 320 and 720 indicating the direction and speed of each terminal being shaken by the viewer. In addition, the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700, together with the operation information of each terminal, information that a physical button included in the terminal is pressed, information that a predetermined area of a touch panel display included in the terminal is touched, etc. Various input information may be transmitted to the service server 400. The viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 are mobile information terminals such as mobile phones, smartphones, tablet terminals, and notebook terminals. The input unit of the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 may be any device that can detect information input by the user. Examples thereof include a physical button, a touch panel display, an acceleration sensor, and a gyro sensor. The physical button can detect that it has been pressed (ON / OFF) by the viewer or the participant and the pressing force. The touch panel display can detect that a predetermined area on the display screen is touched by a viewer or a participant. In addition, since the acceleration sensor and the gyro sensor can detect a change in the moving speed and a change in inclination of the terminal, as a result, the direction and speed in which the terminal is shaken by the viewer or the participant can be detected. The input unit of the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 may be a microphone or a CCD camera. The microphone can detect the voice of the viewer or the participant as input information. It is also possible to detect changes in the moving speed and inclination of the terminal as input information using a camera.

  The viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 transmit terminal operation information detected by the motion sensors 320 and 720 to the service server 400. Each time the operation information is detected, the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 may transmit the operation information to the service server 400 each time, or temporarily input the operation information input within a certain time. The operation information may be stored in a memory and transmitted to the service server 400 after a certain period of time. The fixed time referred to here may be as short as 1 to 20 seconds or 2 to 10 seconds, or may be as long as 1 to 10 minutes or 2 to 5 minutes. For example, the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 temporarily store the operation information input by the viewer and the participants in the memory until the music output by the television receiver 200 starts and ends. The operation information can be transmitted to the service server 400 after the music is stored. When it is desired to reflect the motion information by the viewer and the participant in real time on the TV program or event content, it is preferable to transmit the motion information to the service server 400 each time the motion information is detected. . For example, when the production content is a level gauge, it is possible to give viewers and participants a sense of realism by performing processing for increasing or decreasing the level gauge in real time. On the other hand, when the production content is a dance game (sample operation information), it is not necessary to perform arithmetic processing in the service server 400 in real time. Therefore, when the production content is a dance game (sample operation information), in order to reduce the processing load of the service server 400, the operation information input in a certain piece of music is collected together after the end of the music, and the service server 400. It is preferable to transmit to. Further, when the effect content is a dance game, the viewer terminal 300 may complete the scoring process of the dance game in the viewer terminal 300 without transmitting the operation information to the service server 400.

  As shown in FIG. 2, after the motion detection step, the service server 400 performs an analysis step of analyzing motion information received from the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700. In the analysis process, the service server 400 basically performs an analysis process of the operation information of the terminal according to the effect content provided to the broadcast station 100 and the event control terminal 500. For example, the service server 400 can make the input information analysis process different depending on whether the production content provided to the broadcasting station 100 is a level gauge or a dance game.

  For example, when the production content is a level gauge, the service server 400 counts the number of times input information (including terminal operation information) received from the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 is detected. Is preferred. Further, for example, the service server 400 obtains the instantaneous total of the number of input information inputs within a predetermined time (eg, 0.1 to 10 seconds, 1 to 5 seconds), and the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminals 700. It is also possible to calculate the number of input information received from both. In the present invention, a plurality of viewer terminals 300 and a plurality of participant terminals 700 exist. For this reason, the service server 400 accumulates the number of detected pieces of input information received from each of the plurality of viewer terminals 300 and the plurality of participant terminals 700 every predetermined time, thereby obtaining the input information at a certain moment. The total number of detections can be determined. Note that such analysis processing for obtaining the instantaneous total of input information can also be performed when the production content is a dance game.

  For example, when the production content is a level gauge, the service server 400 detects the number of input information (including terminal operation information) received from the participant terminal 700 existing in the event venue, May be classified into the number of detected input information (including terminal operation information) received from the viewer terminal 300 existing in a place other than the above, and the instantaneous total in each classification may be obtained. That is, each of the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 includes a position information acquisition unit (GPS information acquisition unit) for acquiring own position information. Thereby, the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 can acquire their current positions as coordinate values. And the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 are transmitting the positional information acquired by the positional information acquisition part to the service server 400 with various input information in the input detection process mentioned above. Here, the service server 400 grasps the event venue location information (coordinate values) by storing it in a memory or the like. For this reason, the service server 400 refers to the position information of the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 that transmitted the input information and the position information of the event venue in the analysis step, based on these position information. The input information can be classified into information received from the participant terminal 700 existing in the event venue and information received from the viewer terminal 300 existing in other places. By doing so, the service server 400 receives input information received from the portable information terminal from the participant terminal 700 existing in the event venue and from the viewer terminal 300 existing in other places. It is possible to categorize and totalize the received information and treat each piece of information as different.

  On the other hand, when the production content is a dance game, the service server 400, in the analysis process, matches the motion information detected by the motion sensor 320 of the viewer terminal 300 with the motion prompted by the correct sample motion information. Alternatively, it is possible to perform a process of analyzing whether or not they match within a certain error. Specifically, the service server 400 determines the timing of the operation detected by the motion sensor 320 of the viewer terminal 300, the moving speed of the terminal, and the moving direction of the terminal based on the timing, moving speed, And it is judged whether it matches with the moving direction or within a certain error. Thereby, the service server 400 can calculate the coincidence rate between the operation information of the terminal input by the user and the sample operation information as a correct answer. The service server 400 may analyze whether or not the operation information transmitted from the viewer terminal 300 matches the correct sample operation information in real time. Further, the service server 400 collectively receives the operation information acquired by the viewer terminal 300 from the start to the end of one piece of music, and receives the combined operation information and the sample operation information as a correct answer. It is also possible to analyze whether or not the operation information of the terminal input by the user matches the correct sample operation information. However, in the system of the present invention, a delay occurs when a television program including a dance game is displayed on the television receiver 200 from the broadcasting station 100, or when operation information is transmitted from the viewer terminal 300 to the service server 400. There will be a delay. For this reason, in the system of the present invention, the service server 400 collectively receives the operation information acquired by the viewer terminal 300 from the start to the end of one piece of music, and collates with the sample operation information that is the correct answer. It is preferable to perform analysis processing. Note that when performing the analysis process related to the dance game, it is preferable to perform delay arrangement of the timing when the operation information of the terminal is input by the user. This timing delay arrangement will be described in detail in a later paragraph.

  Further, when the effect content is a dance game, the service server 400 performs a scoring process after the analysis process. In the scoring process, the service server 400 calculates a score based on the matching rate between the terminal operation information obtained in the analysis process and the correct sample operation information. The score may be displayed as a score, or may be displayed as a rank, such as a senior, intermediate, or beginner. In the scoring process, the viewer terminal 300 that the service server 400 transmits the obtained score to the viewer terminal 300 can display the received score on the display screen. Thereby, the viewer can know the score result of the dance game via the display screen of the viewer terminal 300. In addition, this scoring process is an arbitrary process performed when the production content is a dance game.

  However, when the production content is a dance game, whether or not the motion information detected by the viewer terminal 300 itself with the motion sensor 320 and the sample motion information that is the correct answer match or within a certain error. It is good also as performing the process which analyzes. That is, the viewer terminal 300 may calculate the matching rate between the motion information input by the user and the sample motion information that is correct. In addition, the viewer terminal 300 collectively stores the operation information input to the user from the start to the end of one piece of music, and after the end of the music, the combined operation information and a sample that is correct. It is also possible to analyze whether or not the operation information input by the user matches the sample operation information as a correct answer by collating the operation information. Then, in the scoring process, the viewer terminal 300 calculates a score based on the matching rate between the user's motion information obtained in the analysis process and the sample motion information that is the correct answer, and obtains it on a display means such as a display. The score may be displayed. As described above, in the embodiment in which the score calculation is performed in the viewer terminal 300, since the calculation process can be completed in the terminal, the process in the server can be reduced and even when the number of users increases. There is no need to add servers, and server maintenance costs can be reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 2, after the analysis process, the service server 400 performs an editing process. In the editing process, the service server 400 generates content editing information for editing the production content based on the operation information analyzed in the analyzing process, and transmits the content editing information to the broadcast station 100 and the event control terminal 500. For example, when the production content is a level gauge, the service server 400 generates content editing information for increasing or decreasing the level gauge in the editing process. As described above, the effect information storage unit of the service server 400 stores conditions for increasing or decreasing the level gauge as effect content. For this reason, the service server 400 refers to the effect information storage unit, and the instantaneous cumulative number of times of detection of the input information (including the operation information of the terminal) obtained in the analysis process satisfies the condition for increasing the level gauge. Whether or not the condition for decreasing the level gauge is satisfied, and information for increasing the level gauge or information for decreasing the level gauge is generated as content editing information according to the result. Note that if the instantaneous cumulative number of detection times of input information obtained in the analysis process does not satisfy both the conditions for increasing and decreasing the level gauge, the service server 400 needs to generate content editing information. There is no.

  In addition, when the number of times the input information collected in the analysis process is detected exceeds a predetermined threshold, the service server 400 displays the effect content (effect image, effect sound) corresponding to the threshold as an effect information storage unit. And may be transmitted to the broadcast station 100 and the event control terminal 500. In addition, when the level gauge reaches or exceeds the predetermined threshold, the service server 400 reads the effect content (effect image, effect sound) corresponding to the threshold from the effect information storage unit, and broadcast station 100 and the event control terminal 500 may be transmitted.

  Further, as described above, the service server 400, based on the positional information of the viewer terminal 300 and the participant terminal 700 that transmitted the input information in the analysis process, converts the input information to the participants existing in the event venue. The information can be classified into those received from the terminal 700 and those received from the viewer terminal 300 existing elsewhere. In such a case, the service server 400 generates first content editing information for editing the effect content based on the input information received from the viewer terminal 300 and receives it from the participant terminal 700 in the editing step. Based on the input information, it is possible to generate second content editing information for editing the production content, which is different from the first content editing information. For example, the service server 400 may change the weight that affects the increase or decrease of the level gauge between the input information transmitted from the event venue and the input information transmitted from other places. That is, the service server 400 generates the second content editing information generated based on the input information received from the participant terminal 700, the first content editing information generated based on the input information received from the viewer terminal 300, Therefore, the second content editing information can have a greater influence on the level gauge increase / decrease than the first content editing information by varying the weighting of the effect on the change in level gauge increase / decrease. . Thus, it is preferable that the service server 400 treats the input information transmitted from the event site and the input information transmitted from other places as different information.

  Also, the service server 400 includes the first content editing information generated based on the input information received from the viewer terminal 300 and the second content editing information generated based on the input information received from the participant terminal 700. The transmission destination may be the same or different. For example, the service server 400 may transmit the first content editing information and the second content editing information to both the broadcast station 100 and the event control terminal 500, respectively. The service server 400 may transmit the first content editing information only to the broadcasting station 100 and transmit the second content editing information only to the event control terminal 500. On the contrary, the service server 400 can transmit the first content editing information only to the event control terminal 500 and transmit the second content editing information only to the broadcasting station 100.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a content changing step is performed after the analyzing step. First, the broadcasting station 100 receives the content editing information transmitted from the service server 400, changes the production content based on the content editing information, and broadcasts the television program reflecting the changed production content. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the level gauge displayed on the display screen of the television receiver 200 increases or decreases as the production content changes. In other words, according to the present invention, a large number of viewers and event participants press the buttons of the portable information terminal or shake the portable information terminal, so that the television receiver 200 can be used according to the input information. It is possible to provide a new TV program mechanism that increases the level gauge displayed on the screen. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the number of input information input to the portable information terminal by the user increases, an effect image for decorating the television program is displayed on the display screen of the television receiver 200. It is also possible to make it. On the other hand, the event control terminal 500 installed at the event venue receives the content editing information transmitted from the service server 400, changes the presentation content based on the content editing information, and reflects the changed presentation content. The content is output to an output device 600 such as a speaker or a large display. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to link a level gauge displayed on a large display installed at the event site with a level gauge displayed on the display screen of the television receiver 200. Thereby, for example, when the content of the TV program is the content of live broadcasting of the concert being performed at the event venue, the viewer of the TV program and the participants of the event can enjoy the concert together.

  Further, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, by broadcasting a dance game in addition to a television program, the viewer can perform his / her own sample operation information displayed on the television receiver 200. While holding the viewer terminal 300, the user can enjoy television programs by waving and jumping arms. In addition, the service server 400 or the viewer terminal 300 scores the correct answer rate of the user operation information by collating the correct sample operation information with the operation information of the terminal input by the user, and the score Can be displayed on the display screen of the viewer terminal 300. Thereby, the viewer can easily browse the play result of his / her dance game via the display screen of the viewer terminal 300. In particular, when a TV program is a content that broadcasts a live concert at an event venue, the viewer dances to the music of the actual concert while watching the live TV program. Can play games. For this reason, the viewer can enjoy the music concert more through the TV program.

(About delay arrangement of timing information)
However, when providing a dance game in accordance with live concert music, it is difficult to completely synchronize the actually played music and the timing when the viewer inputs the operation information to the viewer terminal 300. It is. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, in the current television broadcasting technology and communication technology, when data is transmitted and received, there is a delay between data transmission and reception. For example, when live broadcasting a concert, it is necessary to install a photographing device such as a camera or a microphone and a relay device for transmitting video / sound data acquired by the photographing device to the broadcasting station 100 at the event venue. First, there is a delay in data transmission / reception between the relay device and the broadcasting station 100. Also, when a television program is broadcast from the broadcasting station 100 to the home television receiver 200 through the digital broadcasting network, at least 2 to 3 from when the television program is broadcast until it is displayed on the screen of the television receiver 200. A second delay occurs. Furthermore, there is a slight delay in the process of transmitting / receiving operation information between the viewer terminal 300 and the service server 400 and the process of transmitting / receiving content editing information between the service server 400 and the broadcast station 100. For this reason, the system of the present invention has a problem that time synchronization between the viewer terminal 400 and the television receiver 200 cannot be performed accurately. It should be noted that even if a rough synchronization that allows a deviation of several seconds is possible, it is extremely difficult to synchronize with the accuracy (10 to 100 milliseconds) required for a dance game.

  Further, many of the viewer terminals 300 (smartphones and mobile phones) used by the viewer have a low CPU processing speed. In particular, in the case of an implementation that provides a dance game service on a web page that is browsed by the web browser of the viewer terminal 300, in this implementation, it is necessary to perform processing using Javascript (registered trademark), and the viewer terminal 300 itself The processing speed is inferior to the implementation form that provides the dance game via the application stored in the. Further, the timing information input to the viewer terminal 300 at the end of the music is not collectively transmitted to the service server 400, but is communicated in real time between the viewer terminal 300 and the service server 400 so that the viewer can watch Considering the goal of dynamically displaying scoring results while inputting operation information to the user terminal 300, a scoring algorithm that can be processed in real time with a small amount of calculation is required.

  Therefore, in the following, a delay arrangement algorithm for solving these problems will be described. The following delay arrangement algorithm is executed by the service server 400 in the embodiment in which the service server 400 scores the game, and is executed by the viewer terminal 300 in the embodiment in which the viewer terminal 300 itself scores the game. Is done.

First, the basic algorithm in a dance game will be described. That is, the state in which the rhythm pattern of the motion information input by the user and the rhythm pattern of the correct sample motion information are synchronized in time can be expressed as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9 (a), the time of the correct user should input the operation information _{a 1, a 2, a 3} , ..., and _{a N, u} 1 a time at which the user inputs the operation information, u ₂ , u ₃ ,..., u _M. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the input rhythm u _{i of} each user enters within a certain range of time of each correct answer rhythm pattern a _i , " In the example shown in FIG. 9B, u ₁ , u ₄ , and u ₆ are “correct inputs”. If the number of correct inputs is R, R can be expressed by the following mathematical formula.

  However, in the above formula, c (x, y) is a function that becomes 1 when | x−y | <Th and becomes 0 in other cases. Th means an allowable error (time) between the user's rhythm and the correct rhythm. The score (score) of the user's rhythm is calculated based on R obtained by the above formula. Specifically, the number of correct rhythms N and the number of user rhythms M are calculated by the following equation: score (score) = R / max (N, M). it can. However, the technology described here is not applicable only when the score (score) is calculated by the above formula, but can also be applied to another score formula where the formula depends on R. It is.

  On the other hand, as in the system according to the present invention, the state in which the rhythm pattern input by the user and the correct rhythm pattern cannot be synchronized in time can be expressed as shown in FIG. When the rhythm pattern cannot be synchronized, as shown in FIG. 10A, there is a difference between the correct rhythm time and the user rhythm time. Therefore, when the calculation method shown in [Formula 1] is used, the value of R indicating the number of correct inputs becomes very small, and the user's rhythm pattern cannot be scored accurately.

  Therefore, as a solution to the above problem, the score of the user's rhythm pattern is calculated while gradually shifting the time of the correct rhythm pattern, and the score when the score is the highest is taken as the final score. Thus, FIG. 11 conceptually shows a method of scoring the user's rhythm pattern while shifting the time of the correct rhythm pattern.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when scoring is repeated while shifting the correct answer at regular time intervals (for example, in units of 10 to 1000 milliseconds or 10 to 100 milliseconds), the score of the case shown in FIG. It turns out that it becomes the highest. For this reason, the number of correct user inputs is four, and the number of points of the user's rhythm pattern can be calculated based on this. When expressed in mathematical formulas,

Here, Δt ₁ , Δt ₂ , Δt ₃ ,..., Δt _S , delimits a time lag range between the assumed television receiver 200 and the viewer terminal 300 by a small time interval (100 milliseconds or the like). It is a thing. For example, when a time lag of about ± 60 seconds is expected, −60.0 s, −59.9 s, −59.8 s, −59.7 s,..., −0.1 s, 0.0 s, +0.1 s,. , +59.9 s, +60.0 s. The above calculation method is a scoring method when the time is not synchronized, and this method can clear the problem of time lag between the video displayed on the television receiver 200 and the rhythm input to the viewer terminal 300. .

  However, if the scoring method based on the calculation formula shown in [Equation 2] is implemented in the system as it is, the calculation time will increase, and as a result, it is considered that it is not suitable for calculation processing in real time. That is, the scoring method based on the above calculation formula is not suitable for the process of sequentially calculating the score by the service server 400 or the viewer terminal 300 as the viewer gradually inputs rhythms to the viewer terminal 300. . Therefore, when the calculation is performed by the service server 400 or the viewer terminal 300, it is preferable to use the following algorithm.

  That is, in the equation shown in [Expression 2] above, when R when the time deviation is Δt is R (Δt), it can be expressed by the following equation.

Here, let us consider that the rhythm input by the user is given gradually, and the score of the user's rhythm pattern is calculated in the middle of the music. If the rhythm input by the user is given to the middle, i.e. the rhythm input by the user to the _{m, u 1, u 2, u} 3, ... when u _m is given, the correct input of the user at that time The number R _m is expressed as follows.

Further, a R = _{R m.} Here, Rm + (Δt) is expressed as follows.

As described above, R _{m + 1} (Δt) can be obtained by difference calculation using R _m (Δt), and score calculation can be performed gradually for m (the number of rhythm inputs by the user in the middle of the music). . As a result, the difference between the scores can be calculated in real time (gradually) according to the user's input, so that it is expected that the calculation can be performed at a sufficient speed even with the low calculation capability of the viewer terminal 300. Further, even when the user is inputting operation information to the viewer terminal 300, the score can be displayed in real time.

Note that one embodiment of a specific implementation of the formula A is as follows.
First, as variables prepared in advance, “the tolerance of deviation Th”, “the estimated value of time deviation Δt ₁ , Δt ₂ , Δt _3, ..., Δt _S ”, and the time a ₁ , a of the correct rhythm pattern ₂ , a ₃ ,..., A _M ”.
Further, the variable that is sequentially input by the user is expressed as “time u ₁ , u ₂ , u ₃ ,..., U _{N of the} rhythm pattern input by the user”.
Also, a hash map (dictionary variable) S is prepared.

When the user inputs u _i (i = 1, 2,..., M, i is an integer of 1 or more), the following processing is performed.
S [Δt] is incremented by 1 for all time deviations Δt satisfying {(a ₁ + Δt) −u _i } <Th. Set to 1 if S [Δt] does not exist.
S [Δt] is incremented by 1 for all time deviations Δt satisfying {(a ₂ + Δt) −u _i } <Th. Set to 1 if S [Δt] does not exist.
S [Δt] is incremented by 1 for all time deviations Δt satisfying {(a ₃ + Δt) −u _i } <Th. Set to 1 if S [Δt] does not exist.
S [Δt] is incremented by 1 for all time deviations Δt satisfying {(a _N + Δt) −u _i } <Th. Set to 1 if S [Δt] does not exist.
The above processing is an implementation of the above mathematical formula A, and S [Δt] = R _m (Δt). At this time, the maximum value of the hash map S is the number of correct inputs R _m up to the user input u _i . Similarly, when the user completes the input to the end, the maximum value of the hash map S is the final correct input number R of the user.
