  The viewing user device 10 may include the same components as the distribution user device 20. For example, the viewing user device 10 may include a computer processor, a communication I / F, a display, and a camera. The viewing user device 10 may perform the same function as the distribution user device 20 by downloading and installing predetermined application software.

  The viewing user device 10 and the distribution user device 20 are information processing devices such as a smartphone. The viewing user device 10 and the distribution user device 20 are, in addition to a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, an electronic book reader, a wearable computer, a game console, and various information processing devices capable of reproducing moving images other than these. May be Each of the viewing user device 10 and the distribution user device 20 may include a sensor unit including various sensors such as a gyro sensor, and a storage for storing various information, in addition to the above components.

  Next, the server device 60 will be described. In the illustrated embodiment, the server device 60 includes a computer processor 61, a communication I / F 62, and a storage 63.

  The computer processor 61 is an arithmetic device that loads an operating system and various programs for realizing various functions from the storage 63 or other storage into the memory and executes instructions included in the loaded programs. The computer processor 61 is, for example, a CPU, an MPU, a DSP, a GPU, various arithmetic devices other than these, or a combination thereof. The computer processor 61 may be realized by an integrated circuit such as an ASIC, a PLD, an FPGA, or an MCU. Although computer processor 21 is illustrated as a single component in FIG. 1, computer processor 61 may be a collection of multiple physically separate computer processors.

  The communication I / F 62 is implemented as hardware, firmware, or communication software such as a TCP / IP driver or a PPP driver, or a combination thereof. The server device 60 can transmit and receive data to and from other devices via the communication I / F 62.

  The storage 63 is a storage device accessed by the computer processor 61. The storage 63 is, for example, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a semiconductor memory, or various other storage devices capable of storing data. The storage 63 may store various programs. The programs and various data that may be stored in the storage 63 may be stored in a storage (for example, the storage 70) that is physically separate from the server device 60.

  In the present specification, a program described as being executed by the computer processor 21 or the computer processor 61 or an instruction contained in the program may be executed by a single computer processor or distributed by a plurality of computer processors, respectively. May be performed. Also, a program executed by the computer processor 21 or the computer processor 61 or an instruction included in the program may be executed by a plurality of virtual computer processors, respectively.

  Next, data stored in the storage 63 will be described. In the illustrated embodiment, the storage 63 stores the model data 63a, the object data 63b, and various data necessary for generating and distributing a distribution moving image other than the above.

  The model data 63a is model data for generating animation of a character. The model data 63a may be three-dimensional model data for generating three-dimensional animation or may be two-dimensional model data for generating two-dimensional model data. The model data 63a includes, for example, rig data (sometimes called "skeleton data") indicating the skeleton of the face of the character and parts other than the face, and surface data indicating the shape and texture of the surface of the character. The model data 63a can include a plurality of different model data. The plurality of model data may have different rig data, or may have the same rig data. The plurality of model data may have surface data different from each other or may have the same surface data.

  The object data 63 b includes asset data for constructing a virtual space constituting a moving image. The object data 63 b is data for drawing the background of the virtual space constituting the moving image, data for drawing various objects displayed in the moving image, and for drawing various objects displayed in the moving image other than these. Contains data. The object data 63b may include object position information indicating the position of the object in the virtual space.

  The object data 63b may include a gift object in addition to the above. The gift object is displayed in the moving image based on the display request of the gift from the viewing user who is viewing the moving image. The gift object may include an effect object corresponding to the effect gift, a normal object corresponding to the normal gift, a mounted object corresponding to the mounted gift, and a message object corresponding to the message gift. The viewing user can purchase a desired gift. The distinction between a viewing user and a distribution user (e.g., distribution users Ua, Ub) is a classification that focuses on the user's actions. For example, in the moving image distribution system 1, when a user views a moving image, the user is called a viewing user, but when the user distributes a moving image, the user is called a distribution user.

  The effect object indicating the effect gift is an object that affects the impression of the entire viewing screen of the distribution moving image, and is, for example, an object that simulates confetti. An object simulating a confetti may be displayed on the entire viewing screen, which can change the impression of the entire viewing screen before and after the display. The effect object may be displayed so as to overlap with the character object, but differs from the attached object in that the effect object is displayed without being associated with a specific part of the character object.

  A normal object indicating a normal gift is an object indicating a gift from a viewing user to a distribution user (for example, distribution users Ua and Ub), and for example, an article suitable for a stuffed toy, a bouquet, an accessory, or any other gift or gift It is an imitation object. In one aspect, the normal object is displayed on the display screen of the moving image so as not to be in contact with the character object. In one aspect, the normal object is displayed on the display screen of the moving image so as not to overlap with the character object. The normal object may be displayed in the virtual space so as to overlap with an object other than the character object. The normal object may be displayed so as to overlap with the character object, but differs from the attached object in that the display associated with a specific part of the character object is not made. In one aspect, when the normal object is displayed overlapping with the character object, the normal object overlaps a portion other than the head including the face of the character object and does not overlap the head of the character object. It will be displayed as In one aspect, when a normal object is displayed overlapping with a character object, the normal object overlaps a portion other than the upper body including the face of the character object, and does not overlap with the upper body of the character object. Is displayed.

  The mounted object indicating the mounted gift is an object displayed on the display screen in association with a specific portion (mounted portion) of the character object. In one aspect, the mounted object displayed on the display screen in association with the specific part of the character object is displayed on the display screen so as to touch the specific part of the character object. In one aspect, the mounted object displayed on the display screen in association with the specific part of the character object is displayed on the display screen so as to cover part or all of the specific part of the character object. The specific part may be specified by three-dimensional position information indicating a position in the three-dimensional coordinate space, or may be associated with position information in the three-dimensional coordinate space. For example, in the head of a character, a specific part is a unit such as front left side, front right side, rear left side, rear right side, rear right side, center front side, center rear side, left eye, right eye, left ear, right ear, and whole hair of the head. It may be defined.

  The mounting object is, for example, an accessory (such as a headband, a necklace, an earring, etc.), clothes (such as a T-shirt), a costume, and other objects that can be mounted on a character object. The object data 63b corresponding to the mounting object may include mounting portion information indicating which portion of the character object the mounting object is associated with. The mounting part information of a certain mounting object can indicate which part of the character object the mounting object is mounted to. For example, when the mounting object is a headband, the mounting region information of the mounting object may indicate that the mounting object is mounted on the “head” of the character object. In the case where the mounting site information to which the mounting object is mounted is specified as a position in the three-dimensional coordinate space, the mounting site information may be associated with a plurality of positions in the three-dimensional coordinate space. For example, the attachment portion information indicating the position at which the attachment object indicating “head-to-face” is attached may be associated with two portions “head rear left” and “head rear right” of the character object. That is, the wearing object indicating "head-to-head" may be worn on both "head rear left" and "head rear right". If the attached object is a T-shirt, the attached region information of the attached object may indicate that the attached object is attached to the “body” of the character object.

  Two types of mounted objects having a common mounting site are displayed in a moving image with time. That is, two types of mounted objects having a common mounting site are mounted on the character object at different times. In other words, two types of mounting objects having a common mounting site are not simultaneously mounted to the character object. For example, with regard to the wearing object showing the headband and the wearing object showing the hat, when "head" is set as the wearing part, the wearing object showing the headband and the wearing object showing the hat are not simultaneously displayed.

  The display time according to the kind may be set to each of the gift objects. In one aspect, the display time of the mounted object may be set longer than the display time of the effect object and the display time of the normal object. For example, the display time of the mounted object may be set to 60 seconds, the display time of the effect object may be set to 5 seconds, and the display time of the normal object may be set to 10 seconds.

  Next, functions implemented by the computer processors 21a and 21b will be more specifically described. The computer processor 21a functions as a face motion data generation unit 211a by executing computer-readable instructions included in the distribution program. Similarly, the computer processor 21b functions as a face motion data generation unit 211b by executing computer-readable instructions included in the distribution program. At least a part of the functions realized by the computer processors 21a and 21b may be realized by a computer processor other than the computer processors 21a and 21b of the moving image distribution system 1. For example, at least a part of the functions implemented by the computer processors 21 a and 21 b may be implemented by the computer processor 61 mounted on the server device 60.

  The face motion data generation unit 211a generates face motion data that is a digital representation of the movement of the face of the distribution user Ua based on the imaging data of the camera 24a. Similarly, the face motion data generation unit 211b generates face motion data that is a digital representation of the movement of the face of the distribution user Ub based on the imaging data of the camera 24b. Face motion data is generated as needed over time. Face motion data may be generated at predetermined sampling time intervals. As described above, the face motion data generated by the face motion data generation unit 211a can digitally represent the movement (change in expression) of the face of the delivery user Ua in time series, and the face motion data generation unit 211b The face motion data generated at can digitally represent the movement (change in expression) of the face of the delivery user Ub in time series. The face motion data generated by the face motion data generation units 211a and 211b is transmitted to the server device 60 via the communication I / Fs 22a and 22b.

  In the distribution user device 20, body motion data that is a digital representation of the position and orientation of each part other than the face of the distribution user Ua, Ub's body in addition to the face motion data generated by the face motion data generation unit 211a. May be generated. The distribution user device 20 may transmit body motion data to the server device 60 in addition to the face motion data. In order to generate body motion data, the distribution users Ua, Ub may wear motion sensors. The distribution user device 20 may be configured to be able to generate body motion data based on the detection information of the motion sensor attached to the distribution users Ua and Ub. Body motion data may be generated at predetermined sampling time intervals. Thus, the body motion data expresses the movement of the body of the delivery users Ua and Ub in time series as digital data. The generation of body motion data based on the detection information of the motion sensor attached to the distribution users Ua and Ub may be performed, for example, in a shooting studio. The shooting studio may be provided with a base station, a tracking sensor, and a display. The base station may be a multi-axis laser emitter. The motion sensor attached to the distribution users Ua and Ub may be, for example, a Vive Tracker provided by HTC CORPORATION. The base station provided in the shooting studio may be, for example, a base station provided by HTC CORPORATION. In addition, a supporter computer may be installed in a separate room from the shooting studio. The display of the shooting studio may be configured to display the information received from the support computer. The server device 60 may be installed in the same room as the room in which the supporter computer is installed. The room in which the supporter computer is installed and the shooting studio may be separated by a glass window. In this case, the operator of the supporter computer (sometimes referred to as "supporter" in the present specification) can visually recognize the distribution users Ua and Ub. The supporter computer may be configured to be able to change the settings of various devices provided in the shooting studio in accordance with the operation of the supporter. The supporter computer can change, for example, the setting of the scanning interval by the base station, the setting of the tracking sensor, and various settings of other various devices. The supporter can input a message to the supporter computer and can display the input message on the display of the photographing studio.

  The distribution user device 20 may implement functions other than the face motion data generation unit 211 a by executing a distribution program and / or other programs by a computer processor. For example, the distribution user device 20 may realize a function of reproducing a received moving image by executing a viewing program for viewing a moving image. The distribution program and the viewing program may be packaged in one application software or may be provided as separate application software.

  The viewing user device 10 may be configured to provide the same function as the distribution user device 20. For example, the viewing user device 10 may realize a function of reproducing a received moving image by executing a viewing program for viewing a moving image, and the same as the function of the face motion data generation unit 211a by executing a distribution program. May realize the function of

  Next, functions implemented by the computer processor 61 will be more specifically described. The computer processor 61 executes a computer readable instruction included in the distribution program to thereby execute an animation generation unit 61a, a moving image generation unit 61b, a moving image distribution unit 61c, a gift request processing unit 61d, a gift purchase processing unit 61e, and a joint performance. It functions as an application processing unit 61f.

  The animation generation unit 61a generates animation of a character object by applying face motion data generated by the face motion data generation unit 211a of the distribution user device 20 to predetermined model data included in the model data 63a. Configured The animation generation unit 61a can generate an animation of the character object such that the expression of the character object changes based on the face motion data. Specifically, the animation generation unit 61a can generate animation of a character object moving in synchronization with the movement of the expression of the distribution user Ua based on the face motion data of the distribution user Ua. Similarly, the animation generation unit 61a can generate animation of a character object moving in synchronization with the movement of the expression of the distribution user Ub based on the face motion data of the distribution user Ub.

  When body motion data relating to the distribution users Ua and Ub is provided from the distribution user device 20, the animation generation unit 61a is configured to distribute the distribution users Ua and Ub based on the body motion data and face motion data relating to the distribution users Ua and Ub. An animation of a moving character object can be generated in synchronization with the movement of the body and expression of.

  When distributing the moving image of the distributing user Ua, the moving image generating unit 61b generates a background image indicating the background using the object data 63b, and this background image and the animation of the character object corresponding to the distributing user Ua. You can generate a movie that contains The moving image generation unit 61 b can synthesize the generated moving image with the voice of the distribution user Ua generated based on the voice data received from the distribution user device 20 a. Similarly, when distributing the moving image of the distribution user Ub, the moving image generation unit 61b generates a background image indicating the background using the object data 63b, and this background image and the character object corresponding to the distribution user Ub An animation including animation and can be generated. The moving image generation unit 61b can synthesize the generated moving image with the voice of the distribution user Ub generated based on the voice data received from the distribution user device 20b. In the moving image generated by the moving image generation unit 61b, character objects corresponding to the distribution users Ua and Ub are displayed superimposed on the background image. As described above, the moving image generation unit 61b generates an animation of a character object moving in synchronization with the movement of the expression of the distribution user Ua or the distribution user Ub, and the speech of the distribution user Ua or the distribution user Ub is synthesized with this animation. It is possible to generate an animation for delivery. The co-presented moving image including both the character object of the distribution user Ua and the character object of the distribution user Ub will be described later.

  The moving image distribution unit 61c distributes the moving image generated by the moving image generation unit 61b. This moving image is distributed to the viewing user device 10 and other viewing user devices via the network 50. The generated moving image is also distributed to the distribution user devices 20a and 20b. The received moving image is reproduced by the viewing user device 10 and the distribution user devices 20a and 20b.

  3 and 4a to 4b show display examples of the moving image distributed from the moving image distribution unit 61c. In these figures, it is assumed that the distribution user Ub distributes a moving image including its own character object using the distribution user device 20b, and the moving image is reproduced by the viewing user device 10 and the distribution user devices 20a and 20b. ing. In FIG. 4A, it is assumed that the distribution user Ua is not performing moving image distribution, and is viewing the moving image being distributed by the distribution user Ub which is another distribution user. The same assumption is made for FIGS. 6, 7a and 7b described later. For this reason, the distribution user Ua may also be referred to as a viewing user in the description regarding FIGS. 3, 4a to 4b, 6, and 7a to 7b. FIG. 3 shows a display example of a moving image reproduced in the viewing user device 10, FIG. 4a shows a display example of a moving image reproduced in the distribution user device 20a, and FIG. 4b shows a reproduction example in the distribution user device 20b. An example of the displayed video is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the display image 30 of the moving image distributed from the server device 60 is displayed on the display of the viewing user device 10. In the display image 30 displayed on the viewing user device 10, the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub generated by the animation generation unit 61a, the gift button 32, the evaluation button 33, the comment button 34, and the comment display An area 35 is included.

  As shown in FIG. 4a, the display image 130 of the moving image distributed from the server device 60 is displayed on the display of the distribution user device 20a. Similar to the display image 30, the display image 130 includes the character object 31, the gift button 32, the evaluation button 33, the comment button 34, and the comment display area 35 of the distribution user Ub. In addition to this, the display image 130 includes a co-star application button 36 for applying for a co-star with the distribution user Ub in the moving image distributed by the distribution user Ub. The distribution user device 20a can display the display image 130 of the distributed moving image, for example, by executing application software including a viewing program.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in one embodiment, the display image 30 of the viewing user device 10 does not include the co-player application button 36. For example, when application software including a distribution program is not downloaded or installed in viewing user apparatus 10, and when application software including a distribution program is not activated in viewing user apparatus 10, a co-play application button 36 is included. The display image 30 of the viewing user device 10 is generated so as not to be lost. In another embodiment, the co-star application button 36 may be displayed also on the display image 30 of the viewing user device 10. For example, when application software including a distribution program is downloaded or installed in the viewing user device 10 or when application software including a distribution program is activated in the viewing user device 10, the co-play application button 36 is included. Thus, the display image 30 of the viewing user device 10 is generated.

  As described above, since the character object 31 is generated by applying the face motion data of the distribution user Ub to the model data included in the model data 63a, the character object 31 is synchronized with the movement of the expression of the distribution user Ub. The expression changes. When body motion data is provided from the delivery user device 20, the character object 31 may be controlled so as to change in synchronization with the movement of the delivery user Ub's body as well as parts other than the face.

  The gift button 32 is displayed on the display screen 30 so as to be selectable by an operation on the viewing user device 10.

In one embodiment, when the gift button 32 is selected, the display screen 30 selects a gift to be gifted to a distribution user (in this case, the distribution user Ub) distributing a moving image being viewed. Window is displayed. The viewing user can purchase a gift to be gifted from the gifts displayed in the window. In another embodiment, in response to the gift button 32 being selected, the display screen 30 displays a window including a list of purchased gifts. In this case, the viewing user can select a gift to be gifted from the gifts displayed in the window. Gifting or purchasable gifts may include effect gifts, regular gifts, fitted gifts, and other gifts.

  The evaluation button 33 is displayed on the display screen 30 so as to be selectable by the viewing user who uses the viewing user device 10. The evaluation button 33 may be selected, for example, by a tap operation on a region of the touch panel of the viewing user device 10 where the evaluation button 33 is displayed. When the evaluation button 33 is selected by a viewing user who is viewing a moving image, evaluation information indicating that a positive evaluation has been made on the moving image may be transmitted to the server device 60. The server device 60 can count evaluation information from the viewing user device 10 and other viewing user devices. By the selection of the evaluation button 33, evaluation information indicating that a negative evaluation has been made on the moving image may be transmitted to the server device 60. Evaluation information indicating a positive evaluation to a moving image may be called positive evaluation information, and evaluation information indicating that a negative evaluation to a moving image has been made may be called negative evaluation information.

  The comment button 34 is displayed on the display screen 30 so as to be selectable by the user. When the comment button 34 is selected by, for example, a tap operation, a comment input window for inputting a comment is displayed on the display screen 30. The viewing user can input a comment via the input mechanism of the viewing user device 10 or the distribution user device 20a. The input comment is transmitted from the viewing user device 10 and the distribution user device 20a to the server device 60. The server device 60 receives comments from the viewing user device 10, the distribution user device 20a, and other user devices, and displays the comments in the comment display area 35 in the display image 30. In the comment display area 35, comments posted from each user are displayed, for example, in chronological order. The comment display area 35 occupies a part of the display screen 30. There is an upper limit to the number of comments that can be displayed in the comment display area 35. In the illustrated example, up to three comments can be displayed in the comment display area 35. When a comment exceeding the upper limit set in the comment display area 35 is posted, the posting time is deleted from the comment display area 35 in order from the oldest comment. For this reason, the display time of each comment in the comment area 35 becomes shorter as the frequency of the accepted comments becomes higher.

  As shown in FIG. 4b, the display image 40 of the moving image distributed from the server device 60 is displayed on the display of the distribution user device 20b. In the display image 40 displayed on the distribution user device 20b, a character object 31 corresponding to the distribution user Ub, display instruction buttons 42a to 42c for displaying mounted gifts for which a display request has been made by the viewing user, and comments And a display area 35 are included. The display image 40 displayed on the distribution user device 20b includes the same background image as the display image 30 and the display image 130, a character object image, and a comment. On the other hand, the display image 40 does not include the gift button 32, the evaluation button 33, the comment button 34, and the co-star application button 36, but includes the display instruction buttons 42a to 42c. It is different.

  The display instruction buttons 42a to 42c are displayed on the display screen 40 in response to reception of a display request for displaying a mounted gift described later from the viewing user. In the illustrated embodiment, three display instruction buttons 42 a to 42 c are displayed on the display image 40. Each of the display instruction buttons 42a to 42c is displayed on the display screen 40 so as to be selectable by the distribution user. When one of the display instruction buttons 42a to 42c is selected by, for example, a tap operation, an operation for displaying a mounted gift corresponding to the selected display instruction button is performed. As described above, the display instruction buttons 42a to 42c are display instruction objects for instructing to display the attached gift on the moving image being distributed. For this reason, in the present specification, the display instruction buttons 42a to 42c may be referred to as display instruction objects 42a to 42c. When the display instruction objects 42 a to 42 c do not need to be distinguished from one another, they may be simply referred to as the display instruction object 42. Specific examples of the display of the attached gift will be described later. The display screen 40 may be displayed on the above-mentioned supporter computer. The display instruction objects 42a to 42c may be selected according to the operation of the supporter computer by the supporter.

  Every time a display request requesting display of the attached gift is accepted, a display instruction object 42 corresponding to the display request is added to the display screen 40. There is an upper limit to the number of display instruction objects 42 that can be displayed on the display screen 40. In the illustrated embodiment, the upper limit number of display instruction objects 42 that can be displayed on the display screen 40 is three. In this case, the display screen 40 has a display area on which three display instruction objects can be displayed. When four or more display requests for the attached gift are received, the display instruction object 42 corresponding to the fourth and subsequent display requests is not displayed on the display screen 40. The display instruction object 42 corresponding to the fourth display request for the attached gift received is selected when any of the three display instruction objects 42 already displayed is selected, and the display area becomes empty. It is displayed on the display screen 40.

  The gift request processing unit 61d receives a display request for a gift from the viewing user, and performs processing for displaying a gift object according to the display request. Each viewing user can transmit a gift display request to the server device 60 by operating his or her own viewing user device. The gift display request includes the user ID of the viewing user, gift identification information (gift ID) identifying the gift requiring display, and / or gift object identification information identifying the gift object corresponding to the gift requiring the display Gift object ID) may be included.

  As described above, a gift object indicating a gift may include an effect object corresponding to the effect gift, a normal object corresponding to the normal gift, and a wearing object corresponding to the wearing gift. The fitted gift is an example of the first gift. The mounted object may be referred to as a first gift object. The display request for requesting the display of the attached gift (or attached object) is an example of the first display request. Effect gifts and regular gifts are examples of second gifts. The effect object and the normal object may be collectively referred to as a second gift object. A display request that requests the display of an effect gift (or effect object) or a normal gift (or a normal object) is an example of a second display request.

  In one aspect, when the gift request processing unit 61 d receives a display request for a specific normal gift from the viewing user, the gift request processing unit 61 d causes the moving image to display a normal object indicating the normal gift whose display is requested based on the display request. Do the processing. For example, when a display request for a normal gift indicating a bag is made, as shown in FIG. 5, a normal object 37a indicating a bag is displayed on the display image 30 by the gift request processing unit 61d based on the display request. . Similarly, when a request for displaying a normal gift indicating a stuffed bear is made, as shown in FIG. 5, the gift request processing unit 61d displays a normal object 37b showing the stuffed toy on a basis of the display request. Displayed on 30 Although the illustration is omitted, normal objects 37a and 37b are also displayed on the display image 130 of the distribution user device 20a and the display image 40 of the distribution user device 20b, similarly to the display image 30.

  In one aspect, when the gift request processing unit 61d receives a display request for a specific effect gift from the viewing user, the effect object corresponding to the effect gift whose display is requested is displayed as a moving image display image based on the display request. Perform processing for displaying. For example, when a display request for an effect gift indicating confetti or fireworks is made, the gift request processing unit 61d displays an effect object (not shown) corresponding to an effect gift indicating confetti or fireworks based on the display request. Is displayed on the display image 30, the display image 130, and the display image 40.

  The display request for the normal gift may include a display position specification parameter for specifying the display position of the normal object indicating the normal gift. In this case, the gift request processing unit 61d can display the normal object at the position designated by the display position designation parameter. When the display position and the display range of the character object 31 are defined, the position relative to the character object 31 can be designated as the display position of the normal object by the display position designation parameter.

  In one aspect, the normal object may be displayed to move within the display image 30 of the moving image. For example, the normal objects 37a and 37b may be displayed so as to fall from the top to the bottom of the screen. In this case, the normal objects 37a and 37b may be displayed in the display image 30 while falling to the lower end of the display image 30 from the drop start, and may disappear from the display image 30 after falling to the lower end of the display image 30 . The moving direction of the normal objects 37a and 37b in the screen can be set arbitrarily. For example, the normal objects 37a and 37b may move in the display image 30 from left to right, right to left, upper left to lower left, or other directions. The normal objects 37a and 37b can move on various trajectories. For example, the normal objects 37a and 37b can move on linear orbits, on circular orbits, on elliptical orbits, on helical orbits, or on orbits other than these. The viewing user moves the movement direction parameter for specifying the movement direction of the normal objects 37a and 37b and the normal objects 37a and 37b in addition to or in place of the display position specification parameters in the normal object display request. At least one of trajectory parameters specifying the trajectory can be included. In one embodiment, among the effect object and the normal object, those whose size in the virtual space is smaller than the reference size may be displayed on the character object 31 with part or all of them overlapping. In one embodiment, among the effect object and the normal object, the one whose size in the display image 30 is larger than the reference size is displayed at a position not overlapping the character object 31. In another embodiment, an effect object and a normal object whose size in virtual space is larger than a reference size may be displayed behind the character object 31. The normal objects 37a and 37b may be displayed in the display image 130 and the display image 40 so as to move as described above.

  In one aspect, when the gift request processing unit 61d receives a display request for a specific mounted object from the viewing user, as shown in FIG. 4b, the gift request processing unit 61d instructs display on the display screen 40 of the distribution user device 20. The objects 42a to 42c are displayed. Each of the display instruction objects 42a to 42c is associated with the attached gift for which the display request has been made. When one of the display instruction objects 42a to 42c is selected, the attached gift associated with the selected display instruction object is displayed in the moving image being delivered. For example, when a display instruction object 42b is associated with a display instruction object 42b and a headband is imitating, when the display instruction object 42b is selected, the gift request processing unit 61d selects the head corresponding to the selected display instruction object 42b. Is displayed on the moving image being delivered. 6 and 7a to 7b show display examples of the moving image including the mounting object 38 indicating the headband. Also, as shown in FIG. 7 b, the selected display instruction object 42 b is deleted from the display screen 40.

  The mounted object is displayed in the moving image in association with a specific portion (mounted portion) of the character object. For example, the attached object may be displayed in the moving image so as to contact the attached part of the character object. The mounting object 38 may be displayed in the moving image so as to be mounted on the mounting portion of the character object. In one embodiment, the mounted object 38 indicating the headband is associated with the head of the character object. Therefore, in the display examples shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 a to 7 b, the mounting object 38 is mounted on the head of the character object 31. The mounted object may be displayed on the display screen of the moving image so as to move along with the movement of the mounted portion of the character object. For example, when the head of the character object 31 attached with the attached object 38 indicating the headband moves, the attached object 38 showing the headband of the character object 31 also appears as if the headband is attached to the head of the character object 31. Move along with the department.

  As described above, the object data 63b may include mounting portion information indicating which portion of the character object the mounting object is associated with. In one aspect, when the attached object is attached to the character object, the gift request processing unit 61 d is the same as the part indicated by the attached part information of the attached object until the display time of the attached object elapses. It prohibits the display of other attached objects attached to overlapping parts. For example, a headrest associated with both “head rear left” and “head rear right” and a hair accessory associated with “head rear left” have “head rear left” overlapping Therefore, when the headband is displayed, the display of the hair accessory for which “head rear left side” is set as the mounting site information is prohibited. On the other hand, the headbands associated with "head rear left" and "head rear right" and the earrings associated with "left ear (of head)" and "right ear (of head)" Since the mounting portions in the character object do not overlap, they can be mounted at the same time.

  In one embodiment, the display instruction object 42 for displaying the mounted object whose display is prohibited may be deactivated in order to prohibit the display of a plurality of mounted objects having the same or overlapping mounting sites. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4b, it is assumed that the display instruction object 42a is an object (button) for instructing display of a hair accessory in which "head rear left side" is set as the mounting region information. In this case, since the attached object representing the hair accessory is attached to the attached object 38 in which the character object 31 indicates the headband, display to a moving image is prohibited while the attached object 38 is attached to the character object 31. Be done. In one embodiment, in order to inhibit the display of the attached object indicating the hair accessory on the moving image, the display instruction object 42a associated with the attached object indicating the hair accessory is deactivated. For example, while the mounting object 38 is mounted on the character object 31, the display instruction object 42a can not be selected even if it is manipulated. In another embodiment, the display instruction object 42 a is erased from the display screen 40 while the attached object 38 is attached to the character object 31. The deactivated display instruction object 42a is reactivated in response to the passage of the display time of the headband. In order to reactivate the display instruction object 42a, for example, the display instruction object 42a which has been disabled may be made selectable again, or the display instruction object 42a which has been hidden may be displayed again on the display screen 40. It may be displayed.

  In one aspect, the gift purchase processing unit 61e, in response to a request from the viewing user of the moving image, purchase information of each of a plurality of gift objects that can be purchased in relation to the moving image, the viewing user device of the viewing user , Transmitting to the viewing user device 10 and the distribution user device 20a). The purchase information of each gift object includes the type of the gift object (effect object, normal object, or attached object), the image of the gift object, the price of the gift object, and information necessary for purchasing other gift objects. May be included. The viewing user can select a gift object to be purchased based on the gift object purchase information displayed on the viewing user device 10 or the distribution user device 20a. Selection of a gift object to be purchased may be performed by the operation of the viewing user device 10 or the distribution user device 20a. When a gift object to be purchased is selected by the viewing user, a purchase request for the gift object is transmitted to the server device 60. The gift purchase processing unit 61e performs payment processing based on the purchase request. When the settlement process is completed, the purchased gift object is held by the viewing user. The storage 23 may store the gift ID of the purchased gift (or the gift object ID of the gift object indicating the gift) in association with the user ID of the viewing user who has purchased the gift.

  Gift objects that can be purchased may be different for each video. A purchasable gift object may be purchasable in a plurality of moving pictures. That is, the purchasable gift objects may include a unique gift object unique to each video and a common gift object that can be purchased in a plurality of videos. For example, the effect object indicating confetti may be a common gift object that can be purchased in a plurality of animations.

  In one aspect, when the effect object is purchased while watching a predetermined moving image, the effect object to be purchased is the moving image being viewed according to the completion of the settlement process for purchasing the effect object. It may be displayed automatically. When a normal object is purchased while watching a predetermined moving image, the normal gift object to be purchased is the moving image being viewed according to the completion of the settlement process for purchasing the normal object, as described above. May be displayed automatically.

  In another aspect, in response to the completion of the payment processing in the gift purchase processing unit 61e for the effect object to be purchased, a payment completion notification is transmitted to the viewing user device 10, and the viewing user device 10 purchases A confirmation screen may be displayed to confirm to the viewing user whether or not to make a display request for the effect object. When the viewing user selects to request display of the purchased effect object, the display request for requesting display of the purchased effect object is sent from the client device of the viewing user to the gift request processing unit 61d. In the gift request processing unit 61d, the effect object to be purchased may be displayed on the moving image 70. Also when the purchase target is a normal object, the viewing user device 10 may display a confirmation screen for confirming to the viewing user whether or not to request the display of the purchased normal object, as described above.

  The co-star application processing unit 61 f is configured such that, when there is a co-star application for one distribution user from another distribution user, the one distribution user and the other distribution user are virtually based on the co-performance application. Generate co-play videos to co-play. The following description is given on the assumption that a distribution user Ua who is viewing a moving image including the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub makes a co-player application with the distribution user Ub. The co-play application processing unit 61 f can generate co-play video based on co-play applications from various distribution users as well as co-player applications from the distribution user Ua.

  In one embodiment, the co-play application processing unit 61 f receives a co-play application from the distribution user Ua, and generates a co-play video in response to the co-play application. The distribution user Ua can transmit a co-play application to the server device 60 by operating the distribution user device 20a. Specifically, when the co-player application button 36 displayed on the distribution user device 20 a is selected, a co-player application is transmitted from the distribution user device 20 a to the server device 60. The co-star application button 36 may be selected, for example, by a tap operation on the area of the touch panel of the distribution user device 20 a where the co-star application button 36 is displayed. In response to the selection of the co-star application button 36, application software including a distribution program may be activated in the distribution user device 20a. The co-player application transmitted from the distribution user device 20a may include a user ID for identifying the distribution user Ua.

  In response to receiving the co-player application from the distribution user device 20a, the co-player application processing unit 61f determines whether or not to permit the co-player application. The co-star application processing unit 61 f can determine whether or not to perform co-star on the basis of various pieces of information regarding the distribution user Ua who has made the co-star application. For example, the co-star application from the distribution user Ua can be permitted when the evaluation from the other user to the distribution user Ua is higher than a predetermined criterion, and conversely, the evaluation from the other user to the distribution user Ua is predetermined If it is lower than the standard, it is possible to reject the co-star application from the distribution user Ua. Alternatively, the distribution user Ub may be inquired of whether or not to permit the co-star application from the distribution user Ua, and whether to perform the co-star may be determined according to the answer.

  In one embodiment, when the co-player application from the distribution user Ua is permitted, the co-player application processing unit 61 f generates a co-player movie in which the distribution user Ua and the distribution user Ub co-perform. In order to generate a co-performing moving image, the co-performing application processing unit 61 f acquires face motion data and voice data of the distribution user Ua from the distribution user Ua. The face motion data of the distribution user Ua may be transmitted from the distribution user device 20a to the server device 60 together with the co-player application, or after the co-player application is permitted, the distribution user device 20a receives the request from the server device 60. It may be sent to the device 60. When the movement of the delivery user Ua's body is also expressed as animation, body motion data may be provided to the server device 60 together with the delivery user Ua's face motion data. When the face motion data can not be acquired from the distribution user Ua, the co-player application processing unit 61f may acquire only the audio data from the distribution user Ua. For example, when the distribution user device 20a used by the distribution user Ua does not have the function of the face motion data generation unit 211a or other functions for moving image distribution, the function is disabled, and other than these In this case, the co-play application processing unit 61 f may acquire voice data from the distribution user Ua without acquiring face motion data (and body motion data).

  In one embodiment, the co-play application processing unit 61 f adds the animation of the character object of the distribution user Ua to the moving image including the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub based on the face motion data of the distribution user Ua. Generate an image. The animation of the character object of the distribution user Ua may be generated by the animation generation unit 61a based on the face motion data of the distribution user Ua. The animation of the character object of the delivery user Ua may be generated by applying the face motion data of the delivery user Ua to the model data for the delivery user Ua included in the model data 63a. For example, the co-star application processing unit 61 f generates a layer including the animation of the character object of the distribution user Ua, and superimposes this layer on the moving image including the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub, thereby generating the character object of the distribution user Ua and A co-rendered moving image including the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub can be generated. The co-star application processing unit 61 f acquires from the distribution user Ua a moving image including the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub when acquiring voice data without acquiring face motion data (and body motion data) from the distribution user Ua. By superimposing the audio generated based on the generated audio data, it is possible to generate a co-presented moving image including the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub and the audio of the distribution user Ua. Even when model data for the distribution user Ua is not set as the model data 63a, the co-star application processing unit 61f uses the moving image including the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub based on the voice data acquired from the distribution user Ua. By superimposing the generated voice, a co-presentation moving image including the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub and the voice of the distribution user Ua can be generated. Thus, the distribution user Ua can perform with the distribution user Ub by his / her voice.

  The co-star application processing unit 61f distributes co-performing video including the voice of the distribution user Ua and the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub when the face motion data can not be acquired from the distribution user Ua, and thereafter acquires face motion data from the distribution user Ua By generating the character object of the distribution user Ua based on the face motion data of the distribution user Ua at the specified timing, it is possible to generate a co-presentation moving image including the character object of the distribution user Ua and the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub. . As described above, the co-play application processing unit 61 f switches the co-play video including the voice of the delivery user Ua and the character object 31 of the delivery user Ub to the co-play video including the character object of the delivery user Ua and the character object 31 of the delivery user Ub. be able to. On the contrary, the co-star application processing unit 61f performs co-departure moving image including the character object of the distribution user Ua and the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub, co-department moving image including the voice of the distribution user Ua and the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub. Can be switched to As described above, a co-performing video (sometimes called "voice co-performing video") in which voice co-performing is performed and a co-performing video ("character co-performing video") in which a character object is co-performing is sometimes performed. And.) May be switchable alternately.

  The generated co-presented moving image is distributed by the moving image distribution unit 61c. The co-rendered moving image may be created by the distribution user device 20a. When the co-presented moving image is generated by the distribution user device 20a, the co-departed moving image is transmitted from the distribution user device 20a to the server device 60 and distributed by the moving image distribution unit 61c of the server device 60.

  8 and 9a to 9b show display examples of the co-presented moving image distributed from the moving image distribution unit 61c. In these figures, the distribution user Ua makes a co-star application for the moving image being distributed by the distribution user Ub, and as a result, a co-departmented moving image including the character object of the distribution user Ua and the character object of the distribution user is distributed It is assumed that the distribution user Ua has selected the co-star application button 36 while viewing the image shown in FIG. 7a.

  As shown in FIG. 8, on the display of the viewing user device 10, a display image 230 of the co-presented moving image distributed from the server device 60 is displayed. In addition to the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub, the character image 131 of the distribution user Ua is included in the display image 230 of the co-presented moving image displayed on the viewing user device 10. As described above, the character object 131 of the distribution user Ua is generated by the animation generation unit 61a or the co-player application processing unit 61f. Similar to the original distribution image shown in FIG. 3, the display image 230 of the co-star animation includes a gift button 32, an evaluation button 33, a comment button 34, and a comment display area 35.

  The distribution image 230 of the co-rendered moving image is a horizontally long image as illustrated. The co-star application processing unit 61 f or the moving image distribution unit 61 c distributes a co-performed image as a horizontally long image. As a result, the viewing user device 10 displays the distribution image 230 of the co-performing moving image as a horizontally long image. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, even if the original moving image (image) is vertically long, the co-arranged image is converted into horizontally long and delivered. Since the co-rendered image includes character objects of two distribution users, it is easy to display the character object for two persons without duplication by setting it as a horizontally long image. For example, in the co-performed image, the left half may be assigned to the character object of the original distribution user from the viewpoint of the viewing user, and the right half may be assigned to the character object of the distribution user who made the co-player application. . The allocation of the area to each distribution user may be arbitrarily determined so that the character objects do not overlap.

  As shown in FIGS. 9a and 9b, on the displays of the distribution user device 20a and the distribution user device 20b, the display image 330 of the co-presented moving image distributed from the server device 60 is displayed. The display image 330 includes the same background image as the display image 230, a character object image, and a comment. On the other hand, the display image 330 differs from the display image 230 in that the display image 330 does not include the gift button 32, the evaluation button 33, and the comment button 34, but includes the display instruction buttons 42a, 42c and 42d. Since the distribution user Ua and the distribution user Ub are the distributors of the same co-performed image, the same display image 330 is displayed on the distribution user apparatus 20a of the distribution user Ua and the distribution user apparatus 20b of the distribution user Ub. Similarly to the display image 230, the display image 330 is also displayed horizontally in view of arranging a plurality of character objects without overlapping. In the example shown in FIGS. 8 and 9a to 9b, a display user (first display request) of an attached gift showing an earring is made from a viewing user who is viewing the co-star image shown in FIG. As a result, it is assumed that the display instruction object 42d is added to the display images of the distribution user device 20a and the distribution user device 20b in response to the display request. The display instruction object 42d is an object (button) for instructing display of an earring in which "ear" is set as the attachment part information.

  In the case where the distribution user Ua and the distribution user Ub are co-starring in the co-movies shown in FIGS. 9a and 9b, the distribution user Ua selects the display instruction object 42d displayed on the distribution user device 20a. The attached gift corresponding to the display instruction object 42d can be attached to its own character object 131. Similarly, by selecting the display instruction object 42d displayed on the distribution user device 20b, the distribution user Ub can attach the attached gift corresponding to the display instruction object 42d to his character object 31. The attached gift corresponding to the display instruction object 42d is attached to one or both of the character object 131 of the distribution user Ua and the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub.

  When the display instruction object 42d is selected by the distribution user Ub, a selection notification indicating that the display instruction object 42d is selected is transmitted from the distribution user device 20b to the server device 60. In the server device 60, the gift request processing unit 61d causes the wearing object 138 indicating the earring corresponding to the display instruction object 42d to be displayed on the co-presented moving image being distributed. Since the “ear” is set as the mounting portion on the mounting object 138 indicating the earring, the mounting object 138 is mounted on the ear of the character object 31. 10 and 11a to 11b show display examples of a moving image including the character object 31 on which the mounting object 138 indicating the earring is mounted. Also, as shown in FIGS. 11 a and 11 b, the selected display instruction object 42 d may be deleted from the display screen 330. When the display instruction object 42d is selected by the distribution user Ub, the display instruction object 42d may not be deleted from the display screen 330. In this case, the distribution user Ua of the co-star can also select the display instruction object 42d. When the display instruction object 42d is selected by the distribution user Ua, the mounting object 138 is mounted on the character 131 of the distribution user Ua. When the display instruction object 42d is selected by one of the co-starring distribution user Ua and the distribution user Ub, the display instruction object 42d is deleted from the display screen displayed on the distribution user device of the distribution user who made the selection. The display instruction object 42d may be continuously displayed on the display screen of the distribution user device of the distribution user who has not made the selection. For example, when the distribution user Ub selects the display instruction object 42d and the distribution user Ua does not select the display instruction object 42d, the display instruction object 42d is deleted from the display screen 330 of the distribution user device 20b of the distribution user Ub. Alternatively, the display instruction object 42d may be displayed as it is on the display screen 330 of the distribution user device 20a of the distribution user Ua. As a result, the distribution user Ua can select the display instruction object 42d at a timing later than the distribution user Ub, and can mount the mounting object 138 on the character object 131 thereof.

  When the display instruction object 42d is selected by the distribution user Ua, the distribution user device 20a notifies the server device 60 that the display instruction object 42d has been selected. In the server device 60, the gift request processing unit 61d generates a co-played moving image in which the wearing object 138 indicating the earring corresponding to the display instruction object 42d is attached to the character 131 of the distribution user Ua. 12 and 13a to 13b show display examples of a moving image including the character object 31 on which the mounting object 138 indicating the earring is mounted.

  When the distribution user Ua and the distribution user Ub are performing in a co-presented moving image, display instruction objects (for example, display instruction objects 42a to 42d) for displaying the mounted gift are distributed with the distribution user device 20a of the distribution user Ua It is displayed on at least one of the distribution user devices 20b of the user Ub. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 9a and 9b, display instruction objects 42a, 42c, 42d are displayed on both the distribution user device 20a and the distribution user device 20b. In this case, both of the distribution user Ua and the distribution user Ub can select the display instruction objects 42a, 42c and 42d. In one embodiment, when one of the distribution user Ua and the distribution user Ub selects the displayed display instruction object, the other user can not select the selected display instruction object. For example, as shown in FIGS. 11a and 11b, when the display instruction object 42d is selected by the distribution user Ub, the display instruction object 42d is displayed from the display image 330 displayed on the distribution user device 20b of the distribution user Ub. Is deleted, and the display instruction object 42d is also deleted from the display image 330 displayed on the distribution user device 20a of the distribution user Ua. As a result, after the display instruction object 42d is selected by the distribution user Ub, the display instruction object 42d can not be selected by the distribution user Ua who is the co-star. Conversely, after the display instruction object 42d is selected by the distribution user Ua, it is not possible to select the display instruction object 42d by the distribution user Ub who is the co-stars.

  In another embodiment, when the viewing user is gifting the wearing gift, it can be specified to which of the distribution users co-starring in the co-rendering video the gifting is to be performed. More specifically, the viewing user specifies, to the first display request requesting display of the attached gift, to which user of the distribution users co-starring in the co-rendered video the gifted gift is to be gifted be able to. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 and 9a-9b, the user viewing the co-rendered image shown in FIG. 8 selects a gift button 32 to be a gifting target. A wearing gift can be selected, and the distribution user Ua or the distribution user Ub can be selected as a gifting destination of the selected wearing gift. The selection of the distribution user Ua or the distribution user Ub may be performed through the selection of the respective character object 131 or the character object 31. When the distribution user Ub (character object 31) is designated in the display request for the installation gift indicating the earring described above, the display instruction object 42d corresponding to the installation gift corresponds to the distribution user device 20b of the distribution user Ub. , And may not be displayed on the distribution user device 20a of the distribution user Ua not designated. In another aspect, when the distribution user Ub (character object 31) is designated in the display request for the attached gift indicating an earring, the display instruction object 42d corresponding to the attached gift is delivered by the distribution user Ua. Although displayed on both the user device 20a and the distribution user device 20b of the distribution user Ub, the display instruction object 42d may not be selectable from the distribution user device 20a of the distribution user Ua not designated. As described above, when the gift destination is designated in the display request of the wearing gift, the delivery instructing user object for the wearing gift can be selected in the delivery user device of the designated delivery user, and the designated delivery is performed. In the distribution user devices of distribution users other than the user, the display instruction object for the attached gift can not be selected.

  In another embodiment, the display instruction object may be selectable only at the distribution user device of the distribution user who has distributed the original moving image of the co-rendered moving image. In the example displayed in FIG. 8 and FIGS. 9a to 9b, the display instruction objects 42a, 42c, 42d are distribution users because the distribution user Ua applied for a co-star to the moving image originally distributed by the distribution user Ub. While being selectable in the distribution user apparatus 20b of Ub, the distribution user apparatus 20a of the distribution user Ua may not be selectable. For example, while the display instruction objects 42a, 42c, 42d are displayed on the distribution user device 20b, they may not be displayed on the distribution user device 20a of the distribution user Ua.

  When the co-rendering distribution user selects the display instruction object to display the attached gift, the character object to which the selected attached gift is attached may be designated. For example, when the distribution user Ub selects the display instruction object 42d and causes the installation gift 138 to be displayed in the co-presentation moving image, it may be mounted on its own character object 31 or may be mounted on the character 131 of the distribution user Ua who is the co-comparator. You may For example, when the display instruction object 42d is selected in the distribution user device 20b, a choice of a character object may be displayed on the distribution user device 20b.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 14 to 16, a moving image distribution process according to one aspect will be described. FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing the flow of moving picture delivery processing in one embodiment, FIG. 15 is a flow chart showing the flow of processing for displaying a normal object in one embodiment, and FIG. 16 is one flow It is a flow figure showing the flow of processing which displays the wearing object in. In the moving image distribution process described with reference to these figures, a moving image generated based on the face motion data acquired by the distribution user Ub using the distribution user device 20b is distributed, and this moving image is viewed It is assumed that a co-star application is made from the distribution user Ua who is

  First, in step S11, face motion data, which is a digital representation of the movement (expression) of the faces of the distribution users Ua and Ub, is generated. The generation of face motion data is performed, for example, by the face motion data generation unit 211 a of the distribution user device 20. In the delivery user device 20, voice data may be generated based on voice input from the delivery users Ua and Ub. The generated face motion data and voice data are transmitted to the server device 60.

  Next, in step S12, the face motion data from the distribution user device 20 is applied to model data for the distribution users Ua and Ub, whereby a character object that moves in synchronization with the movement of expressions of the distribution users Ua and Ub. An animation of is generated. The generation of this animation is performed, for example, by the above-mentioned animation generation unit 61a.

  Next, in step S13, a moving image including animation of character objects corresponding to the distribution users Ua and Ub is generated. The voices of the distribution users Ua and Ub may be synthesized with this moving image. The animation of the character object is displayed superimposed on the background image. The generation of the moving image is performed, for example, by the above-described moving image generating unit 61 b.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S14, and the moving image generated in step S13 is distributed. This moving image is distributed via the network 50 to the viewing user device 10 and other viewing user devices and distribution user devices. The video is distributed continuously over a predetermined distribution period. The distribution period of the moving image may be set to, for example, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes, and any other time.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S15, and it is determined whether a co-star application has been made by a user other than the distribution user Ub. The co-star application is made, for example, from the distribution user Ua. When the co-star application is made by the distribution user Ua, the process proceeds to step S16. In step S16, an animation of the character object 131 of the distribution user Ua is generated based on the face motion data of the distribution user Ua. Then, an animation of the character object 131 of the distribution user Ua is added to the moving image being distributed (moving image including the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub), thereby generating a co-play image. The processing in step S16 is performed, for example, by the co-player application processing unit 61f described above.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S17, and the co-played moving image generated in step S16 is distributed. The co-rendered moving image is distributed to the viewing user device 10 and other viewing user devices and distribution user devices via the network 50. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B, the co-presenting moving image includes an animation of the character object 131 of the distribution user Ua and an animation of the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S18, and it is determined whether the termination condition for terminating the distribution of the moving image is satisfied. The end condition is, for example, that the end time of distribution has been reached, that the distribution user Ub has performed an operation for ending distribution in the distribution user device 20b, or other conditions. If the end condition is not satisfied, the processing of steps S11 to S17 is repeatedly executed, and a moving image including an animation synchronized with the movement of the distribution user Ub, or a co-department moving image when the co-star with the distribution user Ua continues Delivery will continue. If it is determined that the ending condition is satisfied for the moving image, the distribution processing of the moving image is ended.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 15 further, display processing of a normal gift performed during delivery of a moving image will be described. The display process of the normal gift is performed in parallel with the distribution process of the moving image shown in FIG.

  During distribution of a moving image, it is determined in step S21 whether a request for displaying a normal gift has been made. For example, the viewing user selects one or more specific normal gifts from the normal gifts held by the viewing user, and the display user device 10 requests the server device 60 to display the selected normal gift. Can be sent to. As described above, the display request for the predetermined normal gift may be generated in response to the predetermined normal gift purchase processing or payment processing being performed.

  When the display request for the normal gift is made, the display processing proceeds to step S22. In step S22, based on the display request, processing for displaying the normal gift whose display is requested on the moving image being distributed is performed. For example, when a display request for a normal gift is made during delivery of a predetermined moving image, as shown in FIG. 5, a normal gift corresponding to a normal gift for which a display request is made in the display screen 30 of the viewing user device 10 is Objects 37a and 37b are displayed.

  If the gift display request has not been made, the gift display processing ends. The normal gift display process shown in FIG. 15 is repeated during the distribution period of the moving image. The display process of the effect gift can also be performed in the same procedure as the display process of the normal gift described above.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 16 further, display processing of the attached gift performed during delivery of the moving image will be described. The display process of the attached gift is performed in parallel with the distribution process of the moving image shown in FIG. Further, the display process of the attached gift may be performed in parallel with the display process of the normal gift shown in FIG.

  During the distribution of the moving image, it is determined in step S31 whether or not a request for displaying the attached gift has been made. For example, the first viewing user can transmit, from the viewing user device 10 to the server device 60, a display request for requesting display of the attached gift held by the first viewing user.

  When the display request for the attached gift is made, the display processing proceeds to step S32. In step S32, a display instruction object associated with the attached gift whose display is requested is displayed on the display screen 40 of the distribution user device 20 based on the display request. For example, when the display request for the attached gift indicating the headband is made, the display instruction object 42b associated with the attached gift is displayed on the display screen 40 of the distribution user device 20.

  Next, in step S33, it is determined whether or not a specific display instruction object is selected from among the display instruction objects included in the display screen 40 of the distribution user device 20.

  When a specific display instruction object is selected, in step S34, processing is performed to display the attached gift corresponding to the selected specific display instruction object on the display screen of the moving image being distributed. For example, when the display instruction object 42b included in the display screen 40 is selected, the display image 30 and the display image 40 are selected as shown in FIGS. 6, 7a and 7b. The mounted object 38 associated with the display instruction object 42 b is displayed. Also, the selected display instruction object 42 b is deleted from the display screen 40.

  When none of the display instruction objects is selected in step S33, and when the display process of the attached gift is completed in step S34, the display process of the attached gift ends.

  According to the above-described embodiment, when the first display request to request the display of the attached gift is made from the viewing user of the co-starred moving image, the distribution user Ua is not displayed immediately in the co-starred moving image, Alternatively, the attached gift is displayed in accordance with the selection of the display instruction objects 42a to 42d by the distribution user Ub. As a result, even if a large amount of gift gifts are provided from the viewing user of the co-performing video, the mounting object can be displayed in order within the co-performing video. This can prevent deterioration of the viewing experience of the viewing user. According to the above embodiment, the attached gift is attached to only one of the character object of the co-rendering distribution user Ua and the character object of the distribution user Ub. In this case, since the number of mounted objects displayed in the co-rendered moving image can be suppressed, the mounted objects can be more neatly displayed on the co-rendered moving image.

  According to the above embodiment, the display instruction object is displayed on both the distribution user apparatus 20a of the distribution user Ua and the distribution user apparatus 20b of the distribution user Ub. As a result, the distribution user Ua who has made the co-star application is also given the opportunity to wear the wearing gift that has been gifted in the co-star movie. The distribution user Ua can obtain an opportunity to wear many attached gifts by making a co-star application to the distribution user Ub collecting a large amount of gifting. The delivery user wants to perform attractive decoration on his character object. As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to provide a trigger for making a co-star application to the distribution user Ua.

  According to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to specify the destination to which the mounted object is assigned by the viewing user. This makes it possible to gift the worn gift to the intended distribution user without being intercepted by the co-starring distribution user.

  According to the above embodiment, the display instruction object is displayed only on the distribution user device 20b of the distribution user (for example, the distribution user Ub) that has distributed the original moving image. Although two or more distribution users co-perform in the co-performing video, it is desirable to have the distribution user who was distributing the original video manage the video. According to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to entrust the determination as to whether or not to display the attached gift, not to the co-star who has made the co-star application but to the distribution user who has distributed the original video.

  The display time of the normal gifts 37a and 37b can be set shorter than that of the attached gift 38, and the normal objects 37a and 37b are not in contact with the character object 31 or behind the character object 31 instead of in front of the character object 31. May be displayed. In this case, the normal objects 37a and 37b have little influence on the visibility of the character object 31 in the moving image being distributed. Therefore, with regard to the normal gift, even if it is displayed on the moving image automatically (without the permission of the distribution users Ua and Ub) according to the display request from the viewing user, the viewing experience of the user due to the deterioration of the visibility of the character object 31 It is hard to lead to deterioration.

  According to the above embodiment, the viewing user who views the moving image including the character object such as the character object 31 is considered to have attachment to the character object. Therefore, since the appearance of the character object can be improved by attaching the attached gift to the character object rather than the effect gift or the normal gift, the degree of satisfaction of the viewing user who provided the attached gift can be increased. As described above, it is possible to provide the user with an incentive to repeatedly view and listen to the moving image including the character object by the attached object to which the character object can be attached.

  In the moving image distribution system 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the user can give a mounted object to the character. This makes it possible to provide a system with a high degree of uniqueness as compared to a system that can not give such a wearing object, and to provide a highly unique service by the system. As a result, it is possible to attract more users to the moving picture distribution system 1, so it is possible to increase the number of viewing times of moving pictures in the moving picture distribution system 1.

  In the moving image distribution system 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the distribution users Ua and Ub can distribute moving images including a character object that moves according to their own expression by the distribution user device 20 provided with a camera such as a smartphone. As described above, in the moving image distribution system 1, the facilities for the distribution users Ua and Ub to distribute moving images are simplified, so a platform in which the distribution users Ua and Ub can easily participate is realized.

  In the processing procedure described in the present specification, in particular, the processing procedure described using the flow chart, part of the steps (steps) constituting the processing procedure may be omitted, and as the steps constituting the processing procedure. It is possible to add a process that is not specified and / or to change the order of the process, and the processing procedure in which such omission, addition, or change of order is made is not limited to the present invention unless it deviates from the spirit of the present invention. Included in the scope of the invention.

  At least a part of the functions implemented by the computer processor 61 may be implemented by a computer processor other than the computer processor 61 of the video distribution system 1. At least a part of the functions implemented by the computer processor 61 may be implemented by, for example, the computer processor 21 of the distribution user device 20 or by the computer processor of the viewing user device 10. Specifically, some or all of the functions of the animation generation unit 61a and the moving image generation unit 61b may be executed by the distribution user device 20. For example, the moving image generated in the distribution user device 20 may be transmitted to the server device 60 and may be distributed from the server device 60 to the viewing user device 10.

  When a co-star application is made from the distribution user Ua who is viewing a moving image including the character object 31 of the distribution user Ub with the distribution user Ub, the animation of the character object 131 of the distribution user Ua who has made the co-star application is a server It may be generated by the device 60, the distribution user device 20a of the distribution user Ua, the distribution user device 20b of the distribution user Ub, the viewing user device 10, or other devices. In one example, when the animation of the character object 131 of the distribution user Ua is generated by the distribution user device 20b of the distribution user Ub, the distribution user device 20a of the distribution user Ua can transmit to the distribution user device 20b of the distribution user Ub. Thus, face motion data and voice data of the delivery user Ua are transmitted. The distribution user device 20b generates animation of the character object 131 by applying the face motion data and voice data of the distribution user Ua received from the distribution user device 20a to model data for the distribution user Ua. The model data for the distribution user Ua may be transmitted from the server device 60 to the distribution user device 20a. In another example, when the animation of the character object 131 of the distribution user Ua is generated by the viewing user device 10, the face motion data of the distribution user Ua from the distribution user device 20a of the distribution user Ua to the viewing user device 10 The voice data is transmitted, and the distribution user device 20b of the distribution user Ub transmits face motion data and voice data of the distribution user Ub to the viewing user device 10. In the viewing user device 10, the animation of the character object 131 is generated by applying the face motion data and voice data of the distribution user Ua received from the distribution user device 20a to model data for the distribution user Ua, and from the distribution user device 20b The animation of the character object 31 may be generated by applying the received face motion data and voice data of the distribution user Ub to model data for the distribution user Ub. The model data for the distribution user Ua and the model data for the distribution user Ub may be transmitted from the server device 60 to the viewing user device 10. Thus, the animation of the distribution user's character object may be generated by any device included in the video distribution system 1. Animations of character objects may be generated by devices not explicitly shown in FIG. To the apparatus for generating the animation of the character object, face motion data and voice data of the delivery user Ua are transmitted from the delivery user device 20a of the delivery user Ua, and face motion data of the delivery user Ub from the delivery user device 20b And voice data is transmitted. Body motion may be sent in addition to face motion.

  In addition, the generation of the co-depiction moving image including the character object 131 of the generated distribution user Ua, the distribution moving image of the distribution user Ub, and the character object 31 is generated by the server device 60, the distribution user device 20a of the distribution user Ua, and the distribution user Ub It may be performed by either the user device 20 b or the viewing user device 10.

  The co-rendering moving image may include character objects of three or more distribution users. That is, three or more distribution users may virtually play in the moving image by using each character object.
