[Terminal hardware configuration]
Some terminals 100 may be used as gaming terminals for playing games. The terminal 100 used as a game terminal provides the user with a game function for playing games provided by the game system 10. Some terminals 100 may be used as distribution terminals 100B. The distribution terminal 100B provides the user with a distribution function that distributes viewing content including at least game play by a distribution user who is a distributor in real time. Distribution terminal 100B is used by a distribution user. The distribution user is a game player. In other words, the distribution terminal 100B is also a game terminal. The content for viewing may include a moving image or a still image of a distribution user's game play. The viewing content may include at least one of audio and text data. As an example, the viewing content may include the voice of the distribution user.

Some terminals 100 may be used as viewing terminals 100C. The viewing terminal 100C provides the user with a viewing function for viewing viewing content distributed by a distribution user. The viewing terminal 100C is used by a viewing user who is a viewer. Terminals 100 other than the distribution terminal 100B and the viewing terminal 100C are general terminals 100A. General terminal 100A may be used as a game terminal. The general terminal 100A is used by general users other than distribution users and viewing users. A general user may participate in the same game as a distribution user. In the following description, one or more users among a plurality of users may be referred to as a first user, and one or more users different from the first user may be referred to as a second user. The first user can be a general user and a distribution user. The first user may be a viewing user. The second user can be a general user and a viewing user. The second user may be a distribution user.

As an example, terminal 100 is a smartphone. The terminal 100 may be a mobile terminal device such as a feature phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a tablet computer. Each terminal 100 may be a fixed terminal device, such as a personal computer (PC) or a workstation. For example, the terminal 100 includes a processor 110, a memory 120, and a storage 130. The terminal 100 may further include a communication interface (IF) 140 and an input/output IF 150. Terminal 100 may further include a microphone 160, a speaker 162, and a touch screen 164. Each of the plurality of components included in terminal 100 is connected to communication bus 180.

Processor 110 executes a series of instructions included in a program stored in memory 120 or storage 130 in response to a signal provided to terminal 100 or in response to a predetermined condition being met. For example, the processor 110 is implemented as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processor Unit), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), or other arithmetic device.

Memory 120 temporarily stores programs and data. As an example, the program is read from storage 130. The data may include data sent to terminal 100 and data generated by processor 110. For example, the memory 120 is implemented as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or other volatile memory.

Storage 130 permanently retains programs and data. For example, the storage 130 is implemented as a ROM (Read-Only Memory), a hard disk drive, a flash memory, or other non-volatile storage device. Storage 130 may be realized as a removable storage device such as a memory card.

The programs stored in the storage 130 include a first game program, a second game program, a distribution program, a viewing program, and a communication program. As an example, the first game program implements a first game function that provides a first game among the games. As an example, the first game is a game in which a plurality of users compete to win or lose in a game space. A game space is an example of a virtual space. The first game program realizes functions for providing a game space and operating objects (for example, avatars) arranged in the game space. That is, the first game program realizes a function of providing an environment for the first user to play a game.

As an example, the second game program implements a second game function that provides a second game among the games. As an example, the second game includes providing the user with one or more values determined by a provided lottery. The provided lottery is to determine one or more values from among a plurality of values that can be used in a specific scene in the game. In the following explanation, the value that can be used in a specific scene in the game will be referred to as "in-game value." Further, the value that can be provided to the user in the second game is referred to as "provided value." As an example, the specific scene in the game is the scene where the first game is being executed. The specific scene is not limited to this, and may be a scene where the second game is being executed, or may be the entire game. Rights to the second game can be acquired by paying in-game currency. In-game currency is an example of in-game value. The in-game currency may be a value that is given to the user through charging, or may be a value that can be given to the user without charging. Paying in-game currency is consuming in-game currency. As an example, the second game program realizes a function of executing a provided lottery and a function of giving a user the provided value won in the provided lottery. That is, the second game program realizes a function of providing an environment for the first user to play a game.

The distribution program realizes a distribution function that distributes viewing content including at least game play. While realizing this distribution function, the terminal 100 becomes a distribution terminal 100B. The viewing program implements a viewing function that provides viewing of viewing content. While realizing this viewing function, the terminal 100 becomes the viewing terminal 100C. In the following description, a state in which the terminal 100 implements a distribution function is referred to as a "distribution state", and a state in which the terminal 100 implements a viewing function is referred to as a "viewing state". That is, the terminal 100 becomes the distribution terminal 100B when it is in the distribution state, and becomes the viewing terminal 100C when it is in the viewing state. A state in which the terminal 100 is not in a distribution state and is not in a viewing state is an initial state. The terminal 100 becomes a general terminal 100A when it is in the initial state.

The communication program implements the function of communicating with another computer (for example, server 200). Programs stored in storage 130 may include an operating system, a simulation program, a user authentication program, and other programs. For example, the data stored in the storage 130 includes definition data of a virtual space (game space), object data for various objects placed in the virtual space, and user data. As an example, user data may include a user name, account ID, in-game value held by the user, gender, age, address, etc. The in-game value held by the user may include in-game currency held by the user.

Communication IF 140 is connected to network 90 . Communication IF 140 communicates with other computers (for example, server 200) connected to network 90. For example, the communication IF 140 is realized as a LAN (Local Area Network) or other wired communication IF. For example, the communication IF 140 is implemented as Wi-Fi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), NFC (Near Field Communication), or other wireless communication IF. The communication IF 140 is not limited to the one described above.

For example, the input/output IF 150 is implemented as a USB (Universal Serial Bus), DVI (Digital Visual Interface), HDMI (registered trademark) (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), or other wired communication IF. For example, the input/output IF 150 is implemented as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or other wireless communication IF.

As an example, input/output device 190 is a controller. For example, the input/output IF 150 transmits instructions output from the processor 110 to the controller. The command instructs the controller to vibrate, output sound, or emit light. When the controller receives the command, it vibrates, outputs sound, or emits light according to the command. The controller has one or more operating parts. For example, the one or more operating parts include a button, key, switch, handle, bar, touch pad, or stick. The controller transmits to the terminal 100 an output value based on the user's operation on the operation part. As an example, the controller may include motion sensors such as acceleration sensors and angular velocity sensors. The controller may be configured to send the output value of the motion sensor to the terminal 100. The controller may be attachable to and detachable from the terminal 100.

The input/output device 190 is not limited to those described above. For example, input/output device 190 may be a camera. The camera may be configured to transmit a captured image of the user to the terminal 100. For example, the input/output device 190 may be a ranging sensor. The ranging sensor may be configured to transmit an output value based on detection of the user's hand, marker, etc. to the terminal 100.

Microphone 160 converts the user's speech into an audio signal (electrical signal) and transmits it to processor 110. The speaker 162 converts the audio signal into audio and outputs it to the user. In addition to or instead of the speaker 162, the terminal 100 may include an earphone or an earphone jack to which an earphone can be connected.

Touch screen 164 includes a monitor 166 and a touch sensor 167. The monitor 166 is implemented as a transmissive or non-transmissive display device. For example, the monitor 166 is implemented as a liquid crystal monitor, an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) monitor, or other display device. The monitor 166 displays various images. The image displayed on the monitor 166 includes various objects such as a background, a user's avatar, obstacles, characters, windows, buttons, menus, lists, and icons. The monitor 166 is not limited to the one described above. For example, the monitor 166 may be a 3D monitor that includes a sub-monitor that displays an image for the left eye and a sub-monitor that displays an image for the right eye.

Touch sensor 167 transmits an output value based on a user's operation on monitor 166 to processor 110. As an example, touch sensor 167 is implemented as a capacitive touch sensor, a resistive touch sensor, an ultrasonic touch sensor, or other touch sensor. The input surface of the touch sensor 167 is part or all of the display surface of the monitor 166. The touch sensor 167 can be used as an operation unit configured to accept user input operations. For example, when the operation unit is the touch sensor 167, the processor 110 accepts the user's physical contact operation on the input surface of the touch sensor 167 as the user's input operation. For example, the user's input operations on the touch sensor 167 may include touch operations, slide operations, swipe operations, tap operations, and other forms of operations.

The operation unit is not limited to the configuration described above. For example, when the operation unit is the communication IF 140, the processor 110 receives a signal transmitted from an operation device (not shown) connected via the network 90 as a user's input operation. For example, when the operation unit is the input/output IF 150, the processor 110 receives a signal transmitted from the external input/output device 190 as the user's input operation. For example, when the input/output device 190 is a camera and a ranging sensor, when the user's hand is detected from the received photographed image, the processor 110 performs a gesture (the user's hand) detected based on the photographed image and the output value. (a series of movements) are accepted as user input operations. For example, if the input/output device 190 is a controller, the processor 110 receives an output value transmitted from the controller as a user's input operation.

[Summary of the first game]
As an example, the first game includes multiple parts with different properties. As an example, the plurality of parts includes a first part and a second part. As an example, the first part is a part that prepares for the second part. As an example, the second part is a part in which a plurality of users compete in a competition to decide the winner or loser based on some criteria. In the second part, each distribution user and general user operates their own avatar.

As an example, the first part has the following specifications.
In the first part, the distribution user and the general user prepare for the second part. Preparation for the second part includes changing avatar settings. As an example, in the first part, it is possible to change the character used as an avatar. As an example, in the first part, it is possible to change equipment items and consumable items as items owned by the avatar. Modifications to these items may include additions, deletions, and replacements. For example, equipment items include weapons, armor, accessories, and the like. Equipped items increase the avatar's ability parameter values. A consumable item can be used in the second part if it is possessed by the avatar. For example, consumable items include wound medicine, magic medicine, strengthening medicine, and the like. Potion restores hit points, which is one of the ability parameter values. Magic potions restore magic points, which are one of the ability parameter values. Enhancement medicines temporarily increase ability parameter values by a certain value.

In the first part, several consumable items may be available. The consumable items may include growth items that permanently increase the ability parameter value by a certain value. Consumable items may include skill items that allow the avatar to learn skills or magic. The consumable items may include modification items that grant the right to change the avatar's race, gender, body shape, hairstyle, or facial expression. The first part is not limited to this, and the first part may be configured such that the settings of the avatar can be changed without consuming items.

As an example, the second part of the first game has the following specifications.
The second part is a competitive game (hereinafter referred to as a competitive game) in which two users compete in a one-on-one battle. In a competitive game, multiple users operate their respective avatars in a field constructed in a game space. In the second part, the criterion for determining victory or defeat is that one user satisfies a predetermined victory condition before the opposing user. One of the victory conditions is that the enemy user's avatar becomes incapacitated. As an example, an avatar becomes incapacitated when its hit points become 0. Hit points are one of the ability parameter values.

The second part ends when a predetermined time limit (game time) has elapsed even if the enemy user does not become unable to fight. One of the victory conditions is that the user has obtained more scores than the enemy user when the time limit for the second part has elapsed. In the second part, each user can increase their score by collecting designated objects placed in the game space.

The first game is not limited to the configuration described above. For example, the second part may be a battle game in which multiple users are divided into multiple camps and battle. A plurality of users may belong to each camp. One or more parties may belong to each faction. It is preferable that multiple users belong to one party. An upper limit may be set on the number of members who can belong to one party. As an example, the maximum number of people in one party is six. The maximum number of people in one party may be from 2 to 5 people, or may be 7 or more people. For example, a party can include a small group formed in another part or a small group formed by people who have a relationship such as friends. It is also possible to form a party with a maximum of 6 people by combining a group of 2 people, a group of 3 people, and an individual user, or to form a party with 6 individual users.

For example, the second part may be a competitive game in which multiple users play sports such as soccer, tennis, table tennis, boxing, or basketball. For example, the second part may be a competitive game in which multiple users compete in a race such as a car race, yacht race, ski race, or flight race.

[Summary of the second game]
As an example, the second game has the following specifications.
The second game is a game (hereinafter referred to as a lottery game) in which the user can acquire one or more in-game values selected from a plurality of offered values by lottery.

As an example, the provided value may include a character (hereinafter referred to as provided character) that can be used as an avatar in the first game. As an example, the provided value may include items that can be used in the first game (hereinafter referred to as provided items). The provided items may include one or more of equipment items and consumable items that can be used in the first game. As an example, the provided value may further include in-game currency in addition to the provided characters and provided items.

As an example, multiple types of provided values may be classified into multiple rarity levels. Rarity indicates how difficult it is to obtain throughout the game. As an example, the degree of rarity may be defined by the winning probability P in the provided lottery. As an example, the plurality of types of provided values can be divided into two types: a first rarity level in which the winning probability P in the provided lottery is a first probability P1, and a second rarity level in which the winning probability P in the provided lottery is a second probability P2. However, P2<P1. In the following explanation, the provided value of the second rarity level will be referred to as "rare provided value." The provided value of the first rarity level is referred to as "normal provided value."

Each rarity level classifies multiple types of provided value. Note that the winning probability P that distinguishes the first rarity level and the second rarity level can be changed arbitrarily. As an example, the winning probability P of each offered value is equal to the offering probability (offering ratio) in a lottery game. The configuration is not limited to the above configuration, and multiple types of in-game values may be divided into three or more rarities.

As an example, a lottery game can be divided into a "single lottery game" in which the provided lottery is executed only once, and a "continuous lottery game" in which the provided lottery is executed consecutively n times (where n is a natural number of 2 or more). include. As an example, the number n of executions of the provided lottery in the continuous lottery game is 10 times. As an example, the sum of the winning probabilities P for each provided value is 1 for each provided lottery. In this case, in the lottery game, the user can acquire the same number of in-game values as the number of times the provided lottery is executed. That is, in the one-shot lottery game, the user can acquire one in-game value. In the continuous lottery game, the user can acquire multiple in-game values. The present invention is not limited to this, and the sum of the winning probabilities P of each provided value may be less than 1. In other words, there may be a case in which a player does not win any of the provided values (hereinafter referred to as a loss) in the provided lottery. In the case of a loss, the user cannot obtain any in-game value.

As an example, the winning probability Pa of a rare offered value in a single lottery game is different from the winning probability Pb of a rare offered value in a special offered lottery that is part of a plurality of offered lots included in a continuous lottery game. The number of special offer lottery may be one time or multiple times. As an example, Pa<Pb. In other words, in a continuous lottery game, the probability of winning a rare offer value is higher in at least one offer lottery game than in a single lottery game. Note that the winning probability Pb may be 1, which determines that the rare offer value will be provided.

The user can acquire the right to play the lottery game by consuming in-game currency as compensation. The amount of in-game currency required to acquire the right to a continuous lottery game is higher than the amount of in-game currency required to acquire the right to a single lottery game. As an example, the amount of in-game currency required to acquire the right to a lottery game is an amount calculated by multiplying the number of times the provided lottery is executed by the unit price. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the unit price of the in-game currency required to acquire the right to the lottery game may be reduced as the number of times the provided lottery is executed is greater.

In the following description, a user who has acquired the right to a lottery game by consuming in-game currency will be referred to as a "right-holding user." The lottery game is played by rights-holding users (hereinafter referred to as the normal mode). When a right-holding user plays a lottery game, one or more provided values that the right-holding user guessed are provided to the right-holding user. The lottery game is not limited to this, and may be played by another user (hereinafter referred to as a proxy user) requested by the rights-holding user (hereinafter referred to as a proxy mode). In this case, when the proxy user plays the lottery game, the one or more provided values that the proxy user has won may be provided to the rights-holding user (hereinafter referred to as the delegated user) who is the client.

The lottery game can be executed when the terminal 100 is in the initial state and the first game is the first part. In other words, general users can become rights-holding users. General users can play the lottery game themselves as rights-holding users. In this way, general users can play the lottery game themselves by paying the price. The lottery game can be executed when the terminal 100 is in the distribution state and the first game is the first part. In other words, a distribution user can become a rights-holding user. The distribution user can run the lottery game himself as a rights-holding user. In this way, the distribution user can play the lottery game by paying the price himself/herself. The lottery game is not executed when the terminal 100 is in the viewing state. In other words, a viewing user cannot become a rights-holding user. Viewing users cannot play the lottery game.

[Delivery point overview]
A user can earn distribution points by distributing viewing content. Distribution points are totaled for each distribution of viewing content. The distribution points are information regarding the distribution results of viewing content. As an example, the distribution points are information that quantifies the distribution results of viewing content. As an example, distribution points may be added according to the distribution record of content for viewing. In the following explanation, the points added to the distribution points according to the distribution results will be referred to as "achievement points." Adding performance points can be said to be giving distribution points. As an example, the performance points may change depending on the distribution time and the number of viewers. The performance points may change depending on the number of inputs of specific information from the viewing terminal 100C. Achievement points may be added based on specific play actions of the distributor during the game, such as winning a battle while the distributor is distributing, defeating an enemy, or clearing a mission. As an example, the input of the specific information may be generated by a specific operation on the viewing terminal 100C. As an example, the specific operation is an operation of inputting character data such as a comment, a tap operation on a specific object displayed on the monitor 166, and the like.

In one example, delivery points are accumulated over an accumulation period. In the following description, the distribution points accumulated over the accumulation period are simply referred to as "accumulated points." As an example, the cumulative period may be one week and one month. In the following description, cumulative points with a cumulative period of one week will be referred to as "weekly cumulative points", and cumulative points with a cumulative period of one month will be referred to as "monthly cumulative points". The cumulative period is not limited to this, and may be one day, multiple days, multiple weeks, multiple months, one year, or multiple years. The cumulative period may be a period during which an event in a game is held.

As an example, the distribution points and cumulative points may be added according to the execution results of the lottery game. In the following explanation, the points added to the distribution points according to the execution results of the lottery game will be referred to as "special points." Distribution points include performance points and special points. Therefore, the accumulated points include performance points and special points. Although details will be described later, special points can also be totaled as special cumulative points separate from distribution points each time content for viewing is distributed. The special cumulative points are an example of the total distribution points awarded according to the execution of the provided lottery. Adding special points can be said to be giving distribution points.

[Overview of screen transitions on the device]
An overview of screen transitions on the terminal 100 will be explained.
As shown in FIG. 4, as an example, the display screen on each terminal 100 includes a first game screen 40, a second game screen 50, and a viewing screen 60.

The competitive game screen 43 is displayed when the second part of the first game is being executed. The result screen 44 is displayed when the second part ends in the first game. The result screen 44 may be displayed when transitioning from the second part to the first part in the first game. When the second part is repeatedly executed in the first game, the result screen 44 may be displayed every time the second part ends.

The viewing screen 60 is displayed when the terminal 100 is in the viewing state. The viewing screen 60 is displayed when the game on the distribution terminal 100B that distributes the viewing content targeted for viewing is the first game. The viewing screen 60 is displayed when the game on the distribution terminal 100B that distributes the viewing content targeted for viewing is the second game.

[data structure]
As shown in FIG. 5, the memory 220 and storage 230 in the server 200, as a memory module 205, store user information regarding the user. As an example, the distribution information has the following data structure.

As an example, a user ID is assigned to each of a plurality of users as information that identifies the user. Accumulated points are associated with user IDs. As an example, the accumulated points may include weekly accumulated points and monthly accumulated points. The user ID may be associated with information indicating in-game currency held by the user. The user ID may be associated with information indicating a possessed character that the user can use as an avatar. The user ID may be associated with information indicating owned items that the user can use in the first game. Possession items may include weapons, armor, accessories, and the like as items that can be equipped to the avatar.

As shown in FIG. 6, the memory 220 and storage 230 in the server 200 store information regarding viewing content as a memory module 205. As an example, information regarding viewing content has the following data structure.

As an example, a content ID is assigned to each of the plurality of viewing contents as information that identifies the viewing contents. A user ID indicating a distribution user (hereinafter referred to as distribution user ID) is associated with the content ID. A distribution point is associated with a content ID. As for the distribution points, performance points can be added according to the distribution performance of the content for viewing. Special points can be added to the distribution points according to the execution results of lottery games in the viewing content.

The content ID is associated with the elapsed time (hereinafter referred to as distribution time) since the distribution of the viewing content was started. The content ID is associated with the number of viewing users viewing the viewing content (hereinafter referred to as the number of views). The content ID is associated with an increase rate of the number of views (hereinafter referred to as a view increase rate) with respect to the number of views in the immediately preceding unit time. A user ID indicating a viewing user (hereinafter referred to as viewing user ID) may be associated with the content ID.

As shown in FIG. 7, the memory 220 and storage 230 in the server 200, as a memory module 205, store information regarding characters, which are an example of provided value. As an example, information regarding a character has the following data structure.

As an example, character IDs are assigned to multiple types of characters as information that allows the characters to be identified. A name, rarity, and special points are associated with the character ID. Rarity indicates the difficulty of obtaining the character. As an example, the plurality of types of characters include a character C as a normal offer value of a first rarity, and characters A and B as rare offer values of a second rarity. The rarity level R is an example of a first rarity level. The rarity level SSS and the rarity level SS are examples of the second rarity level.

The special points indicate points that can be added to the distribution points or cumulative points when the character wins in the lottery game. As an example, it is preferable that the special point Ps1 of the normal offer value and the special point Ps2 of the rare offer value have a relationship of Ps1<Ps2. The special points are not limited to this, and the special points may have a relationship of Ps1=Ps2 or a relationship of Ps1>Ps2.

[Processing flow for distributing and viewing viewing content]
An example of the flow of a process for distributing viewing content and a process for viewing viewing content will be described.

As shown in FIG. 8, in step S100, the processor 110 of the distribution terminal 100B, acting as the distribution module 101B, transmits a distribution start request to the server 200 when receiving an operation instructing to start distribution. As an example, an operation instructing to start distribution may be accepted in the first game or the second game.

In step S102, the processor 110 of the distribution terminal 100B transmits play information to the server 200 as the game module 101A. If it is the second part of the first game, the first play information may be transmitted in step S210, which will be described later. The first play information may include avatar type information, coordinate information, action information, setting information, and other information. In the case of the second game, the second play information may be transmitted in steps S301 and S306, which will be described later. The second play information may include a consumption request and a lottery request.

In step S104, the processor 210 of the server 200 receives the distribution start request as the distribution module 201B. In step S106, the processor 210 of the server 200 receives the first play information and the second play information as the game module 201A. That is, the server 200 receives, from the distribution terminal 100B, play information corresponding to the game play performed by the distribution user on the distribution terminal 100B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the processor 210 of the server 200 may receive the first play information and the second play information as the distribution module 201B.

In step S108, the processor 210 of the server 200 generates distribution information as the distribution module 201B. As an example, the processor 210, as the distribution module 201B, generates first distribution information according to the first progress information. As an example, the processor 210, as the distribution module 201B, generates second distribution information according to the second progress information. Step S108 is an example of generating distribution information according to the game play of the distribution user.

In step S110, the processor 210 of the server 200 generates a distribution list as the distribution module 201B. As an example, the distribution list is a list of viewing contents that are currently being distributed. In other words, the distribution list is an example of a list of videos that are currently being distributed. As an example, in the distribution list, a plurality of viewing contents are arranged according to sorting conditions. The sorting condition is a standard for sorting a plurality of viewing contents. There may be multiple sorting conditions. That is, the processor 210 may generate multiple types of distribution lists with different sorting conditions.

As an example, the sorting condition is to arrange viewing contents in descending order of distribution points. However, the rearrangement condition is not limited to this, and the rearrangement condition may be to arrange the viewing contents in descending order of distribution points. The sorting condition may be to arrange the viewing contents in order of increasing or decreasing number of views. The sorting condition may be to arrange the viewing contents in order of longer delivery time or shorter delivery time. The sorting condition may be to arrange the content for viewing in descending order of viewership increase rate or in descending order of viewership increase rate. The sorting condition may be to arrange the viewing contents in order of increasing or decreasing accumulated points held by distribution users. The rearrangement condition may be to arrange the viewing contents in descending order of special accumulated points.

As an example, the distribution list includes viewing contents from the first place to the specified ranking according to the sorting condition among the plurality of viewing contents. In other words, the distribution list does not include viewing contents that are lower than the prescribed ranking in the sorting condition among the plurality of viewing contents. In this way, the distribution list includes information (hereinafter referred to as ranking information) that can specify the ranking of the viewing content under the sorting conditions. In the distribution list, the distribution points that can be added from the first place to the specified ranking are an example of first points. Step S110 is an example of identifying the first user whose total distribution points are the first point or more as the first specific user.

In step S110, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the distribution module 201B, updates the distribution list according to the rearrangement condition when the first update condition is satisfied. As an example, the first update condition is satisfied every time a fixed update time elapses. The first update condition is not limited to this, and the first update condition may be to receive a distribution list request from the viewing terminal 100C. As will be described in detail later, the parameter values that serve as the basis for sorting the plurality of viewing contents may vary depending on the distribution of the viewing contents and the execution of the lottery game. In other words, the arrangement of viewing contents in the distribution list may change each time the first update condition is satisfied.

As an example, the distribution list includes information (hereinafter referred to as specific instruction information) indicating specific content among a plurality of viewing contents. The specific content is distributed by a specific user among the distribution users. The specific user is determined according to the special cumulative points. As an example, the processor 210 of the server 200 determines, as the specific user, the distribution user with the most special cumulative points among the distribution users who are currently distributing viewing content. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the processor 210 may determine one or more specific users by lottery from among the distribution users ranked from the first place to the predetermined ranking in descending order of special cumulative points. The special accumulated points required to be determined as a specific user are an example of second points. Step S110 is an example of specifying, as the second specific user, the first user for whom the total of distribution points awarded in accordance with the execution of the offer lottery is the second point or more.

In step S110, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the distribution module 201B, updates the specific instruction information when the second update condition is satisfied. As an example, the second update condition is satisfied every time a fixed update time elapses. However, the second update condition is not limited to this, and the second update condition may be to receive a distribution list request from the viewing terminal 100C. As will be described in detail later, the special accumulated points may vary depending on the execution of the lottery game. In other words, the specific content and the specific user may change each time the second update condition is satisfied.

In step S112, the processor 210 of the server 200 executes processing for adding performance points (hereinafter referred to as performance addition processing) as the distribution module 201B when the performance addition condition is satisfied. The processor 210 of the server 200 executes the performance addition process for each user from the time the distribution start request is received until the distribution end request is received. The distribution termination request is transmitted from the distribution terminal 100B to the server 200 when the distribution terminal 100B receives the distribution termination operation. In other words, the processor 210 of the server 200 executes the performance addition process only for distribution users who are currently distributing viewing content. Achievement points can be added when viewing content is being distributed. When the processor 210 of the server 200 receives the distribution end request as the distribution module 201B, it adds the distribution points at that time to the accumulated points. As an example, distribution points are added to weekly cumulative points and monthly cumulative points. Note that the processor 210 of the server 200, as the distribution module 201B, initializes the weekly cumulative points to zero once a week. The processor 210 of the server 200, as the distribution module 201B, initializes the monthly accumulated points to zero once a month.

In the performance addition process, the processor 210 of the server 200, acting as the distribution module 201B, determines performance points to be added to the distribution points. The processor 210, as the distribution module 201B, adds the determined performance points to the distribution points. As an example, the processor 210, as the distribution module 201B, updates the distribution user's user data stored in the memory 220 (memory module 205) so that the performance points are added to the distribution points. As an example, the number of performance points may be determined according to the number of viewers of the viewing content. The number of performance points is not limited to this, and the number of performance points may be determined according to the distribution time of the content for viewing. The number of performance points may be determined according to the number of times specific information is input from the viewing terminal 100C. Step S112 is an example of giving distribution points to the first user. Further, assigning distribution points includes assigning distribution points in accordance with distribution of a video.

In step S114, the processor 110 of the viewing terminal 100C transmits a distribution list request to the server 200 when the viewing module 101C receives a list display operation instructing to display a distribution list.

In step S116, the processor 210 of the server 200 receives the distribution list request as the distribution module 201B. In step S118, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the distribution module 201B, transmits the distribution list to the viewing terminal 100C. Step S118 is an example of transmitting a request to the second user's terminal to display a list of videos whose distributor is the first user specified as the first specific user. In the request to display a list of videos, even if the first user specified as the second specific user is not specified as the first specific user, the video list for which the first user is the distributor is It can be said that it includes displaying a list of videos so as to include .

In step S120, the processor 110 of the viewing terminal 100C receives the distribution list as the viewing module 101C.

As an example, the processor 210, as the game module 201A, updates the distribution user's user data stored in the memory 220 (memory module 205) so that special points are added to the distribution points. As an example, the processor 210, as the game module 201A, updates the distribution user's user data stored in the memory 220 (memory module 205) so that the special points are added to the special accumulated points.

As an example, the number of special points added to the distribution points and special accumulated points differs depending on the lottery parameters. Step S315 is an example of managing the lottery parameters so as to vary according to the execution of the provided lottery for each first user. Moreover, providing distribution points in step S315 is an example of changing the amount of distribution points to be provided to the first user according to the lottery parameter.

As an example, the lottery parameter may be the type of lottery game. That is, the special points added to the distribution points and the special accumulated points differ depending on the type of lottery game. As an example, the special points Pm when a continuous lottery game is executed may be greater than the special points Ps when a single lottery game is executed. As an example, the special points Pm may exceed Ps×n. In this way, it can be said that granting distribution points in step S315 includes changing the amount of distribution points to be awarded to the distribution user according to the number of times the lottery is executed. In step S315, when the number of consecutive lottery executions is the first number, it can be said that fewer distribution points are awarded to the distribution user than when the number of consecutive lottery executions is the second number, which is greater than the first number. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in step S315, when the number of consecutive lottery executions is the first number, the number of distribution points given to the distribution user may be greater than when the number of consecutive lottery executions is the second number, or the number of distribution points may be the same. You can.

As an example, the lottery parameter may be the content of the in-game value won in the provided lottery. In other words, the special points added to each distribution point differ depending on the content of the in-game value won in the lottery game. As an example, when character A or character B wins, there are more special points than when character C wins. That is, it can be said that granting distribution points in step S315 includes changing the amount of distribution points to be awarded to the distribution user according to one or more values determined by lottery. As described above, character B and character A have higher rarity as provided value than character C. That is, in step S315, giving distribution points includes changing the amount of distribution points to be given to the distribution user according to the rarity of one or more values determined by lottery. In step S315, when the rarity of the provided value is the second rarity, it can be said that more distribution points are given to the distribution user than when the rarity is the first rarity. The present invention is not limited to this, and in step S315, when the rarity of the provided value is the second rarity, the distribution points to be given to the distribution user may be fewer or the same as when the rarity is the first rarity. There may be.

In step S316, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the game module 201A, transmits the grant notification to the distribution terminal 100B. The grant notification is an example of second progress information. In step S317, the processor 110 of the distribution terminal 100B receives the grant notification as the game module 101A. As a result, the distribution user acquires the in-game value selected by the provided lottery, and one second game ends. Steps S302 to S304 and S307 to S309 are an example of providing an environment for the first user to play a game.

Next, the flow of processing for executing the second game when the second game is executed on the general terminal 100A will be described. Note that only the differences between the case where the second game is executed on the general terminal 100A and the case where the second game is executed on the distribution terminal 100B will be explained, and the explanation of the same contents will be omitted.

As a more specific example, in the lottery process, a capsule 511 is ejected from a capsule toy serving as a lottery machine 510. Furthermore, the lottery result is such that the ejected capsule 511 is broken and an acquired object 512 indicating the in-game value enclosed in the capsule 511 is displayed. In the case of a single lottery game, the lottery progress and lottery results are displayed only once. In the case of a continuous lottery game, the lottery progress and lottery results are displayed for the number of times the provided lottery is executed. In this way, the game window 501 displays the game play of the distribution user and the general user in the second game.

[Viewing screen]
As shown in FIG. 16, in the viewing state, a viewing screen 60 is displayed on the monitor 166 of the terminal 100. Viewing screen 60 may include various objects. As an example, the viewing screen 60 includes a viewing window 601. As an example, the viewing screen 60 includes a chat window 604 and a back button 605.

As an example, when the viewing target is the first part of the first game, the viewing window 601 displays the distribution user's avatar. As an example, the viewing window 601 displays the distribution user's avatar 80A. When the settings of the avatar are changed in accordance with the operation of the distribution user, the appearance of the distribution user's avatar displayed in the viewing window 601 is changed in accordance with the change in the settings. That is, when the first game to be viewed is the first part, the viewing window 601 displays the distribution user's game play in the first part of the first game as a video.

Although not specifically illustrated, when the viewing target is the second part of the first game, the viewing window 601 displays the distribution user's avatar and the enemy user's avatar. As an example, when each avatar performs an action in response to an operation by each user, each user's avatar displayed in the viewing window 601 performs the same action. That is, when the first game to be viewed is the second part, the viewing window 601 displays the distribution user's game play in the second part of the first game as a video.

As an example, when the viewing target is the second game, a lottery machine 510 is displayed in the viewing window 601. When the progress of the second game changes according to the distribution user's game play, the lottery machine 510 changes according to the change in the progress. As an example, when the lottery process and lottery results are displayed on the distribution terminal 100B, the lottery process and lottery results are also displayed on the viewing terminal 100C. That is, when the viewing target is the second game, the viewing window 601 displays the distribution user's game play in the second game as a video.

In this case, the lottery game screen 51 is displayed on the monitor 166 of the distribution terminal 100B as the second game screen. Furthermore, a viewing screen 60 is displayed on the monitor 166 of the viewing terminal 100C used by the second user. This viewing screen 60 includes a video of the distribution user's game play in the second game.

As shown in FIG. 17, the first user who is the distribution user performs a lottery start operation by tapping the portion of the monitor 166 of the distribution terminal 100B where the lottery execution button 503 is displayed. As described above, in step S300, the processor 110 of the distribution terminal 100B, as the game module 101A, receives a lottery start operation. As an example, in step S311, the processor 110 of the distribution terminal 100B, as the rendering module 104, displays the lottery process and the lottery result on the game window 501 of the monitor 166 in accordance with the second progress information (lottery completion notification). That is, the processor 110, as the rendering module 104, may display the in-game value selected by the provided lottery on the monitor 166 as a lottery result.

In step S313 described above, the processor 110 of the viewing terminal 100C, as the rendering module 104, displays the lottery process and the lottery result on the monitor 166 in accordance with the second distribution information (lottery completion notification). As an example, the processor 110, as the rendering module 104, displays the in-game value selected by the provided lottery on the viewing window 601 of the monitor 166 as a lottery result. That is, the viewing window 601 displays the in-game value acquired by the distribution user. The viewing window 601 displays the first user's game play in the second game. Therefore, the second user can watch the first user's game play as a viewing user.

The effects of this embodiment will be explained.
(1) The provided value provided according to the result of the provided lottery can be used in the game. The first user feels that it is fun just to be given in-game value according to the result of the provided lottery. The first user can also earn distribution points in addition to being given in-game value according to the result of the provided lottery. Therefore, it is possible to increase the number of variations that add value compared to the case without the configuration as disclosed herein.

(2) The first user can earn distribution points by playing a lottery game. Being able to acquire distribution points motivates the first user to play the lottery game.
(3) More variations to earn distribution points. Therefore, it is possible to increase the enjoyment of acquiring distribution points.

(4) The amount of distribution points awarded through the provided lottery is changed according to the in-game value awarded. Therefore, the first user can enjoy not only the quality of the in-game value provided according to the result of the provided lottery, but also the amount of distribution points.

(5) The amount of distribution points awarded through the provided lottery is changed according to the rarity of the in-game value to be awarded. Therefore, the first user can enjoy not only the rarity of the in-game value given according to the result of the provided lottery, but also the amount of distribution points.

(6) The distribution points may be displayed on the second user's terminal as accumulated points. There is a first user who wants to stand out from other users. Therefore, it is possible to increase the enjoyment of acquiring distribution points.

(7) The ranking based on distribution points may be displayed on the second user's terminal. There is a first user who wants to stand out from other users. Therefore, it is possible to increase the enjoyment of acquiring distribution points.

(8) The videos of the first user whose total distribution points are equal to or greater than the first point are included in the list of videos that can be displayed on the second user's terminal. There is a first user who wants a large number of second users to watch the video. Therefore, it is possible to increase the enjoyment of acquiring distribution points.

(9) Videos of the first user for which the total distribution points (special cumulative points) awarded in accordance with the execution of the provision lottery are the second point or more, even if the total distribution points are less than the first point. , is included in the list of videos that may be displayed on the second user's terminal. There is a first user who wants a large number of second users to watch the video. Such a first user attempts to acquire distribution points by executing the offer lottery. Therefore, it is possible to increase the enjoyment of acquiring distribution points.

(10) The first user can earn distribution points not only by distributing a video but also by an action different from distributing a video (execution of a provision lottery). Therefore, it is possible to increase the enjoyment of acquiring distribution points.

(11) The amount of distribution points awarded by the offer lottery is changed according to lottery parameters that may vary depending on the execution of the offer lottery. Therefore, the first user can enjoy not only the quality of the lottery but also the amount of distribution points provided.

The above embodiment can be modified and implemented as follows. The above embodiment and the following modification examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically consistent range.
- In step S315 shown in FIG. 10, providing distribution points may include changing the amount of distribution points to be provided to the user according to the number of times the provided lottery is executed. As an example, the processor 210 of the server 200 counts the number of times the offered lottery is executed for each user. The processor 210 sets the amount of special points to be added to the distribution points or accumulated points differently depending on whether the number of executions of the provided lottery is the first number of executions or the second number of executions which is greater than the first number of executions. You can also let That is, when the number of executions of the provided lottery is the first number of executions, the special points may be more or less than when the number of executions of the provided lottery is the second number of executions. In this modification example, the amount of distribution points is changed according to the number of times the provided lottery is executed. Therefore, the user can also enjoy the amount of distribution points in relation to the number of times the provided lottery is executed.

Further, the special points may increase each time the number of executions of the provided lottery increases by a specific number of times (as an example, the number of executions n). In this case, the special points may be configured such that they do not change even if the number of times the provided lottery is performed increases after the number of times the provided lottery is performed reaches a specified number of times. As an example, the special points may be increased each day until the number of times the provided lottery is performed reaches a predetermined number of times, compared to after the number of times the provided lottery is performed reaches a predetermined number.

- In step S314 shown in FIG. 10, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the game module 201A, may manage specific parameters for each user. The processor 210 may vary the specific parameters depending on the execution of the provided lottery. As an example, the specific parameter may be one or more of the number of executions of the offered lottery, the frequency of execution of the offered lottery, and the timing of execution of the offered lottery. As an example, the execution timing of the provided lottery may be a period of an event in the game. Step S314 is an example of managing specific parameters for each first user so as to vary depending on the execution of the provided lottery.

- In step S110 shown in FIG. 8, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the distribution module 201B, generates a distribution list including information indicating distribution users whose specific parameters have specific values (hereinafter referred to as specific parameter information). Good too. Then, in step S122, the processor 110 of the general terminal 100A, as the rendering module 104, displays specific information on the monitor 166 according to the specific parameter information included in the distribution list when displaying content information in the content display frame 451. indicate. As an example, when there is a distribution user whose specific parameter has a specific value, the processor 110 of the general terminal 100A adds specific information to content information indicating viewing content distributed by the distribution user. As an example, the specific information may be a character string "attention". In this way, the request to display the list of videos in step S118 may include adding specific information to some or all of the videos in the list of videos. The specific information may be information corresponding to a specific parameter for each first user who is a distributor of a video to which the specific information is attached.

In this way, in the list of videos, some or all of the videos can be given specific information according to specific parameters that vary depending on the execution of the offer lottery. There is a second user who predicts the performance of the provided lottery by the first user based on specific information. The first user expects the second user to view the video and tries to acquire distribution points by executing the offer lottery. Therefore, it is possible to increase the enjoyment of acquiring distribution points.

- In the above embodiment, the lottery parameters that can affect the special points are the rarity and the type of lottery game among the contents of the provided value, but are not limited thereto. The lottery parameter may be the type of in-game value won in the provided lottery and the number of in-game values won in the provided lottery, among the contents of the in-game value won in the provided lottery. The lottery parameter may be whether the in-game value won in the provided lottery is an in-game value that is not owned by the first user. The lottery parameter may be whether the in-game value won in the provided lottery is a specific in-game value whose winning probability P is increased for a certain period of time.

The lottery parameter may be the type of consideration required to acquire the right to the lottery game. As an example, the type of consideration may be either in-game currency that the user can acquire for free or in-game currency that the user can acquire for a fee. As an example, the number of special points may be greater when paid in-game currency is consumed as consideration than when free in-game currency is consumed as consideration. The type of consideration may be an auxiliary value such as a ticket that can be exchanged for a right to a lottery game by collecting a predetermined number of tickets. In this case, the number of special points may increase when paid or free in-game currency is consumed as compensation compared to when supplementary value is consumed.

The lottery parameter may be the execution timing of the provided lottery. As an example, the execution timing of the offered lottery may be whether or not it is the period during which an event is held in the game, and whether a prescribed period has elapsed since the last offered lottery was executed. As an example, the number of special points may be greater when the offered lottery is executed in a specific time slot than when it is executed in a time slot different from the specific time slot. Here, the specific time period may be a time period common to all users, or may be a time period different for each user.

The lottery parameter may be the frequency of execution of the provided lottery. As an example, the number of special points may be greater when the offer lottery is executed n or more times within a certain period than when the offer lottery is executed less than n times within the certain period. The lottery parameter may be the content of a gift given to the distribution user by the viewing user. The lottery parameter may be the type or amount of in-game value consumed by the viewing user as compensation for the gift. The lottery parameter may be the number of times a gift is given to a distribution user by a viewing user.

The lottery parameter may be whether or not the game play of the second game is being distributed. As an example, in step S315, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the game module 201A, may change the amount of special points depending on whether the game is in the distribution state or not. As an example, the number of special points may be greater when the terminal 100 is in the delivery state than when the terminal 100 is not in the delivery state.

- In step S314 shown in FIG. 10, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the game module 201A, may be configured to provide the viewing user with one or more in-game values determined by the offer lottery.

In this case, the viewing user can acquire the right to play the lottery game by consuming in-game currency as consideration. As an example, the processor 110 of the viewing terminal 100C, as the viewing module 101C, receives a lottery request operation by the viewing user. The processor 110 of the viewing terminal 100C, as the viewing module 101C, transmits a lottery request request to the server 200. Similarly to steps S302 and S303, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the game module 201A, consumes a specified amount of in-game currency held by the viewing user.

The distribution user can execute the provided lottery on behalf of the viewing user upon request. As an example, the processor 210 of the server 200 receives the lottery request request as the distribution module 201B. The processor 210 of the server 200, as the game module 201A, transmits a lottery request notification to the distribution terminal 100B. The processor 110 of the distribution terminal 100B receives the lottery request notification as the game module 101A. Thereafter, steps S306 to S317 are executed. However, in step S314, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the game module 101A, grants the winning in-game value to the viewing user. In this modification example, step S314 is an example of providing the second user with one or more values determined by the offer lottery.

- The processor 210 of the server 200 may be configured as the distribution module 201B to be able to provide in-game value to the user according to special accumulated points. As an example, the in-game value that can be provided according to the special accumulated points may be an item or character that can be used in the game, or may be a badge or a title.

- The game system 10 may be configured to display rankings based on special accumulated points (hereinafter referred to as special rankings). As an example, in step S403 shown in FIG. 11, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the distribution module 201B, generates ranking information based on the special accumulated points. The processor 210, as the distribution module 201B, creates a special ranking in which a plurality of users are arranged in descending order based on the special accumulated points. The special ranking includes users from the first place to the specified ranking.

In step S404, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the distribution module 201B, transmits a ranking display request to the general terminal 100A. The ranking display request includes ranking information according to the special ranking. The ranking information includes information indicating special accumulated points of each user. In step S406, the processor 110 of the general terminal 100A or the distribution terminal 100B, as the rendering module 104, displays the ranking object 461 on the monitor 166 in response to the ranking display request. That is, the monitor 166 of the general terminal 100A or the distribution terminal 100B displays the special ranking. In this case, ranking object 461 includes special accumulated points. That is, step S404 is an example of transmitting a request to display special accumulated points on the second user's terminal.

- The game system 10 may be configured to be able to search for viewing content that meets specific conditions from among distributed viewing content. As an example, the processor 110 of the terminal 100 displays a content search screen on the monitor 166 as the rendering module 104. The content search screen includes a search object for the user to input search conditions. It may be configured such that a search condition input operation can be performed by performing a predetermined operation on a portion where a search object is displayed. As an example, assume that an input operation is performed using a search condition that the user is a distribution user who has been given special points. In this case, the processor 110 of the terminal 100 transmits the input search conditions to the server 200. The processor 210 of the server 200, as the distribution module 201B, searches for a plurality of viewing contents based on the received search conditions. The processor 210 of the server 200, as the distribution module 201B, transmits information indicating the searched viewing content to the terminal 100. Processor 110 of terminal 100, as rendering module 104, displays content information on monitor 166 based on information received from server 200. That is, the monitor 166 of the terminal 100 displays content for viewing by the distribution user who has been given special points.

- The game system 10 may be configured to cause the screen displayed on the monitor 166 of the terminal 100 to change depending on the special accumulated points. As an example, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the game module 101A, transmits a screen change instruction to the terminal 100 according to the special accumulated points. The processor 110 of the terminal 100, as the rendering module 104, displays a different screen on the monitor 166 than when the change instruction is not received. As an example, the processor 110 of the terminal 100 may change the background of the home screen 41 or the competitive game screen 43.

- In the distribution list screen 45, the content information displayed in the content display frame 451 may include distribution points. The delivery point may be displayed at the second user's terminal. There is a first user who wants to stand out from other users. Therefore, it is possible to increase the enjoyment of acquiring distribution points.

- The viewing screen 60 may include a specific object for performing a specific operation by tapping. The processor 110 of the viewing terminal 100C, as the viewing module 101C, may transmit specific information to the server 200 when receiving a specific operation. Then, in step S112, the processor 210 of the server 200, as the distribution module 201B, may change the performance points according to the number of inputs of the specific information from the viewing terminal 100C.

- Although a competitive game is illustrated as an example of the first game, the first game is not limited to this. For example, the first game may be a game whose purpose is to collect in-game value, or a game whose purpose is to develop a character such as an avatar.

- The lottery game may adopt one or more of the random item provision method, the BOX lottery game method, the complete lottery game method, and the treasure box method. In the game play of a lottery game based on the BOX lottery game method, the type of in-game value may be drawn from the box (BOX) of the delegated user, and the type of in-game value may be drawn from the box (BOX) of the distribution user. You may. In the representative game play of the complete lottery game type lottery game, the in-game value acquired by the delegated user may be considered to have been acquired by the distribution user as well. In the proxy game play of the treasure box type lottery game, the type of in-game value may be randomly selected on the condition that a key held by the delegated user is consumed. Keys are an example of in-game currency.

- In the process for executing the second game, the transmission and reception of the consumption request may be omitted. In this case, as an example, when the processor 210 of the server 200 receives the lottery request as the game module 101A, the processor 210 of the server 200, after consuming the in-game currency held by the user, draws the type of in-game value to be given to the user. You can.

- In the lottery game, it may be possible to skip part or all of the display of the lottery process. As an example, while the lottery process is being displayed, the lottery game screen 51 may include a skip icon, and by tapping the area where the skip icon is displayed, part or all of the display of the lottery process may be skipped. You can. As an example, while the lottery process is being displayed, by tapping a part of the lottery game screen 51 that is different from the part where a predetermined icon or button is displayed, part or all of the display of the lottery process can be skipped. You can. If a part or all of the display of the lottery process can be skipped, the display of the lottery process may not be skipped when another user requested by the rights-holding user plays the game. When configured so that part or all of the display of the lottery process can be skipped, when another user requested by the rights-holding user plays the game, compared to when the rights-holding user plays the game himself/herself, The skipped period may be shortened.

- The processor 110 of the server 200, as the distribution module 201B, may be configured to generate a game play video according to the received play information and stream it. The processor 110 of the viewing terminal 100C, as the viewing module 101C, may display the play video of the game that is streamed in the viewing window 601.

- The content for viewing may include character data.
