In recent years, a "digital message board system" has appeared that realizes this message board digitally. This is a device that takes messages handwritten by fans (handwritten message information) and projects them onto a wall using a projector.
However, this "digital message board system" simply acquires handwritten message information and projects it onto a wall using a projector.
Therefore, if this is used as is at various events or live concerts, various problems are likely to occur, and it would lack interest and entertainment value.

The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and provides a device that prevents various problems that can arise when conventional digital message board systems are used as is at various events and live venues, and adds fun and entertainment to conventional digital message board systems.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an apparatus including the following means, a program that causes a computer to function as the following means, and a method in which a computer performs the following steps.
(1) The device includes a first posted information acquisition means for acquiring first posted information, a second posted information acquisition means for acquiring second posted information, an identification processing means for performing an identification process for displaying the first posted information and the second posted information in an distinguishable manner, and a message output means for outputting the first posted information and the second posted information as a message of messages.
(2) The first posted information is posted information from a provider of a performance, and the second posted information is posted information from a recipient of the performance.
(3) The provider of the performance includes the performers of the performance or the organizer of the performance, and the recipient of the performance includes the fans of the performers, or the spectators of the performance, or the participants of the performance, or the supporters of the performance.
(4) The first posted information and the second posted information are posted information from a person who receives a performance.
(5) The recipients of the performance include fans of the performers of the performance, or spectators of the performance, or participants of the performance, or supporters of the performance.
(6) The message board output means is a projection means that projects the first posted information or the second posted information onto an inner wall of the performance venue, or an outer wall of the venue, or the ceiling of the venue, or the roof of the venue, or the floor of the venue, or a pillar within the venue, or a pillar outside the venue.
(7) The identification process is a process for preventing overlapping display of the first posted information and the second posted information.
(8) The identification process is a process for displaying the first posted information and the second posted information at different positions.
(9) The identification process is a process of acquiring a display position designated by a poster of the first posted information or the second posted information, and displaying the first posted information or the second posted information at the display position.
(10) The identification process is a process of displaying the first posted information and the second posted information in different formats.
(11) The display form includes the size of characters or figures, or the shape of characters or figures,
Or the color of the text or graphics, or the background of the text or graphics.
(12) The first posted information or the second posted information is information stored in a pre-post information storage means for storing the first posted information or the second posted information in advance before posting.
(13) The first posted information or the second posted information is information that is displayed on a plurality of display devices installed at the venue of the performance.
(14) The first posted information or the second posted information includes handwritten information, character data expressed based on character codes, or image data.
(15) The first posted information or the second posted information includes conversion information that converts information input by voice into characters or figures, and the display form of the conversion information differs based on the volume of the voice, the quality of the voice, the pitch of the voice, the magnitude of the vibration in the voice, or the speaking speed included in the voice.
(16) The system includes a third posted information acquisition means for acquiring third posted information from a person to whom a performance is provided, a fourth posted information acquisition means for acquiring fourth posted information from the person to whom the performance is provided, a message output means for outputting the third posted information and the fourth posted information as a message output, and a prominence means for, when a prominence command for prominencing the third posted information is obtained, displaying the third posted information more prominently than the fourth posted information.

(27) The recipients of the information include fans of performers at the performance, spectators at the performance, participants at the performance, or supporters at the performance.

The present invention provides the following advantages:
(1) By using the message board information processing device of the present invention, messages from fans and messages from artists to their fans can be shared with everyone, which can effectively liven up various events and live performances.
(2) In the present invention, messages from fans and messages from artists to fans are displayed in a distinguishable manner. That is, the present invention performs the following processing.
- Prevent "duplicate display" of messages from fans and messages from artists.
- Or, the computer automatically determines and displays both messages in different locations.
Alternatively, the poster may specify the display position of the message, and both messages may be displayed in different positions.
Or, the two messages may be displayed in different formats.
This can avoid the inconvenience of a large number of fans posting messages all over the place, causing the artist's message to get buried under the fan messages and become difficult to find (or understand).
(3) In the present invention, a plurality of messages are displayed in a distinguishable manner. That is, the present invention performs the following processing.
- Prevent "duplicate display" of multiple messages.
Alternatively, the computer automatically determines and displays multiple messages in different locations.
Alternatively, the poster may specify the display position of the message, and multiple messages may be displayed in different positions.
Alternatively, multiple messages may be displayed in different formats.
This can avoid the inconvenience of a large number of fans posting messages all over the place, resulting in fans being unable to find (or finding) the messages they have posted themselves.
(4) In the present invention, a command to change the display format of a message (prominence command) is issued to display a message of a specific poster prominently and in a manner that makes it distinguishable from other messages. This makes it possible to avoid inconveniences such as not being able to find one's own post (or having difficulty finding it) if a prominence command is issued for a message that one has posted.
Furthermore, if the "artist's message, their own message" and "other fans'messages" are displayed in a clearly distinguishable manner (if only the "artist's message and their own message" are displayed in the same or related form), fans will be able to feel a personal connection with the artist and can have fun, such as taking commemorative photos of the message book in which only the artist's and their own message stand out.
(5) In the present invention, once a prominence command is issued, the same fan cannot issue a prominence command again within a certain period of time, thus avoiding the inconvenience of one fan repeatedly issuing prominence commands, which reduces the opportunities for other fans to issue prominence commands.
(6) In the present invention, message posters can save messages in advance on their mobile devices or on a server. This allows fans to post messages that they have carefully thought out in advance, or elaborate illustrations, rather than just random messages they come up with at an event.
(7) The posted messages will be displayed not only on the walls of the venue, but also on multiple display monitors installed in the venue, giving the audience the same sense of excitement and elation they get when attending an event or live performance.
(8) In the present invention, both handwritten messages and character data (text data) can be posted. Therefore, people who are good at drawing pictures and writing letters can post handwritten messages, and people who are not good at them can write messages in text data.
(9) In the present invention, a message can be posted in which voice is converted into characters or figures. In addition, the display form of the message changes depending on the volume, quality, pitch, and vibration of the voice, so that a unique message can be posted using one's own voice.
(10) The present invention allows messages to be posted via the Internet. In other words, anyone can post, and posting can be done from anywhere. Therefore, there is a possibility that someone who has a grudge against the event will post a message, and it is expected that abusive messages or an excessive number of messages will be posted. Therefore, the present invention limits the number of posts and checks the message contents in advance to prevent abusive messages from being displayed.
In addition, messages can only be posted by people near the event venue, in an effort to curb abusive or excessive messages.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a hardware configuration used in an embodiment of the present invention.
The present invention comprises a message board processing device (here referred to as "server 1") operated by a company that provides an electronic message board system, a projection device 2 such as a projector, an information terminal used by the person submitting the message board (here referred to as "submitter terminal 3"), an information input device installed in the venue (here referred to as "venue terminal 4"), and an information display device installed in the venue (here referred to as "venue monitors 5 and 6").
The projection device 2 and the in-venue monitors 5 and 6 share the same information output device (display device), but in this embodiment, the projection device 2 is the main device that outputs the message board. In contrast, the in-venue monitors 5 and 6 are display devices known as "signage displays" and play a secondary role to complement the projection device 2 (although this is not limited to this).

Each of the above devices (devices indicated by reference numerals 1 to 6) is a computer (or has a built-in computer). A computer program (application software) and predetermined data for implementing the present invention are stored in the storage device of each device, and each device performs predetermined processing according to the processing instructions of the computer program.
Moreover, the poster terminal 3 is assumed to be equipped with a means for identifying a location, such as a global positioning system (GPS).
The server 1 and the poster terminal 3 are connected by a communication line such as the Internet, and are capable of transmitting and receiving information to and from each other. The server 1 is also connected by wired or wireless communication means to the projection device 2, the venue terminal 4, and the in-venue monitors 5 and 6, and are capable of transmitting and receiving information to and from each other.

Next, the contents displayed on the display screen of each device (terminal) will be described.
Here, we will use as an example a case where an artist (performer in a performance) holds a live concert, and many fans and other performing artists write messages to liven up the concert. The artist is the provider of the performance, and the provider of the performance may also include the "performance organizer" who is involved in the performance in some way. Furthermore, the fans are the recipients of the performance, and the recipients of the performance may also include the spectators of the performance, the participants who take part in the performance, and the supporters who support the performance in some way.
FIG. 2 shows a display screen for inputting the poster type.
The top section is a field for inputting the poster's category, and the poster enters the category of whether the message poster is a spectator (fan) or an artist.
The lower section is a column for inputting the message category, and the category of the message to be posted is inputted as either a handwritten message or character data (text data) expressed based on character code. Note that it is also possible to input image data such as a photo, emoticon, stamp image, etc., but this processing is omitted here. Also, here, only one of handwritten message and text data (or image data) can be selected, but it is also possible to arbitrarily select multiple (two or three) from handwritten message and text data (or image data) to post a variety of messages by mixing handwritten message, text data, and image data according to preference. Furthermore, here, it is also possible to select only one color, but it is also possible to select multiple colors and mix multiple colors according to preference.

FIG. 3 shows a screen on which an artist can input a message (handwritten message) for the collection.
Specifically, this screen is used to input the poster number, the position and size of the message, the color to be displayed, and the handwritten message.
In the "Enter poster number" field, information (number) that is assigned to the poster in advance and is used to identify the poster is entered.
The "position and size designation" column is a column for designating the position and size at which the message is to be displayed.
Reference numeral 11 denotes a total display area 11 which represents the area of the entire message board.
Reference numeral 12 denotes an input area dedicated to artists, which is set in the center of the entire display area 11 here.
Reference numeral 13 denotes an input area exclusively for fans, which is the area excluding the area indicated by reference numeral 12 from the entire display area 11. Since Fig. 3 shows an area for accepting message input from artists, reference numeral 13 is filled in gray, indicating that artists cannot input anything here.
Reference numeral 14 denotes an area enclosed by a dotted line in Fig. 3, in which the artist specifies the position and size in which he or she wishes to display his or her message. The artist specifies the area indicated by reference numeral 14 using a touch pen, his or her finger, etc.
The display format is a field for specifying the format in which the message is to be displayed. In this example, the color is specified.
The "input message" field is a field where the artist inputs a handwritten message, and the artist inputs the handwritten message using a touch pen or his/her finger.

FIG. 4 shows a screen on which fans can input messages (handwritten messages).
Specifically, this screen is used to input the poster number, the position and size of the message, the color to be displayed, and the handwritten message.
In the "Enter poster number" field, information (number) that is assigned to the poster in advance and is used to identify the poster is entered.
The "position and size designation" column is a column for designating the position and size at which the message is to be displayed.
Reference numeral 11 denotes a total display area 11 which represents the area of the entire message board.
Reference numeral 12 denotes an input area exclusively for artists, which is assumed here to be set in the center of the entire display area 11. Since Fig. 4 is for accepting message inputs from fans, the area indicated by reference numeral 12 is filled in gray, indicating that fans cannot input anything here.
Reference numeral 13 denotes an input area exclusively for fans, which is the entire display area 11 excluding the area indicated by reference numeral 12 .
Reference numeral 15 denotes an area surrounded by a dotted line in Fig. 4, in which a fan specifies the position and size in which he or she wants his or her message to be displayed. The fan specifies the area indicated by reference numeral 15 using a touch pen, his or her finger, or the like.
The display format is a field for specifying the format in which the message is to be displayed. In this example, the color is specified.
The "input message" field is a field where fans can input handwritten messages, and fans input handwritten messages using a touch pen or their own fingers. In this embodiment, the message input here serves as "posted information." This "posted information" includes various types of data, such as image data representing handwritten input characters and figures, character data (text data) represented based on character codes, and image data such as photographs, pictograms, and stamp images (but is not limited to these).

FIG. 5 shows a screen on which fans can input messages (messages in the form of text data).
Specifically, the poster number, the position and size of the message, the color in which it is displayed, and the text message are input.
In the "Enter poster number" field, information (number) that is assigned to the poster in advance and is used to identify the poster is entered.
The "position and size designation" column is a column for designating the position and size at which the message is to be displayed.
Reference numeral 11 denotes a total display area 11 which represents the area of the entire message board.
Reference numeral 12 denotes an input area exclusively for artists, which is assumed here to be set in the center of the entire display area 11. Since Fig. 5 is for accepting message inputs from fans, the area indicated by reference numeral 12 is filled in gray, indicating that fans cannot input anything here.
Reference numeral 13 denotes an input area exclusively for fans, which is the entire display area 11 excluding the area indicated by reference numeral 12 .
Reference numeral 16 denotes an area surrounded by a dotted line in Fig. 5, in which a fan specifies the position and size in which he or she wants his or her message to be displayed. The fan specifies the area indicated by reference numeral 16 using a touch pen, his or her finger, or the like.
The display format is a field for specifying the format in which the message is to be displayed. In this example, the color is specified.
The “input message” field is a field where fans can input text messages, and they input text messages using a keyboard or the like of the poster terminal 3 .

Figures 6 to 10 show each posted message projected from the projection device 2 onto the walls of the venue (details will be described later).

FIG. 11 shows a screen for inputting a salience command.
The system according to the present invention is capable of displaying messages from artists and messages from fans in different locations, and of displaying messages between fans in different locations.
On the other hand, however, it is also possible to allow fans to freely post messages wherever they like. In that case, there is a possibility that messages from fans may be displayed in duplicate. As a result, a fan's message may become hidden under the messages of other fans and may not be visible. Also, if a large number of messages are posted, a fan's own message may become buried under the other messages and become impossible to find. Therefore, if a poster issues a "prominence command," the poster can bring their own message to the forefront, or make their message stand out (prominence) by using a conspicuous color or shape.
According to FIG. 11, a fan can change the display form of his/her message and make it prominent by inputting the poster number and posting number, selecting the prominence form, and tapping or clicking "Send prominence command."

Next, the data stored in each device will be described.
The upper part of FIG. 12 shows posting type data generated by the poster terminal 3 based on the input on the posting type input screen of FIG.
The lower part of Fig. 12 shows the "display area of artist's posts" and the "display area of fan's posts" which are separated in Fig. 3 to Fig. 5. That is, it is position information which numerically indicates the artist's display area (the area shown in white in "position and size designation" in Fig. 3, or the area shown in gray in "position and size designation" in Fig. 4), and further it is position information which numerically indicates the fan's display area (the area shown in white in "position and size designation" in Fig. 4, or the area shown in gray in "position and size designation" in Fig. 3).

13 to 17 show posting management data generated by inputting information on the message input screens of FIGS. 3 to 5 and the like.
The post number is a unique number that the server 1 assigns to each post management data.
The poster number is the number entered on the message entry screen in FIG.
The posting time is the date and time when the message was sent from the poster terminal 3 to the server 1.
The poster location indicates the location of the poster.
The poster category is the category entered on the posting type input screen of FIG.
The display position and display area are numerical values of the position and area designated by the poster in "position and size designation" in Fig. 3 etc. In this embodiment, the server 1 acquires this display position from the poster terminal 3 or the storage device, and performs processing to display the posted information at that position.
The posted message category is data entered on the message input screen in FIG.
The display form is the display form input on the message input screen of FIG.
The previous salience command time is the time when the poster has already issued the salience command shown in FIG. 11 .
The posting permission is information that is added after the appropriateness of the message is confirmed.
The input message is a message input on the message input screen shown in FIG.
In this embodiment, the input message in Figure 13 serves as posted information (first posted information/provider posted information) posted by the artist (performance provider), and the server 1 which acquires this information from the poster terminal 3 or a storage device serves as a first posted information acquisition means/provider posted information acquisition means.
In this embodiment, the input messages in Figures 14 to 17 serve as posted information (first posted information to fifth posted information) posted by fans (recipients of performances), and the server 1 which acquires this information from the poster's terminal 3 or a storage device serves as the first posted information acquisition means to the fifth posted information acquisition means.

The top part of FIG. 18 shows data (files) that collect inappropriate words, and messages that contain these words are excluded and are not displayed as messages of messages.
The middle part of Fig. 18 shows data indicating the distance at which posting is possible. Since this system is designed so that only people in the vicinity of the venue can post, this data indicates the distance to determine whether or not a person is in the vicinity of the venue.
The lower part of FIG. 18 shows information transmitted by the poster operating the poster terminal 3, and is data for commanding the poster terminal 3 to post to the server 1 a message specified by the poster.

The upper part of FIG. 19 shows salience command data, which is generated using the input screen of FIG.
The middle part of Fig. 19 shows data for preventing the consecutive issuance of salience commands in Fig. 11. If one fan issues consecutive salience commands to his/her own messages, that person's messages will always stand out, which is unfair. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent a fan who has issued a salience command once from issuing another salience command for a certain period of time. This data is used to determine that period of time.
The lower part of FIG. 19 shows information indicating the timing for returning a salient message to its pre-salient state.

The top part of Fig. 20 shows voice-to-text conversion data, which is data used when inputting a message from input voice (the poster's voice). Here, the size and color of the text are changed depending on the volume of the input voice. The bottom part of Fig. 20 also shows voice-to-text conversion data, which is data used when inputting a message from input voice (the poster's voice). Here, the size and color of the text are changed depending on the pitch of the input voice.
In other words, when a poster inputs voice input, the voice is converted into characters and figures of different display forms based on the volume, quality, pitch, level of vibration, speaking speed, etc. contained in the voice (converted information), and this becomes the posted information.

The data files shown in each drawing are stored in the storage device of the server 1 or other devices. In addition, the items shown in each data drawing are stored in association (correspondence) with each other.

Next, the processing procedure of this embodiment will be described.
21 is a flow chart showing the processing procedure of this embodiment. This flow chart includes input of posting type (STEP 1-1), input of message (STEP 1-2), confirmation of message (STEP 1-3), confirmation of position (STEP 1-4), posting of message (STEP 1-5), and display of message (STEP 1-6).

STEP 1-1 is a process for inputting a posting type.
2 is displayed on the display screen of the poster terminal 3. The poster inputs the posting type from this screen.
By inputting information in the upper part of FIG. 2 (input of contributor classification), it becomes clear whether the contributor is an artist or a fan.
By inputting information in the lower section of FIG. 2 (input data classification), it becomes clear whether the poster will post the message as a handwritten message or as character data (text data) expressed based on character codes.
The poster terminal 3 generates the “posting type data” shown in the upper part of FIG.

STEP 1-2 is a process for inputting a message.
The server 1, which has received the posting type data, selects a "message input screen" based on the "poster category" and "input data category" included in the posting type data, and transmits the data that constitutes it to the poster terminal 3. As a result, the following information is displayed on the poster terminal 3:
In STEP 1, if the contributor input category is artist and the input data category is handwritten message, the "message input screen (artist input screen)" in FIG. 3 is displayed.
In STEP 1, if the poster input category is spectator (fan) and the input data category is handwritten message, the "Message Input Screen (Input Screen for Fans)" in FIG. 4 is displayed.
In STEP 1, if the poster input category is spectator (fan) and the input data category is text data, the "Message Input Screen (Input Screen for Fans)" in FIG. 5 is displayed.

It should be noted that artists can also enter text data, but the processing involved is similar to that involved when fans enter text data, so it will not be explained here.
The contributor (artist or fan) inputs each item shown in Figures 3 to 5 and clicks or taps the "Save" button. Note that at this point, the "Post" button is not displayed in Figures 3 to 5, or is displayed dimmed and cannot be clicked or tapped.
When the "Save" button is clicked or tapped, the poster terminal 3 generates post management data and transmits it to the server 1, which receives and stores it. In other words, each post management data is always synchronized (shared) between the server 1 and the poster terminal 3 and stored in each storage device.
For example, when the contents of Fig. 3 are input, the first post management data as shown in Fig. 13 is generated and stored, when the contents of Fig. 4 are input, the second post management data as shown in Fig. 14 is generated and stored, and when the contents of Fig. 5 are input, the third post management data as shown in Fig. 15 is generated and stored. Note that the fourth post management data in Fig. 16 and the fifth post management data (hand-drawn figures) in Fig. 17 are generated and stored by a similar process. Note that the storage device of the server 1 or the storage device of the poster terminal 3 that stores each of these post management data serves as a pre-post information storage means. This makes it possible to, for example, store and preserve in advance the post information of a poster who is outside the postable area (outside the postable distance).

STEP 1-3 is a process for confirming the message.
The "inappropriate word data" shown in the upper part of Fig. 18 is stored in the storage device of the server 1. The server 1 checks and compares the message contained in the post management data with the inappropriate word data to determine whether the message contains inappropriate words. Note that in the case of a handwritten message, it may be converted into text data using an OCR function or the like and checked against the inappropriate word data.
If the post contains inappropriate words, the server 1 assigns "no" to the data item "postable" in the post management data shown in FIG. 13, etc., and if the post does not contain inappropriate words, it assigns "yes" to the data item "postable" in the post management data. Note that in this case, all are assumed to be "yes." The server 1, which performs the process of deciding whether or not to post, acts as an exclusion means. The server 1 may also store in advance an upper limit on the number of times a post can be made by the same poster, and exclude posts that exceed this limit (it may also limit the number of times the post information can be sent).

STEP 1-4 is a process for confirming the position.
The server 1 and the poster terminal 3 store the "postable distance data" shown in the middle of Fig. 18. This data indicates a certain area around the event venue.
The poster terminal 3 uses a function such as GPS to identify the poster's location, and determines whether the poster terminal 3 is located within the area indicated by the posting permitted data (within a 300 meter radius from the venue), and if it is determined that the position is within the area, the "Post" button in Figures 3 to 5, which was not displayed in STEP 1-2, is displayed and made clickable or tappable. At this time, a message such as "You have arrived near the venue and can now post" may be displayed on the poster terminal 3.
When the poster clicks or taps the “Post button” in FIG. 3, the poster terminal 3 generates the post command data shown in the lower part of FIG.
The server 1, which determines and controls whether posting is permitted based on the poster's location and the location of the venue, thus plays a role as a means for removing posted information.

STEP 1-5 is a process for posting a message.
The server 1 that has received the posting command data searches for posting management data that corresponds to the posting number included in the posting command data, and checks the data item of posting permission. If posting permission is "Yes," the server 1 commands the projection device 2 to project the message with the posting number included in the posting command data.

STEP 1-6 is a process for displaying a message.
The projection device 2 (message message information output means) that has received the projection command projects it onto the wall of the venue, etc. As a result, the message is projected onto the wall of the venue as a message message, as shown in FIG.
The projection device 2 may display not only on the walls of the venue, but also on, for example, the inner walls of the performance venue (event venue), the outer walls of the venue, the ceiling of the venue, the roof of the venue, the floor of the venue, pillars inside the venue, pillars outside the venue, etc. In addition, all or part of the message information may be displayed on the monitors 5 and 6 in the venue.

The "identification process" will now be described.
A message board is a place where fans and artists can write their messages freely in any place they like. However, if it were completely free, it would become chaotic, and problems would arise such as the messages that fans and artists have taken the time to write being hidden and becoming invisible (unrecognizable).
Therefore, in the present invention, the "display position" and "display area" of each message are provided in the data items of the post management data shown in Figures 13 to 17. Based on this data, the server 1 judges whether messages overlap, and if they do, changes the display position of the message (to a different position) or reduces the display area of the message before displaying the message collection. This prevents overlapping messages from being displayed, and each message is displayed in a different position.
Also, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, by predefining areas in which artists and fans can display messages, it is possible to prevent messages from artists and fans from being displayed in the same place.
Furthermore, by displaying a message that has already been posted in the area indicated by the symbol 11 on the message input screens of Figures 3 to 5, the poster can find a blank area (a place where no message has yet been displayed) in advance and specify that the message should be displayed there, thereby avoiding duplicate display.
Furthermore, even if messages overlap, the messages can be distinguished by displaying them in a different manner (for example, by using a different color or adding a border), thereby mitigating the inconvenience of messages becoming invisible. The display manner may include the size of the characters or graphics, the shape of the characters or graphics, the color of the characters or graphics, or the background of the characters or graphics.
The server 1 that performs this identification process plays the role of an identification processing means.

FIG. 22 is a process flow for making a message salient.
As described above, the system according to the present invention allows fans to post messages in their favorite locations, so there is a possibility that multiple messages from fans may be displayed overlapping each other. Therefore, a message from one fan may become hidden under the messages from other fans and may not be visible. In this example, as shown in FIG. 7, the message "Heart diagram" (fourth posted information) of post number 5 is overlapped on the message "Psycho" (third posted information) of post number 4.
In that case, if a fan (the poster of post number 4, "K003") whose message ("Psycho") is no longer visible issues a "make visible command," he or she can have his or her message brought to the foreground or make it stand out by giving it a conspicuous color or shape.

STEP 2-1 is a process for transmitting a salience command.
If the poster's message is hidden under the messages of other fans, the poster displays the screen (page) of FIG. 11 on the display screen of the poster terminal 3, selects the poster number and the prominence form (display form for prominence), and clicks or taps "Send prominence command." This causes the poster terminal 3 to create prominence command data as shown in the upper part of FIG. 19 and transmits it to the server 1.

STEP 2-2 is a process for enhancing the visibility.
The server 1 that receives the prominence command data searches for post management data corresponding to the post number included in the prominence command data from Figures 13 to 17, changes the message included in the post management data to the prominence form included in the prominence command data (here, "the form to display in the foreground"), and commands the projection device 2 to project it.
As a result, the projection content in Fig. 7 is changed to the projection content in Fig. 8, making it more prominent. That is, the message "Psycho..." of post number 4 is displayed in the foreground ("Psycho..." is displayed in front of the "Heart Diagram"), and is displayed with priority over the message "Heart Diagram" of post number 5, making it more prominent.

At this time, the server 1 may store the time when the message (or its poster) that is the subject of the prominence command was last commanded to be made prominent (Figure 16), and if the consecutive command prevention time data (here, 60 seconds) in Figure 19 has not elapsed since that time, it may perform processing to not allow the prominence command. This can solve the inequality of consecutively prominencing the same poster (or the same message). The server 1 that performs this processing acts as the acceptance determination means.

STEP 2-3 is a process for returning the salient message to the state before the salience.
The storage device of the server 1 stores "return time data (time to maintain salient state)" as shown in the lower part of Fig. 19. In STEP 2-2, the server 1 counts the elapsed time after issuing a salient command to the projection device 2 to change from Fig. 7 to Fig. 8, and commands the projection device 2 to return from Fig. 8 to Fig. 7 when the return time has elapsed.
As a result, the projection content in FIG. 8 is changed to the projection content in FIG. 7, and the state before salience (original state) is restored.

There are various modes for this emphasis processing. For example, it is possible to make the message "I love you!" (post number "2", third posted information) stand out together with the artist's message (provider posted information). That is, as shown in Fig. 9, there is a mode in which only "I love you!" of post number "2" and the artist's message "Welcome!" are left, and the other messages (fourth posted information) are erased (hidden). Also, as shown in Fig. 10, there is a mode in which a color or frame is added only to the background of post number "2" and the artist's message, and no color or frame is added to the background of the other messages.
That is, the salience process may include variations such as changing the size of the posted information, changing the display form, changing the color, changing the background, or changing the position.

In the above embodiment, the contents of the present invention are described based on a specific example, but the present invention is not limited to this. In other words, as long as it is in line with the spirit of the present invention, different hardware, different data, and different processing procedures may be used. Furthermore, processing performed by one device may be performed by another device.
Furthermore, the poster terminal 3 is a terminal used by the poster, and messages are not limited to be posted using the poster terminal 3, and may be posted using the venue terminal 4 instead of the poster terminal 3.
