  FIG. 10 is an image diagram showing an arrangement state of a plurality of moving image files that the smartphone 10 downloads from the moving image management system 40. Such an arrangement state is defined by arrangement information sent together with a plurality of moving image files. It has become. The arrangement information also defines the video file that is the first playback target. In this embodiment, the layout information includes the latest video captured by the download destination user. (In FIG. 10, the moving image file A-1 surrounded by a frame W), the moving image files to be downloaded are arranged in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction around the moving image file A-1.

  In FIG. 10, the moving image files arranged in one row (A to E rows) along the horizontal direction are moving image files corresponding to moving images captured by the same user (or moving images uploaded by the same user). For example, the A-line moving image files A-1 to A-5 arranged in a line along the horizontal direction at the center in the vertical direction correspond to the moving image captured by the user U1, and below The B row moving image files B-1 to B-3 arranged in a row along the horizontal direction correspond to the moving image picked up by the user U2, and are further arranged in a row along the horizontal direction below. The D-row moving image files D-1 to D4 correspond to moving images captured by the user U3. Then, the moving image files C-1 to C-5 in the C column arranged in a row along the horizontal direction above the A column are in accordance with the moving image captured by the user U4, and along the horizontal direction above that. The moving image files E-1 to E-3 in the E row arranged in a row correspond to the moving images captured by the user U5.

  In addition, each moving image file captured by the same user arranged in a line along the horizontal direction is a moving image file with a different imaging location name (imaging tag). For example, the moving image file A-1 surrounded by a frame W has an imaging location name of Tokyo Shibuya, and the moving image file A-2 on the right side of the moving image file A-2 has an imaging location name of Tokyo Shinjuku, and the moving image file A- 4 is a video file A-3 on the left side of the moving image file A-1 surrounded by a frame W in the shooting location name in Tokyo Harajuku, and a moving image file A-5 on the left side of the moving image file A-3 in which the imaging location name is Tokyo Ginza. The imaging position is Tokyo Shinagawa. Then, the video file A-2 on the right side of the video file A-1 surrounded by the frame W has the largest number of downloads, and the next highest number of downloads is the video file A-1 surrounded by the frame W. The video file A-3 on the left is the video file A-4, which is the third most downloaded, and the video file A-5 is the fourth most downloaded. The arrangement according to the number of downloads is the same in the other user columns (B to E columns).

  Therefore, in the main screen 21 shown in FIG. 9, when the moving image D is displayed by the reproduction processing of the moving image file A-1 surrounded by the frame W in FIG. 10 (the moving image file surrounded by the frame W is reproduced). When the smartphone 10 accepts the swipe operation 25b (corresponding to the first direction operation in the left direction, which is one direction), the moving image files arranged in the A column move to the left direction according to the arrangement information. The moving image file A-2 arranged on the right side of the moving image file A-1 is positioned in the frame W, and the display 12 is changed from the moving image corresponding to the moving image file A-1 to the moving image file A-2. If the swipe operation 25b is further accepted from this state, the process of switching to the video corresponding to the video file A-4 is performed. Do.

  When the smartphone 10 receives a swipe operation 25a (corresponding to the first direction operation in the left direction, which is the other direction) in a case where a moving image is displayed by the reproduction processing of the moving image file A-1, according to the arrangement information. The reproduction processing target is changed to the moving image file A-3 arranged on the left side of the moving image file A-1, and the display 12 is changed from the moving image corresponding to the moving image file A-1 to the moving image file A-3. If a swipe operation 25b is further accepted from this state, a process of switching the display on the display 12 to a moving image corresponding to the moving image file A-5 is performed.

  Further, when a moving image is displayed by reproduction processing of any one of the moving image files A-1 to A-5 in the A column, the smartphone 10 performs a swipe operation 26b (corresponding to the second direction operation in the downward direction as the first direction). ) In accordance with the arrangement information, the reproduction processing target is changed to the moving image file C-1 at the center of the C column arranged above the A column, and the display on the display 12 is changed to the moving image corresponding to the moving image file C-1. If a swipe operation 26b is further accepted from this state, a process of switching the display on the display 12 to a moving image corresponding to the moving image file E-1 at the center of the E column is performed.

  Furthermore, in the case where a moving image is displayed by reproduction processing of any one of the moving image files A-1 to A-5 in the A column, the smartphone 10 performs a swipe operation 26a (corresponding to the second direction operation in the upward direction as the second direction). ) Is received, the reproduction process target is changed to the moving image file B-1 in the middle of the B column arranged below the A column, and the display 12 is switched to a moving image corresponding to the moving image file B-1. In this state, when the swipe operation 26a is further received, the display 12 is switched to the moving image corresponding to the moving image file D-1 in the D column.

  As described above, when the swipe operations 26a and 26b in the vertical direction are performed to switch the reproduction processing target, the latest imaging by different users is displayed. In addition, when the swipe operation 25a or 25b in the right or left direction is performed after the swipe operation 26a or 26b in the up or down direction is performed to change the column to be reproduced, the case described in the A column Similarly, the reproduction process target is switched in each column.

  By performing such swipe operations 25a, 25b, 26a, and 26b, the user can easily perform moving images at different shooting locations by the same photographer or moving images by different photographers without displaying a plurality of thumbnails. It can be switched to.

  In addition, by performing any one of the swipe operations 25a and 25b along the horizontal direction, the moving image file (for example, the moving image file A-4 or 5) at the end arranged in the horizontal direction is set as a reproduction processing target. In this state, when the smartphone 10 further receives a swipe operation 25a or 25b and designates what is not included in the arrangement information as a reproduction target, a request for a captured moving image (column) by the user corresponding to the column If the specified moving image file request) is transmitted to the moving image management system 40 and the moving image file can be downloaded (received) in response to the request, the reproduction processing related to the newly downloaded moving image file is performed. In addition, even when a request for a captured moving image is made, if a notification that there is no moving image file of the user being subjected to playback processing is received, the moving image file at the other end (for example, from the moving image file A-4 at one end to the other moving image file) The moving image file A-5) arranged at the end is set as a playback target, and the playback processing target is rotated in a loop.

  In addition, by performing one of the vertical swipe operations 26a and 26b, a moving image file (for example, moving image file D-1 or E-1) in a column arranged in the vertical direction is set as a reproduction processing target. In this state, when the smartphone 10 further receives a swipe operation 26a or 26b and designates what is not included in the arrangement information as a playback target, a request for a captured video by a different user (a video specified by a different user) If a video file can be downloaded (received) in response to the request, a reproduction process related to the newly downloaded video file is performed. Further, when a notification that there is no moving image file is received even if a request for a captured moving image is made, the moving image file in the other column in the vertical direction (for example, moving image file E-1 or D-1) is set as a reproduction target, The playback process target is rotated in a loop.

  By performing the switching as described above, if the vertical swipe operations 26a and 26b are performed, the latest moving image captured by each user can be watched quickly, and the horizontal swipe operation 25a from the display of the latest captured moving image. , 25b, it is possible to view moving images at different imaging locations by the same user from those with a large number of downloads, enabling efficient viewing of popular moving images.

  In addition, although the description which concerns on the swipe operation (or flick operation) mentioned above is based on the display 12 of the smart phone 10 in a landscape state, also when the display process of the display 12 of the smart phone 10 is performed in a portrait state, The horizontal swipe operation (in this case, the swipe operation in the direction corresponding to the short side 12b) switches between different image pickup locations in the same user's captured moving image, and the vertical swipe operation (in this case) , A swipe operation in a direction corresponding to the long side 12a) is switched to a captured moving image by a different user. When actually performing a service, a horizontal swipe operation may be referred to as an operation for switching an imaging location and an operation with a specific name (for example, an experience switching operation). The direction swipe operation may be referred to as a user switching operation and an operation with a specific name (for example, a channel switching operation). Next, the moving image management system 40 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the moving image management system 40 basically includes a server device 50 and a database device 60. The server device 50 accepts the moving image file uploaded from the communication terminal device T1, processes to send out the moving image file to the communication terminal device T10 of the user U10 who wishes to view (processing to transmit), and the user's The database device 60 has a moving image database 65 so as to function as a storage device (storage system or storage device) of the server device 50, and stores the uploaded moving image file.

  The storage system 50g (corresponding to storage medium means) stores programs, tables, and the like. In this embodiment, the storage system 50g stores a server system program P10, a moving image service program P11, a registered user table 51, and the like.

  The server system program P10 defines various processes according to the server operating system (OS). The MPU 50a executes processes based on the specified contents, so that the server device 50 is a basic server computer. Fulfills the functions. The moving image service program P11 is stored in a recording medium such as an optical disk, and is installed in the storage system 50g via such a storage medium. Details thereof will be described later. 51 and the database device 60 will be described.

  FIG. 12 shows an outline of the contents of the registered user table 51. The registered user table 51 is a table that stores various types of information of registered users who use services related to captured moving images provided by the moving image management system 40 (services that allow uploading and downloading of captured moving images). A user ID for identifying the user is assigned (issued) to the user from the moving image management system 40, and the registered user table 51 stores various types of information in association with the assigned user ID.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the registered user table 51 stores the user's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, UID (identification information of the communication terminal device used by the user), password, etc. for each user ID. doing. Thus, the user information such as the name stored in the registered user table 51 is provided by the user at the time of user registration, and the contents of the registered user table 51 are changed according to registration of a new user or withdrawal of a registered user. It is updated appropriately by the service management side. In the present embodiment, the registered e-mail address is used as a login ID at the time of login, and the password uses alphanumeric information registered by the user at the time of user registration.

  FIG. 13 shows a schematic internal configuration of a database device 60 used as storage means (external storage means) of the server device 50. The database device 60 performs a control for organizing and storing a moving image file, required information and data in the moving image database 65, or a control for reading out a moving image file, required information and data from the moving image database 65, and the like. And a communication unit 60b serving as a communication interface with the server device 50 and the like. The moving image file or the like sent from the server device 50 is received by the communication unit 60b, stored in the moving image database 65 under the control of the DB control unit 60a, and the moving image file read from the moving image database 65 is the communication unit. 60b is passed to the server device 50.

  The moving image database 65 included in the database device 60 includes an original moving image storage unit 66 and a distribution moving image storage unit 67. The original moving image storage unit 66 stores a moving image file (original captured moving image file) uploaded from the communication terminal device, and the distributed moving image storage unit 67 stores a moving image file to be downloaded.

  FIG. 14 shows an outline of the contents of the original moving image storage unit 66. The original moving image storage unit 66 uploads a moving image file (FIG. 8) uploaded from a communication terminal device (for example, the communication terminal device T <b> 1 illustrated in FIG. 1) of the user (for example, the user U <b> 1 illustrated in FIG. 1) via the server device 50. Are stored for each user ID (upload date and time are also stored). Note that the user ID included in the original moving image storage unit 66 corresponds to the user ID of the registered user table 51 described above, and the user ID included in the registered user table 51 is linked to the original moving image storage unit 66 as well. Stored. In the present invention, the original moving image storage unit 66 is provided in the moving image database 60 as described above, whereby the uploaded captured moving image file is stored as it is and can be used as a backup.

  FIG. 15 shows an outline of the contents of the distribution moving image storage unit 67. The distribution moving image storage unit 67 stores moving image files (edited moving image files or captured moving image files) to be downloaded for each user ID. The user ID included in the distribution video storage unit 67 also corresponds to the user ID of the registered user table 51 described above, and the user ID included in the registration user table 51 is also linked to the distribution video storage unit 67. Stored.

  In addition, the distribution video storage unit 67 associates an imaging tag and a download count item with the video file stored for each user. The imaging tag is an item corresponding to the imaging location name included in the meta information of the stored video file, and when the new video file is stored in the distribution video storage unit 67, the imaging location name is an item of the imaging tag. Is remembered as Further, in the download count item, every time a moving image file is read out from the distributed moving image storage unit 67, the DB control unit 60a counts, and a numerical value of the counted number is stored.

  A unique URL is assigned by the DB control unit 60a to the storage location of each moving image file (edited moving image file or captured moving image file) stored in the distribution moving image storage unit 67, and based on this unique URL. Each moving image file is read out. The unique URL is obtained by adding information identifying the user (information representing a user name in Roman letters or a user ID) to an alphabetic name corresponding to the imaging moving image service.

  Next, the moving image service program P11 stored in the storage unit 50g of the server device 50 will be described. The moving image service program P11 defines processing contents that the MPU 50a performs as various means in order for the server device 50 to provide a moving image service. The processing contents defined by the moving image service program P11 mainly include processing related to login, processing related to uploading of moving image files, generation processing of edited moving image files, processing related to downloading of moving image files, and the like.

  Login processing (login request information including the user's email address and password) sent from the communication terminal device (communication terminal devices T1, T10, etc. in FIG. 1) as a user login operation When the server device 50 receives the communication module 50b, the MPU 50a performs processing for detecting whether or not the registered user table 51 includes the email address and password included in the received login information according to the rules of the video service program P11. .

  When the MPU 50a detects that the email address and password are not included in the registered user table 51, the MPU 50a performs a control process in which login is disabled and a login failure notification is transmitted to the communication terminal device that transmitted the login information. On the other hand, when the MPU 50a detects that the e-mail address and password are included in the registered user table 51, the login is completed, and the user ID of the user who has completed the login is stored in the RAM 50c or the storage system 50g and the login is in progress. Hold.

  Further, as processing related to uploading of a moving image file, when the server device 50 receives a moving image file (captured moving image file) uploaded from a communication terminal device of a logged-in user by the communication module 50b, the captured moving image file is converted into a moving image file. The MPU 50a performs a process of storing the original moving image storage unit 66 in the database 65 in association with the logged-in user ID. By performing such processing, the MPU 50a causes the original moving image storage unit 66 of the moving image database 65 to capture the captured moving image in association with each user ID by the database device 60 (DB control unit 60a) as shown in FIG. A file is stored.

  In addition, regarding the uploaded captured moving image file, the MPU 50a stores the distributed moving image stored in the moving image database 65 with the same image capturing location name (corresponding to the captured image tag attached to the moving image file) included in the meta information of the captured moving image file. MPU 50a detects whether it is stored in each item of the imaging tag of unit 67, and when the same cannot be detected, MPU 50a logs the uploaded video file into the distribution video storage unit 67 in video database 65 and the user ID being logged in Is stored in association with the captured moving image file, and the image capturing location name assigned to the stored moving image file is stored in the imaging tag item. The captured moving image file is also stored in the distribution moving image storage unit 67 by such processing of the MPU 50a. When a moving image file is newly stored in this way, a unique URL is attached to this new storage location.

  Further, an edited moving image file generation process is performed in association with the above-described processing related to uploading of the captured moving image file. That is, for the uploaded captured moving image file, the MPU 50a associates the same name as the captured location name attached to the captured moving image file with the logged-in user ID that uploaded the captured moving image file. If it is detected from the plurality of moving image files stored in the distributed moving image storage unit 67 that the image capturing tag is associated with each moving image file, the image capturing location name of the detected image capturing tag is detected. The video file associated with is specified as an editing process target (corresponding to detection of a video file). Then, the MPU 50a generates one new moving image file (referred to as an edited moving image file) related to the edited moving image by performing processing for combining the uploaded moving image file and the moving image file detected (specified) as the editing processing target. To do. At this time, the imaging tag attached to the moving image file used for the combination is directly attached to the newly generated edited moving image file.

  FIG. 16A shows a case where the captured moving image file f10 stored in the distributed moving image storage unit 67 is detected by the MPU 50a as an editing process target, and is combined with the uploaded captured moving image file f1 to create one edited moving image file. An overview of the situation in which Fh1 is generated is shown. In the case shown in FIG. 16A, the captured moving image files are combined, and the structure of the edited moving image file Fh1 generated by this combination is basically the same as that of the captured moving image file 30 shown in FIG. It has become.

  That is, the generated edited moving image file Fh1 also includes meta information and content data. The meta information of the edited moving image file Fh1 has contents including the meta information of the two captured moving image files f1 and f10. Accordingly, the edited moving image file Fh1 includes the image capturing tags ( (Imaging location name) is added. The content data of the edited video file Fh1 is a combination of the content data of the captured video file f1 and the content data of the captured video file f10. When the edited video file Fh1 is played back, the edited video file Fh1 The content data portion of the captured moving image file f1 in the content data (the portion corresponding to the newly captured moving image) is reproduced first, and then the content data portion of the combined moving image file f10 (imaged) The part corresponding to the old video compared to the newly uploaded date and time) is reproduced.

  If the content data of the captured moving image file f1 is a moving image of about 10 seconds and the content data of the captured moving image file f10 is a moving image of about 20 seconds, the generated moving image related to the edited moving image file Fh1 has a content of about 30 seconds. become. Further, the file name of the edited moving image file Fh1 is a combination of the file names of the combined moving image files f1 and f10. For example, the file name of the uploaded moving image file f1 is xyz. . mp4, and the file name of the captured moving image file f10 is 2z1. mp4, the file name of the generated edited moving image file Fh1 is xyz2z1. mp4 (the file name of the uploaded imaging file f1 is arranged first, and the file name of the stored imaging moving image file f10 is arranged next).

  Then, the generated edited moving image file Fh1 is stored in the distributed moving image storage unit 67 in place of the captured moving image file f10 that has already been stored as the combination partner, whereby the stored captured moving image file f10 is stored. The same shooting location name as that of the imaging tag is associated with the edited moving image file Fh1, and the number of downloads associated with the stored captured moving image file f10 is also transferred to the newly generated edited moving image file Fh1. It is.

  FIG. 16B shows a case where the edited moving image file Fh10 stored in the distribution moving image storage unit 67 is detected by the MPU 50a as an editing processing target, and is combined with the uploaded captured moving image file f11. An outline of a situation in which the edited moving image file Fh20 is generated is shown. The generated edited moving image file Fh20 has the same structure as the edited moving image file Fh1 shown in FIG. 16A, includes meta information and content data, and the meta information of the edited moving image file Fh20 is the captured moving image file f11. The content includes meta information and meta information of the edited moving image file Fh10. Thereby, the edited moving image file Fh20 is in a state where the imaging tags of the captured moving image file f11 and the edited moving image file Fh10 are attached.

  The content data of the edited video file Fh20 is a combination of the content data of the captured video file f11 and the content data of the edited video file Fh10. Similarly to the edited video file Fh1 shown in FIG. When the edited moving image file Fh20 is reproduced, the content data portion of the captured moving image file f11 in the content data of the edited moving image file Fh20 is reproduced first, and then the content data of the edited moving image file Fh10 that is the combination partner. This part is generated to be played back. If the content data of the captured video file f11 is about 15 seconds and the content data of the edited video file Fh10 is about 30 seconds, the video related to the generated edited video file Fh20 is about 45 seconds of content. become.

  In addition, the newly generated edited moving image file Fh20 is stored in the distributed moving image storage unit 67 in place of the already stored edited moving image file Fh10, whereby the stored edited moving image file Fh1 is stored. The same imaging location name as the imaging tag is associated with the edited moving image file Fh20, and the number of downloads associated with the stored edited moving image file Fh10 is also taken over by the newly generated edited moving image file Fh20. It is.

  Furthermore, the processing related to the downloading of the moving image file is basically performed when the login is completed in the processing related to the above-described login, and the MPU 50a stores the moving image file of the user who has completed the login. The plurality of moving image files are read from the moving image database 65 included in the database device 60, information specifying the arrangement related to the reproduction order (arrangement information) is generated, and the plurality of moving image files and the arrangement information are stored in the login information transmission source. Control processing to be transmitted to the communication terminal device is performed.

  In reading a moving image file from the moving image database 65, the MPU 50 a first stores a moving image file (edited moving image file or stored in the distribution moving image storage unit 67 in the moving image database 65 in association with the logged-in user ID). (Captured movie file). At this time, the MPU 50a reads out the moving image file (edited moving image file or captured moving image file) including the latest shooting date and time in the meta information, and first plays the moving image file (edited moving image file or captured moving image file) of the latest captured date and time. This is defined by the arrangement information to be generated.

  Then, the MPU 50a sequentially reads out the video files stored in the distribution video storage unit 67 in association with the logged-in user ID and having a large number of downloads. At this time, as a file having a large number of downloads, reading is performed except for a moving image file to be reproduced first (a file including the latest imaging date and time). Then, the MPU 50a arranges the read moving image files in the vicinity of the moving image file to be reproduced first, from the one with the highest number of downloads, so that it can be sequentially reproduced according to the user operation (for example, swipe operation). To be included in the generated arrangement information. In the present embodiment, as the moving image file associated with the logged-in user ID, a total of five moving image files are initially read. However, the distribution moving image storage unit 67 stores the logged-in user ID as a logged-in user ID. When a total of five moving image files are not stored in association with each other, all moving image files stored in association with the logged-in user ID are read out.

  By the above-described reading process of the moving image file associated with the logged-in user ID, for example, the moving image files A-1 to A-5 corresponding to the moving images captured by the same user in the middle row A in the vertical direction illustrated in FIG. Will be read out. As described above, the moving image file A-1 arranged in the middle row of the A column is a moving image file having the latest imaging date and time, and the first reproduction is designated in the arrangement information. Then, as described above, the arrangement information defines that the remaining moving image files A-2 to A-5 are sequentially arranged according to the number of downloads.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as a video file to be downloaded, a video file associated with five different user IDs is read, and the video file associated with the above-described logged-in user ID In addition to reading, the moving image file (edited moving image file or captured moving image file) of the user ID corresponding to the moving image file with a large number of downloads indicated by the distribution moving image storage unit 67 is sequentially read.

  That is, the MPU 50a detects the largest number of downloads from the distribution video storage unit 67 associated with a user ID that is different from the user ID that has already been read, and corresponds to the detected number of downloads. The attached user ID is specified. Then, the moving image file (edited moving image file or captured moving image file) associated with the identified user ID is distributed to the distributed moving image storage unit as in the case of reading the moving image file associated with the logged-in user ID. The information is read from 67 and included in the download target, and the contents defined in the arrangement relation related to the reproduction order are included in the arrangement information.

  By performing the reading process as described above in the order of the users who have captured the moving image files with the highest number of downloads, as shown in FIG. 10, the download target including moving image files (edited moving image files or captured moving image files) by a plurality of users can be obtained. As a group of moving image files are specified, the arrangement relation related to the reproduction order is determined, and the MPU 50a generates arrangement information indicating the arrangement relation defining the reproduction order, and the download target is displayed together with the generated arrangement information. A group of moving image files (for example, the moving image file shown in FIG. 10) specified and read from the distribution moving image storage unit 67 is transmitted to the communication terminal device of the user who has completed the login.

  The generated arrangement information is temporarily stored in the RAM 50c or the storage system 50g in association with the logged-in user ID so that the server device 50 (MPU 50a) can check the transmitted video file. . In this embodiment, the number of users to be read at one time is set to five as shown in FIG. 10, but if the storage state in the distribution video storage unit 67 is less than five, All users are subject to reading.

  By using the arrangement as specified in the arrangement information as described above, the downloaded communication terminal device first plays and displays the latest video of the user who uses the communication terminal device. When a swipe operation (see swipe operations 25a and 25b in FIG. 9) is performed, a moving image by the user who has downloaded a large number of times can be reproduced and displayed, and the moving image uploaded by the user can be confirmed smoothly.

  When the user's own captured video is played back and displayed, if the vertical swipe operation (see swipe operations 26a and 26b in FIG. 9) is performed, Since the latest one is reproduced and displayed, it is possible to efficiently check the moving image captured by another popular user. In addition, if a swipe operation in the left-right direction (see swipe operations 25a and 25b in FIG. 9) is performed while a captured moving image by another user is being played back and displayed, the number of downloads among the captured moving images by other users will increase. Since many captured moving images are reproduced and displayed in order, popular captured moving images can be smoothly confirmed among captured moving images by other users being displayed. When there is no moving image file associated with the logged-in user ID in the distributed moving image storage unit 67, the moving image file associated with the user ID having a large number of downloads is to be read, and is played back first. The designated moving image file is the latest moving image file associated with the user ID having the largest number of downloads.

  In addition, the above-described reading and downloading of the moving image file is processing when the login is completed, but in addition to this, the moving image file whose reproduction processing target is indicated by the arrangement information in accordance with the swipe operation in the communication terminal device When the video file request is exceeded, as described above, the video file request is sent from the communication terminal device to the server device 50. Therefore, even when the server device 50 receives such a video file request, reading and downloading of the video file is performed. Processing related to is performed.

  When the server apparatus 50 receives the column-specified moving image file request, the MPU 50a refers to the arrangement information stored in the RAM 50c or the storage system 50g, and sets the user ID corresponding to the column indicated in the received moving image file request. The associated moving image file is identified and read out from the distribution moving image storage unit 67, and the read moving image file is transmitted to the communication terminal device that is the transmission source of the moving image file request. In this case as well, the MPU 50a identifies the video file having the highest number of downloads. In this embodiment, the video file having the fourth highest number of downloads is transmitted based on the arrangement information, except for the latest video. Therefore, the MPU 50a performs a process of specifying the fifth and subsequent moving image files (one or a plurality of moving image files), reading them from the distributed moving image storage unit 67, and transmitting them to the communication terminal device that requested the moving image file. Further, when the fifth and subsequent moving image files are not stored in the distributed moving image storage unit 67, the MPU 50a performs a process of transmitting a notification that there is no moving image file to the communication terminal device that requested the moving image file.

  When the server device 50 receives a moving image file request specified by a different user, the MPU 50a refers to the stored arrangement information and stores a user ID having the next highest number of downloads for each user that has already been distributed. Each moving image file identified from the unit 67 and associated with the identified user ID is identified and read in the same manner as described above, and is transmitted to the communication terminal device that is the transmission source of the moving image file request. Note that when a moving image file relating to a different user is not stored in the distribution moving image storage unit 67 as a read target, the MPU 50a performs a process of transmitting a notification that there is no moving image file to the communication terminal device that requested the moving image file. Do. In response to the additional moving image file request as described above, the server device 50 appropriately transmits the moving image file to the communication terminal device. Therefore, if the user of the communication terminal device performs a flick operation in each direction, various moving image files are requested. Can be viewed as appropriate.

  Next, a login process, an upload process, and the like by the communication terminal device (for example, the communication terminal device T1 of the user U1 shown in FIG. 1) and the server device 50 of the video management system 40 in the imaging moving image service system 1 having the above-described configuration. A series of processing contents of the captured moving image management method related to the above will be described in the first to third flowcharts of FIGS.

  The first flowchart in FIG. 17 shows a processing procedure after the user logs in to the moving image management system 40 using the communication terminal device. This first flowchart shows a situation that starts from a state in which a home screen of a communication terminal device (for example, the smartphone 10) is displayed. First, among the icons included in the home screen, the icon for the video application P2 is a user. The communication terminal device determines whether or not it is selected by (S1). When the icon for the video application P2 is not selected (S1: NO), the user enters a state of waiting for an icon selection, and when the icon is selected (S1: YES), the communication terminal apparatus is shown in FIG. A login screen 20 is displayed on the display 12 (S2).

  Then, the communication terminal device (CPU 10a of the smartphone 10) determines whether or not a login operation such as an email address input operation, a password input operation, and a login button 20c tap has been performed on the login screen 20 (S3). . If there is no login operation (S3: NO), the login operation is waited. If there is a login operation (S3: YES), the user's login information (the input e-mail address and password, and the user terminal are displayed). The communication terminal device transmits information including the UID to be identified) to the server device 50 of the moving image management system 40 (S4).

  On the other hand, the server device 50 (MPU 50a) of the video management system 40 determines whether or not the login information sent from the communication terminal device has been received in the first stage (S10), and if not received (S10 : NO), it enters a state of waiting for reception. Further, when the login information is received (S10: YES), is there a match among the information stored in the registered user table 51 shown in FIG. 12 regarding the email address, password, etc. included in the received login information? The server device 50 determines whether or not (S11). When the matching information is not stored (S11: NO), the server device 50 transmits a login failure notification to the communication terminal device that is the transmission source of the login information (S12).

  Further, when information matching the login information is stored in the registered user table 51 (S11: YES), the login is completed, and the user ID of the user who has completed the login is stored in the RAM 50c or the like to set the login completion. The MPU 50a performs (S13). Then, as described above, the MPU 50a reads a plurality of moving image files centering on the moving image file associated with the logged-in user ID from the distributed moving image storage unit 67 of the moving image database 65 of the database device 60 (S14). As described above, the MPU 50a generates the arrangement information related to the reproduction order for the plurality of read moving image files (see FIG. 10). Then, the MPU 50a performs a process of transmitting the read group of moving image files together with the arrangement information to the communication terminal device used by the logged-in user (S15).

  The communication terminal device (CPU 10a) determines whether or not a login failure notification has been received after transmitting login information in the stage of S4 (S5). When a login failure notification is received (S5: YES) Returning to the stage of S2, the login screen 20 is again displayed on the display 12, and the user is presented with an opportunity to input correct login information. When the login screen 20 is displayed again, it is preferable that the login screen 20 indicates that the input login information is not correct, etc., and alerts the user.

  If the login disapproval notification is not received (S5: NO), the communication terminal device (CPU 10a) then determines whether or not a group of a plurality of video files has been received (downloaded) (S6). Is not received (S6: NO), the process returns to the step S5, and it is determined again whether or not a login failure notification has been received.

  On the other hand, when receiving the moving image file (S6: YES), the communication terminal device (CPU 10a) temporarily stores the received moving image file in the RAM 10c or the like (S7). When a moving image file is received, the arrangement information sent together with the moving image file is also received, and the communication terminal apparatus associates the received arrangement information with the received group of moving image files, such as the RAM 10c. To remember. Then, the communication terminal device refers to the received arrangement information, identifies the video file to be played first (video file including the latest captured video by the logged-in user) from the received video files, and The specified moving image file is reproduced (S8), and as shown in the main screen 21 of FIG. 5, the moving image D corresponding to the moving image file to be reproduced is displayed on the display 12 in the form of full screen display (S9). ).

  If the user logs in through the series of processes as described above, the latest captured moving image by the user is automatically played back. Therefore, the present invention has an advantage that the moving image can be smoothly viewed. Moreover, since the moving image to be reproduced is displayed on the entire screen on the display 12, the moving image content can be confirmed in detail even when a smartphone having a small screen size is used as the communication terminal device. In addition, when the captured video by the user is not uploaded, the latest captured video by the user with the highest number of downloads is displayed in full screen. In this case, the popular captured video can be checked smoothly at that time. It will be possible.

  FIG. 18 is a second flowchart showing a series of processing procedures relating to switching of a moving image to be reproduced and displayed. Processing contents continued from the stage (S9) in which moving image D is displayed on the communication terminal device in the first flowchart described above. become. Whether or not the communication terminal device (CPU 10a) has accepted the switching operation of the display target (reproduction target) by the user according to the swipe operations 25a, 25b, 26a, and 26b in each direction shown in FIG. Judgment is made (S20). When the switching operation is not received (S20: NO), the switching operation wait state is entered. When the switching operation is received (S20: YES), the communication terminal device stores the switching target moving image file in the RAM 10c or the like. It is determined with reference to the arrangement information (S21).

  In this case, for example, when the flick operation 25a is accepted during the reproduction of the moving image file A-1 in the arrangement state of the moving image file shown in FIG. 10, the switching target of the reproduction process is the moving image file A-3. Since A-3 is included in a group of moving image files that are downloaded when login is completed, A-3 is stored in the RAM 10c or the like. On the other hand, for example, when the flick operation 25b is received during the reproduction of the moving image file A-4 shown in FIG. 10, the existence of the arrangement of the moving image file is not defined on the right side of the moving image file A-4. In such a case, the communication terminal device (CPU 10a) determines that the moving image file to be switched is not stored.

  When the moving image file to be switched is stored (S21: YES), the communication terminal apparatus performs a reproduction process on the stored moving image file (S27), and the moving image obtained by the reproduction process is performed. Is displayed on the display 12 (S28). On the other hand, when the moving image file to be switched is not stored (S21: NO), the communication terminal apparatus issues a moving image file request (a request for a moving image file specified by a column or a different user) related to the arrangement according to the swipe operation. It transmits to the server device 50 (S22).

  In the second flowchart, the server device 50 is in a state of determining whether or not a moving image file request has been received from the communication terminal device (S30), and when the moving image file request has not been received (S30: NO). If the moving image file request is received and the moving image file request is received (S30: YES), is the moving image file corresponding to the received moving image file request stored in the distributed moving image storage unit 67 of the moving image database 65? The communication terminal apparatus detects whether or not (S31).

  In the detection of the storage of the moving image file in the step of S31, for example, when a column-specified moving image file request is received, all the moving image files associated with the user ID related to the specified column are transmitted when the login is completed. If so, no more video files are stored in the distribution video storage unit 67 of the video database 65. In such a case, the request target video file is stored at the stage of determination of the detection result (S32). It is determined that it is not present (S32: NO). On the other hand, if 6 or more moving image files associated with the user ID related to the designated column are stored in the distributed moving image storage unit 67, the present embodiment is configured to transmit a total of 5 moving image files when login is completed. Therefore, in this case, since at least one moving image file has not been transmitted, it is determined from the detection result that the untransmitted moving image file is stored (S32: YES).

  And when the moving image file according to a moving image file request | requirement is memorize | stored (S32: YES), the server apparatus 50 reads the moving image file from the delivery moving image storage part 67 of the moving image database 65, and transmits to a communication terminal device ( S33). On the other hand, when the moving image file corresponding to the moving image file request is not stored (S32: NO), the server device 50 transmits a notification that there is no requested moving image file (notifying moving image file) to the communication terminal device. (S34).

  The communication terminal device (CPU 10a) determines whether or not the moving image file has been received (downloaded) after transmitting the moving image file request in step S22 (S23). If the moving image file is received (S23: YES) ), The newly received moving image file is stored in the RAM 10c or the like (S24), and thereafter, the process proceeds to the above-described steps S27 and S28, and the reproduction process of the new moving image file is performed. Display video. By such processing, a moving image related to a moving image file that is not included in the download at the time of login can be appropriately displayed by a swipe operation (flick operation) on the display 12.

  Further, when the moving image file is not received (S23: NO), the communication terminal device next determines whether or not the moving image file absence notification is received (S25), and when the moving image file absence notification is not received (S25: NO). ), The process returns to the above-described step S23. On the other hand, when the notification that there is no moving image file is received (S25: YES), the communication terminal device identifies the moving image file to be reproduced from being stored in the RAM 10c or the like so as to loop in the arrangement shown in FIG. After that, the processes of S27 and S28 described above are performed on the specified moving image file, and the moving image related to the specified moving image file is displayed on the display 12.

  As described above, when the user performs the swipe operation 25a, 25b, 26a, or 26b in any direction during the moving image display, the communication terminal device (CPU 10a) selects the moving image file to be played back according to the swipe operation. Since the moving image displayed on the display 12 by switching the playback target is specified by referring to the arrangement information, each moving image having a large number of downloads can be efficiently viewed. When the playback target exceeds the range of the downloaded video file by further swiping operation, the communication terminal device transmits a video file request to the server device 50 and receives (downloads) the video file according to the request from the server device 50. ), The moving image file is reproduced and the moving image is displayed. Therefore, even if the full screen display is performed on the display 12, various moving images can be appropriately switched and displayed.

  The third flowchart shown in FIG. 19 is an arrangement of a series of processes related to imaging and uploading. In the first flowchart, the process from the state where the login is completed and the moving image D is displayed on the display 12 is performed. Show. First, in the communication terminal device (CPU 10a), when the camera icon 21b (see FIG. 6A) shown by touching the main screen 21 is tapped, the display 12 of the display 12 is switched to the imaging screen 22. Then, it is determined whether or not an imaging operation by the user that the imaging start icon 22b (see FIG. 6B) is tapped has been received (S40). When the imaging operation is not accepted (S40: NO), the imaging operation is waited.

  When receiving an imaging operation (S40: YES), the communication terminal apparatus performs an imaging process (S41). In the imaging process, the communication terminal apparatus also performs an acquisition process of the imaging location name according to the latitude and longitude detected by the GPS unit 10h. Then, the communication terminal apparatus determines whether or not an imaging stop operation by the user that the imaging stop icon 23a (see FIG. 7A) is tapped has been received (S42). When the imaging stop operation has not been received (S42: NO), the process returns to the step S41 and the imaging process is continued.

And when imaging stop operation is received (S42: YES), a communication terminal device is next,
It is determined whether or not an upload operation by the user that the upload icon 24b is tapped has been received (S43). When the upload operation is not accepted (S43: NO), the upload operation is waited.

  When an upload operation is accepted (S43: YES), the communication terminal device has content data based on the captured video and a video file having meta information including imaging status information such as an imaging location name related to the imaging tag (FIG. 8) (S44), and uploads (transmits) the generated moving image file to the server device 50 (S45). The processing from imaging to uploading on the communication terminal device side is temporarily terminated at this stage, and the subsequent processing on the communication terminal device side is the state before the imaging operation (display state of the playback video, for example, S9 in the first flowchart). It will return to the stage.

  In the third flowchart, the server device 50 determines whether or not the video file to be uploaded has been received in the first stage (S50) (S50). If the upload has not been received (S50: NO), when waiting for reception and receiving an upload (S50: YES), the received moving image file (captured moving image file) is associated with the logged-in user ID in the original moving image storage unit 66 of the moving image database 65. The storing process is performed (S51).

  Then, the server device 50 has the same name as the imaging location name of the meta information attached to the received video file in the imaging tag associated with the logged-in user ID in the distribution video storage unit 67 of the video database 65. Whether it is stored in each item is detected (S52). If it is not detected that the same name is stored (S52: NO), the received moving image file is stored in the distributed moving image storage unit 67 in association with the logged-in user ID (S53). At this time, a process of storing the imaging location name attached to the moving image file to be stored in the meta information item in association with the moving image file to be stored is also performed. If the same name is not detected (S52: NO), the storage process at the stage of S53 is performed to temporarily end the process on the server device 50 side for the uploaded moving image process.

  If it is detected that the same name is stored (S52: YES), the moving image file (captured moving image file or edited moving image file) stored in the distribution moving image storage unit 67 in association with the same name is edited. The server device 50 (MPU 50a) is detected and specified as a processing target (S54). Then, the server device 50 (MPU 50a) performs processing for combining the received moving image file with the specified moving image file to generate one edited moving image file (S55), and identifies the generated moving image file as the specified moving image file. Instead of the file, a process of storing in the distribution moving image storage unit 67 is performed (S56). In the case where the same name is detected (S52: YES), the storage processing at the stage of S56 is performed to temporarily end the processing on the server device 50 side for the uploaded moving image processing.

  In this way, the server device performs the above-described processing for uploading the video file from the communication terminal device, and uploads if the video related to the uploaded video file is the first imaging location by the user who has captured the image. Since the moving image file is stored as it is for downloading, an opportunity to publish a moving image captured at a new imaging location can be secured. In addition, if the video related to the uploaded video file has been captured by the user who has taken the image, the edited video file is combined with the video file that was previously captured and the edited video file. Therefore, it is possible to automatically organize moving images at the same imaging location and provide an opportunity to efficiently and smoothly view moving images at the same imaging location.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the form mentioned above, Various modifications can be assumed. For example, when generating an edited video file, various information other than using an imaging location name as an imaging tag in detection and specific processing of a video file to be combined with an uploaded video file (imaging video file) It is possible to use. Specifically, it is possible to use numerical values of latitude and longitude, altitude (altitude), etc., as information relating to the imaging location (imaging status information), and further to imaging of weather, temperature, humidity, etc. other than the location Conditions, odor at the time of imaging, vibration, tilt, camera information (imaging lens specifications), etc. can also be used. Furthermore, when analyzing captured video content etc., information indicating the object shown in the video ( A house, person, dog, etc.) can also be used for the imaging tag.

  When using latitude and longitude numerical values as the imaging tag for detection, the numerical value of latitude and longitude detected at the time of imaging by the GPS unit 10h is included in the meta information of the uploaded video file and attached to the video file. In addition, when detecting the target to be combined, if you limit the detection target to only the same numerical value, it will be impossible to detect the partner, so a movie file that contains numerical values within a predetermined range from the latitude and longitude values Are detected as the same imaging location. In this way, if detection is performed using latitude and longitude, there is an advantage that processing such as acquisition of an imaging location name can be omitted.

  Further, when using the altitude (altitude) of the imaging location as an imaging tag for detection, an altitude detection unit is provided in the communication terminal device (for example, the smartphone 10), and the numerical value of the altitude at the time of imaging is detected and detected. Include altitude values in the meta information of uploaded video files. When detecting the binding partner, as in the case of the latitude and longitude described above, if the detection target is limited to only the same numerical value, it becomes difficult to detect, so the numerical value of the detected elevation is about plus or minus 1 to 4 m. The difference will be detected as the same altitude. If the detection is performed at the altitude in this way, there is a merit that a moving image of the same level can be smoothly edited when imaging is performed at a mountain or a highland.

  Further, when weather is used as an imaging tag for detection, a weather detection unit is provided in the communication terminal device (for example, the smartphone 10) to detect the weather at the time of imaging (sunny, cloudy, rain, snow, etc.). It will be. If detection is performed using the detected weather in this way, there is an advantage that the contents of the moving image of the edited moving image file to be generated can be collected with the same weather. Furthermore, when temperature, humidity, etc. are used as an imaging tag for detection, a detection unit for temperature, humidity, etc. is provided in the communication terminal device (for example, the smartphone 10), and numerical values such as temperature, humidity, etc. at the time of imaging are detected. Will do.

  In addition, when using the odor, vibration, inclination, etc. at the time of imaging as the imaging tag for detection, a unit for detecting the odor, vibration, inclination, etc. is provided in the communication terminal device (for example, the smartphone 10), It detects odors, vibrations, tilts, etc. Further, when camera information related to the specifications of the imaging lens is used as the imaging tag for detection, since the specifications of these imaging lenses are known in advance, information indicating the known specifications is stored in the RAM 10c. Alternatively, when a moving image is captured in the ROM 10d or the like, information such as the specifications of the imaging camera stored in the RAM 10c or the like is read out and included in the meta information of the generated moving image file.

  And when using the information which shows the object reflected in the moving image (the house, the person, the dog etc. are reflected) as the imaging tag for detection, the storage unit of the communication terminal device (for example, the smartphone 10) In 10k, when an object extraction application (application program) that specifies processing for extracting an object appearing in a moving image is installed and a moving image is captured, the object extraction application is activated and the object appearing in the moving image Is extracted and specified by the CPU 10a, and the specified result (information indicating the specified object) is included in the meta information of the video file to be uploaded. In this way, the content of the moving image by the generated edited moving image file is for the same object, and the captured moving image can be viewed for each object.

  Each example described above that can be used as an imaging tag for detection can also be used in combination as appropriate, for example, by combining latitude and longitude with elevation, or by combining elevation and temperature, You may enable it to further narrow down the moving image file to be edited.

  Furthermore, in addition to automatically detecting / acquiring an imaging tag for detection, it is also possible to adopt a specification in which an imaging tag is input by a user who performs imaging. In this case, a text input field is displayed on the imaging screen 22 shown in FIG. 6B or the imaging completion screen 24 shown in FIG. 7B, and a soft keyboard is displayed on the display 12 by the function of the OS program P1. The communication terminal device (CPU 10a) accepts the information input in the text input field as an imaging tag and attaches it to the video file to be generated by appropriately operating the soft keyboard by the user (input to the meta information). Include imaging tags). If user input information is used as an imaging tag indicating the imaging status in this way, a variety of expressions can be used for the imaging tag. For example, “Mr. A ’s wedding secondary party”, “children ’s athletic meet”, etc. Event and event names can be applied to imaging tags.

  In addition, when inputting an imaging tag by a user operation as described above, information may be input in a hash tag format. When an imaging tag is input in such a hash tag format, a moving partner's video file is stored as a hash tag. In addition, when the server device 50 detects and specifies a group of a plurality of moving image files to be downloaded as shown in FIG. There is also a merit that video files can be detected. Furthermore, for a user who wants to view a moving image, by inputting the hash tag, the moving image that the user wants to view can be specified by the hash tag, and it becomes easy to narrow down the moving image that the user wants to view.

  For example, in the main screen 21 displaying various menus shown in FIG. 6A, an input field for inputting an imaging tag to be viewed is provided, and a soft keyboard is displayed on the display 12 by the function of the OS program P1. The server device 50 searches the distribution moving image storage unit 67 for the imaging tag in the hash tag format with the information input in the text input field, and specifies the moving image file hit by the search as the download target. You may do it.

  In addition, instead of using a soft keyboard, voice input can also be applied to input information by the user. In this case, the user emits information indicating an imaging tag by voice, and the communication terminal device is the user. Is acquired by the microphone 14, and the acquired voice is converted into text, and the converted text (character string) is used to detect a partner to join and search for a moving image to be viewed. When such voice input is applied, it can be assumed that the imaging tag (imaging location name) is displayed so as to be superimposed on the reproduced moving image by asking the user's voice.

  For example, if a user utters a voice “here where” during playback and display of a moving image on the communication terminal device, the communication terminal device acquires the voice with the microphone 24 and uses the acquired voice “here”. Recognize that the sound is converted to text, interpret the meaning, and inquire about the shooting location of the video, and using that recognition as a trigger, the shooting location name attached to the video file associated with the video being played A process of displaying on the display 12 is performed. By performing such processing, the user can easily confirm the imaging location of the captured moving image that he / she was interested in.

  In the above description, the edited moving image file is generated by combining the moving image files associated with the same user ID. However, the edited moving image file is combined with the moving image files associated with different user IDs. May be generated. In this way, when an edited video file is generated by combining video files related to different user IDs, among videos captured by various users, videos with the same imaging tag can be viewed continuously. Each moving image taken by different users can be compared and enjoyed. The edited moving image file generated by the moving image file related to the different user ID is stored in the distributed moving image storage unit 67 in association with each user ID related to each moving image file used for the combination, and from each user ID. It is preferable to be able to read.

  Furthermore, in the above description, the edited moving image file is played back in the order from the moving image file with the new shooting date and time to the moving image file with the old shooting date and time with respect to the moving image file used for combining. Contrary to this, conversely, at the time of playback, multiple video files are combined so that they are played back in order from the captured video part of the old imaging date and time to the captured video part of the new imaging date and time. It is also possible to generate an edited moving image file. However, when playing back in this order, when the edited movie file to be played is edited with a large number of movie files, or when the shooting time of an old movie file with a long shooting time is long, the movie with the new shooting date and time is used. Since it takes time to display and display the video, the playback time of the moving image portion related to each moving image file constituting the edited moving image file is set as a reference time (for example, a predetermined time within a range of 10 to 30 seconds). In addition, each moving image file may be displayed by automatically and sequentially switching the portion of each moving image file to be reproduced at the reference time.

  Furthermore, in the playback process of the edited video file, the switching of the video part by each video file included in the edited video file is performed based on the above-described reference time, and the frequency characteristics of the audio related to the video are detected and detected. The moving image portion of the moving image file to be reproduced may be switched at a location that is a singular point of the frequency characteristics. In other words, the singular point of the frequency characteristic related to the audio etc. included in the moving image is often a scene where the contents of the moving image are switched, so by switching the playback target at the singular point of the frequency characteristic in this way , The playback target can be switched to the next video file at a point where the content of the video is well cut. In addition, in order to switch the playback target at the singular point of the frequency characteristic, the frequency characteristic is detected in advance for the audio included in the moving image corresponding to each moving image file to identify the singular point, and the identified singular point is moved to the moving image file. It is necessary to store them in the distribution moving image storage unit 67 as a set, and the server device 50 performs such frequency characteristic detection and singularity specification processing.

  Further, regarding the way of arranging a group of a plurality of moving image files to be downloaded from the server device 50 (see FIG. 10), in the above description, the arrangement is such that the files are easily played back in descending order of the number of downloads. For example, the arrangement order according to the viewing preference of the user may be applied. Thus, when reflecting a user's viewing preference in the arrangement | sequence order, the imaging tag of the moving image file which the user watched is recorded as a user's viewing history.

  FIG. 20 shows a modified registered user table 151, which is different from the registered user table 51 shown in FIG. 12 in that a viewing history (imaging tag) column is added. When the server device (MPU 50a) transmits the moving image file to the communication terminal device, the user ID of the user who becomes the communication terminal device of the transmission destination is displayed with the imaging tag (for example, the imaging location name) attached to the transmitted moving image file. Correspondingly, the registered user table 151 of the modified example of FIG. By continuing to store such a viewing history, it becomes possible to specify the viewing preference of the user from the stored imaging tag.

  The server device 50 refers to the registered user table 151 of the modification, identifies the order of the most imaging locations for the contents of each imaging tag associated with the user ID that is the transmission destination, and determines the order of the most imaging locations. Then, the moving image file is detected from the distributed moving image storage unit 67, read out, and transmitted as a group of moving image files to be transmitted. For example, for a user with a large viewing history regarding a temple in Kyoto, the server device 50 can recognize that the viewing history tends to favor viewing a temple in Kyoto or a temple in the vicinity of Kyoto. Based on this recognition result, The moving image file to be downloaded is detected and specified. In this way, by reflecting the user's viewing preference in the moving image file to be transmitted, it is possible to provide an environment in which the moving image that matches the user's preference can be efficiently viewed.

  Furthermore, when the video files to be transmitted include those that can be viewed free of charge for business and those that can be viewed for a fee, the paid video is played back for the arrangement order of a plurality of video files in a group (see FIG. 10). It is also possible to arrange it easily.

  Further, with respect to the number of a group of a plurality of moving image files downloaded from the server device 50, the situation shown in FIG. 10 is merely an example, and the number of the group of moving image files to be downloaded is made into more columns (6 columns or more). Of course, it is possible to make more lines (more than 6 lines). When the number of moving image files to be downloaded is increased in this way, there is an advantage that the reproduction can be continued smoothly even if the swipe operation for switching the reproduction target is performed many times in the communication terminal device that performs the reproduction.

  On the other hand, it is possible to reduce the number of a plurality of moving image files of a group downloaded from the server device 50 as compared with the situation shown in FIG. 10, and if the number of moving image files is reduced in this way, the time required for downloading and communication processing are reduced. There is an advantage that can reduce the burden. As the minimum number in the arrangement, based on the situation shown in FIG. 10, one moving image file A-2, A-3, B, one up, down, left, and right with respect to the moving image file A-1 to be reproduced first. -1 and C-1 can be considered (in this case, the server apparatus 50 transmits a total of five moving image files having a cross-arrangement upon completion of login).

  Furthermore, the number of moving image files transmitted from the server device 50 at a time may be limited to one, and in this case, every time the communication terminal device accepts a user swipe operation (switching operation), a moving image file request is sent. Is transmitted to the server device 50, and the server device 50 appropriately transmits the moving image file to the communication terminal device in accordance with the processing shown in the second flowchart of FIG. In this case, the server device 50 transmits some moving image file without performing the process of the step S32 in the second flowchart.

  Further, the server device 50 can transmit a moving image file by using streaming distribution instead of downloading. In particular, the streaming distribution is suitable when the moving image file transmitted by the server device 50 is limited to one. It becomes. That is, during display of a moving image by playing a moving image file on the communication terminal device, the server device 50 selects a moving image file to be reproduced next in accordance with each swipe operation 25a, 25b, 26a, 26c shown in FIG. , Specify each direction from the video file being played (specify each video file placed in the cross direction centering on the video file being played), When the operation is accepted, the moving image file request in the arrangement direction corresponding to the swipe operation is transmitted to the server device 50. When the server device 50 receives the transmitted moving image file request, the moving image file in the specified direction is transmitted. A moving image file in a direction corresponding to the moving image file request is transmitted from the file to the communication terminal device by streaming, and the reproduced moving image is displayed on the display 12. It will be Shimesuru.

  It is also possible to upload not only videos (video files) but also music (music files) that can be uploaded to the server device 50. Music that the user sings and performs, and music that the user composes Etc. may be uploaded so that the music is played back together with the video as the background music of the video. In this case, the user uses the communication terminal device to record music, generate a music file, log in, and then upload the music file to the server device 50. The server device 50 receives the uploaded music file and stores it in the database device for each user.

  FIG. 21A shows a database device 160 according to a modified example. The database device 160 according to the modified example stores music that has been uploaded in addition to the moving image database 165 that stores the uploaded moving image file. It is characterized by having a database 170.

  FIG. 21B shows an example of the contents of the music database 170 included in the database device 160 of the modification. When the server device 50 receives the music file from the communication terminal device of the logged-in user, the server device 50 stores the received music file in the music database 170 of the database device 160 of the modified example in association with the logged-in user ID. Further, the server device 50 detects and specifies the frequency characteristics of the music related to the received music file, and stores the frequency characteristic classification corresponding to the detection specification result in the music database 170 in association with the music file. As an example of the classification of frequency characteristics, classify as music with pleasant feeling, music with sad feeling, music with light feeling, music with heavy feeling, and so on. (Refer to “Y1,” “Z2,” “X9,” “F7,” etc. shown in FIG. 21B).

  Further, the server device 50 also detects the frequency characteristics of the moving image file stored in the distribution moving image storage unit 67 (see FIGS. 13 and 15) for the sound of the moving image related to the moving image file as in the case of the above and the music file. The identification is performed, and the frequency characteristic classification corresponding to the detection identification result is stored in the distribution moving image storage unit 67 in association with the moving image file to be processed such as detection. Then, when the server device 50 reads out the moving image file from the distribution moving image storage unit 67 and performs the process of transmitting the moving image file to the communication terminal device, the server device 50 identifies the classification of the frequency characteristics associated with the moving image file to be transmitted. The music file having the same classification as the frequency characteristic classification is read from the music database 175 and transmitted to the communication terminal device in accordance with the transmission of the moving image file.

  When the communication terminal device receives the moving image file and the music file, the communication terminal device temporarily stores them in the RAM 10c, and when performing the reproduction processing of the moving image file, the received music is linked to the reproduction processing (according to the reproduction processing). Also performs file playback processing. By performing such processing, music that matches the sound included in the moving image displayed on the display 12 flows as background music while the moving image is displayed. In addition to being able to enjoy, there is also an advantage that a user who performs music or a user who composes music can secure a new opportunity as a place for presenting music.

However, any communication terminal device having a video capturing function can be applied to the present invention as a communication terminal device on the upload side. It is. In addition, the communication terminal device on the video viewing side is not limited to a smartphone, and any communication terminal device having a video display function can be widely applied to the present invention and has a communication function. A computer, a television device having a communication function, and various display devices having a communication function can also be used for the communication terminal device on the viewing side. When a personal computer is used as a communication terminal device, the swipe operation in each direction shown in FIG. 9 is performed by performing a mouse operation and an arrow key operation on the keyboard so as to scroll (slide) in the arrow direction shown in FIG. In addition, when a television device or a display device is used as a communication terminal device, the operation of the cross key (up / down / left / right arrow keys) of the remote control corresponds to the swipe operation (flick operation) shown in FIG. (For example, the left and right arrow key operations correspond to the first direction operation, and the up and down arrow key operations correspond to the second direction operation).

  Furthermore, in the above description, the video application P2 (see FIG. 3) is installed in the communication terminal device used by the user and the processing of the communication terminal device is performed on the video application base. It is also possible to implement the present invention on a web basis by installing a browser application of the site. In this case, the server device functions as a web server, and a video posting viewing site is established on the network, and the communication terminal device accesses the server device and activates a browser application, whereby the video posting opened by the server device is established. The website screen of the viewing site is displayed on the display. And a communication terminal device displays each screen shown in FIGS. 5-7 etc. on a display as a site screen of a website.

  Even when the present invention is performed on a website basis, the operation content in the communication terminal device is the same as that performed on the video application base described above, and the user operation content received in the communication terminal device is appropriately determined by the communication terminal. By being sent from the apparatus to the server apparatus, the server apparatus provides a site screen corresponding to the user operation to the communication terminal apparatus and presents it to the user. Thereby, even on a website base, a moving image file related to the captured moving image can be uploaded (transmitted) to the server device.
