A chat system 100 shown in FIG. 1 is used, for example, in sports competitions such as baseball, when chatting about the content of the game. By using this chat system 100, it is possible to notify the game situation using chat so that even those who cannot participate in or directly watch the game can grasp the game situation. In the following, baseball will be described as an example of a sports game, but it is not limited to this, and the same explanation can be applied to other sports such as soccer, volleyball, tennis, and badminton. The chat system 100 can also be applied to competitions other than sports, such as dance competitions (dance competitions), piano competitions (performance competitions), karuta competitions (card competitions or table game competitions), and karaoke competitions (singing competitions). be.

As shown in FIG. 1, the chat system 100 includes a camera 10, a score input unit 20, a server 30, and chat terminal devices 40 and 40A. The camera 10 shoots the content of the match, for example, on the match ground. Video data captured by the camera 10 is transmitted to, for example, the server 30 and managed by the server 30 . For example, a plurality of cameras 10 are provided. Also, the camera 10 may be a camera attached to a mobile phone, a smart phone, or the like, as long as it can capture video data. When the camera 10 captures video data, the camera 10 includes data indicating the time of capture in the video data.

The score input unit 20 inputs game situation data indicating the situation of the game to the server 30 . In this embodiment, game situation data indicating the situation of a baseball game includes, for example, score data. Score data is data that forms a score recorded in a baseball scorebook, and is individual events that form a series of events starting from the pitch of a pitcher. A score is a collection of score data. Therefore, each time the pitcher throws a pitch, a plurality of pieces of score data are created, thereby creating one score. For example, if the batting result while on first base is a right flyout and the first base runner is also touched out, the score data that the batter is out, the score data that the batter is right fly, and the first base runner. Score data indicating that is out is created, and one score is constructed from these score data.

In the score, in addition to the score data illustrated above, the batter's action, the fielder's action, the confirmation of the count, the progress of the runner if there is already a runner on base, and other batter and fielder's Score data such as other behaviors may be included. Specifically, the score may include score data such as strikes, balls, fouls, batting results, batted ball types, catching pitchers, base advance results, and the like. The batting result is information such as an out, a first base, a double, a triple, and a home run. The type of hit ball is information such as ground ball, liner, fly, bunt, etc., and may be further classified. The catching fielder is information for specifying the fielder who actually caught the batted ball or the fielding position of the fielder. The advancement result is information regarding the advancement of runners on base, such as "1st base to 2nd base", and can also include other actions of batter and fielder.

Examples of the score input unit 20 include an application for inputting the score data as electronic data to the server 30 . In this case, the score input unit 20 may be provided in a processing device such as a personal computer installed outside the server 30 . Also, the score input unit 20 may be provided in the server 30 . Note that the score input unit 20 may not be provided in the present embodiment.

The server 30 centrally manages the chat system 100 . The server 30 has various applications, data, programs, etc. for managing the chat system 100 . As the server 30, for example, a personal computer, a workstation, or the like is used, but the server 30 is not limited to this.

A plurality of chat groups are set in the server 30 . A chat group is individually set for each competition, each game, or each team, for example. The server 30 performs various processes described below for each chat group.

The server 30 includes a video data acquisition unit 31, a score data acquisition unit (game situation data acquisition unit) 32, a chat data processing unit 33, a tag information setting unit 34, a server side communication unit 35, and a video data selection unit. 36 and a storage unit 39 .

The video data acquisition unit 31 acquires video data captured by the multiple cameras 10 . The video data acquisition unit 31 causes the storage unit 39 to store the acquired video data. The score data acquisition unit 32 acquires score data input from the score input unit 20 as game situation data. The score data acquiring unit 32 stores the score data in the storage unit 39 in association with the input time when the score data is input.

When the server 30 stores the video data and the chat data, the video data and the chat data are uploaded to the server 30 . When storing the chat data, the server 30 includes the data of the time when the chat data was stored (hereinafter referred to as upload time) in the chat data. That is, the chat data uploaded to the server 30 includes upload time data. The server 30 has a management application that manages video data and chat data.

The chat data processing unit 33 stores chat data input from the chat terminal device 40 in the storage unit 39 . Further, when score data is acquired by the score data acquisition unit 32, the chat data processing unit 33 generates chat data having contents according to the score data. In this case, the chat data processing unit 33 can generate chat data representing, for example, the content of the score data in characters or the like. As a result, when the score data is updated, the updated score data can be confirmed as chat information.

The tag information setting section 34 sets tag information for each of the plurality of video data acquired by the video data acquisition section 31 . The tag information includes tag ranges and evaluation points. The tag range is a time range corresponding to the input time when the score data is input in each piece of video data. The tag range is set so as to include, for example, a scene in which a situation corresponding to the score data occurs in a game. The input time of the score data is the time after the corresponding batting result or the like is determined in the match. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the tag range can be defined as a range of time, for example, with the input time of the score data as the end time and the start time at a time that is a predetermined time before the input time.

An evaluation point is set for each tag range. A score is a value for weighting a tag range. In the following, it is assumed that the higher the evaluation score, the greater the weighting of the tag range. Note that the mode of setting evaluation points is not limited to the above, and other modes may be used.

A method of setting evaluation points will be described below. The tag information setting unit 34 can set evaluation points according to the user of the chat terminal device 40 . In this case, the tag information setting unit 34 can set evaluation points based on user-specific information set in the chat terminal device 40 by the user, for example. As for the user-specific information, for example, when a favorite player such as a user's family member or friend is set in the chat terminal device 40, information on the favorite player can be used as the user-specific information. Note that the user-specific information may be in another form.

Further, when the positions of the plurality of cameras 10 and the chat terminal device 40 can be detected, the tag information setting unit 34 can detect the positions of the plurality of cameras 10 for shooting the game and the position of the user's chat terminal device 40, for example. Evaluation points can be set based on The positions of the plurality of cameras 10 and chat terminal devices 40 can be realized, for example, by providing a position detection unit or the like capable of detecting the positions of each. In this case, the tag information setting unit 34 sets a low evaluation point for the tag range of the photographed data of the camera 10 arranged at a position close to the chat terminal device 40 of the user, for example, and sets a tag range far from the chat terminal device 40 of the user. A high evaluation point can be set for the tag range of the photographed data of the camera 10 arranged at the position. Thereby, a high evaluation point is set for video data different from the viewpoint of the user.

Further, when the user's chat terminal device 40 is present at the game venue, that is, when the user is at the game venue, the tag information setting unit 34 evaluates the entire video close to the user's viewpoint among the plurality of video data. A low score can be set, and a high evaluation score can be set for a zoom image that is different from the user's viewpoint.

Moreover, the tag information setting unit 34 can set evaluation points regardless of the user of the chat terminal device 40 . In this case, for example, the tag information setting unit 34 can set evaluation points based on the contents of the score data and the positions of the cameras 10 . Specifically, when a right-handed batter hits, the image data obtained by the camera 10 on the left side, which can photograph the right-handed batter from the front, is evaluated with a high score, and the image data obtained by the camera 10 on the right side is evaluated. Points can be set lower. Similarly, when the left-handed batter hits, the evaluation point of the video data captured by the right-side camera 10 capable of photographing the left-handed batter from the front side is set high, and the evaluation score of the video data captured by the left-side camera 10 is increased. Can be set lower.

FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing an example of tag information. In FIG. 2, a case where image data A and image data B captured by two cameras 10 are acquired will be described as an example. As shown in FIG. 2, in video data A and video data B, tag ranges AT1, AT2, BT1, and BT2 whose end times are input times t1 and t2 at which score data is input are set. The tag ranges AT1 and AT2 are set with start times t3 and t4 that are a predetermined time before the end times t1 and t2. In the video data A, the tag range AT1 is assigned an evaluation point of 30 points, and the tag range AT2 is assigned an evaluation point of 70 points. On the other hand, in the video data B, an evaluation point of 60 points is set for the tag range BT1, and an evaluation point of 50 points is set for the tag range BT2.

Regarding the setting of the start times of the tag ranges AT1, AT2, BT1, and BT2, for example, when there is a batting result such as a first base hit or a double base hit during a match, the pitcher pitches, the batter hits and runs, For example, by advancing to first base, second base, etc., the batting result is determined. Therefore, the input times t1 and t2 when the score data is input are the times after the batting result is determined.

Therefore, the tag information setting unit 34 sets start times t3 and t4 that are a predetermined time P1 before the input times t1 and t2 of the score data, so that the time at which a series of scenes related to the batting result starts or a time close to that time is set. display data can be displayed from The predetermined time P1 may be set in advance, or the tag information setting unit 34 may set the predetermined time P1.

For example, the tag information setting unit 34 may set the predetermined time P1 longer as the amount of chat data processed by the chat data processing unit 33 increases. If the amount of chat data is large, in other words, if the chat contains a large number of characters, etc., it will take longer to enter the chat data, and it will take longer to upload the chat after the hit result is confirmed. be done. Therefore, the tag information setting unit 34 determines that the larger the size of the chat data, the longer the time from when the hitting result is determined until the chat is uploaded, and sets the predetermined time P1 longer. It should be noted that the length of the predetermined time P1 set in this case can be appropriately changed according to the type of sports competition. Also, the operator may be allowed to arbitrarily set the predetermined time P1.

The server-side communication unit 35 can communicate with the chat terminal device 40 . The server-side communication unit 35 can transmit chat data and video data stored in the storage unit 39, for example.

The video data selection unit 36 selects one video data from a plurality of video data stored in the storage unit 39 according to the evaluation points, and causes the server-side communication unit 35 to transmit the video data to the chat terminal device 40 . For example, when chat data corresponding to a server message generated by the chat data processing unit 33 is specified in the chat terminal device 40, the tag range corresponding to the specified chat data is detected. The video data selection unit 36 selects video data to be transmitted to the chat terminal device 40 from multiple video data captured by the multiple cameras 10 based on the evaluation points set in the tag range. The video data selection unit 36 causes the server-side communication unit 35 to transmit the video data from the start time of the tag range corresponding to the designated chat data among the selected video data to the chat terminal device 40 .

In the example of the video data A and B shown in FIG. 2, if the specified chat data corresponds to the tag ranges AT1 and BT1, the video data selector 36 compares the evaluation points of the tag ranges AT1 and BT1. . The evaluation point of the tag range AT1 is 30 points, and the evaluation point of the tag range BT1 is 60 points. Therefore, tag range BT1 is higher than tag range AT1. In this case, the video data selection unit 36 selects the video data B including the tag range BT1 with a high evaluation score, and transmits the video data from the start time of the tag range BT1 to the chat terminal device 40 via the server-side communication unit 35. Send to
