The detailed description of the above-described participating content is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The participating content may include quiz content including at least one of a quiz for receiving a selection response to at least one of the presented two or more options or a quiz for receiving a user response to a question. For example, a quiz for receiving a selection response to at least one of the presented two or more options may include a five-point multiple-choice quiz, an O/X quiz, a rock-paper-scissors quiz, a puzzle matching quiz, and the like. For example, the content providing terminal 700 may be a terminal of a streamer performing personal Internet broadcasting, and the streamer may generate participating content for mutual communication with viewers and transmit it to the service server 100. For example, a streamer creates a rock-paper-scissors quiz as participatory content, selects a rock, which is a gesture to be made, and asks viewers to select a choice response to one of the choices of scissors, rock, or paper, and selects the beam option. The selected viewers can decide to win. In addition, for example, referring to FIG. 1, the streamer's content providing terminal 700 may generate a three-point multiple-choice quiz as the participating content 212, and one of three options of a three-point multiple-choice quiz Is determined as the correct answer, and the other two options can be determined as incorrect answers. For example, the quiz for receiving a user response to a question may include a user's display response to a wrong part in finding the wrong picture, a user's input response to a short answer question, and the like. The detailed description of the above-described participating content is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the processor 120 may receive sponsor information based on the participating content from the user terminal 800. The sponsorship information may include providing a sponsorship from the user terminal 800 to the content providing terminal 700 in relation to the participating content. For example, if the participating content is predictive content about whether a streamer can do 30 kills, the user terminal 800 provides a selection response that the streamer can do 30 kills and a 50,000 won sponsorship if the streamer does 30 kills. Sponsorship information to be done may be transmitted to the service server 100. When receiving sponsorship information from the user terminal 800, the service server 100 may transmit sponsorship information to the content providing terminal 700. The service server 100 may transmit a reward based on the sponsorship information to the content providing terminal 700 when the condition of the sponsorship information is fulfilled based on the result of the participation content that is the basis of the sponsorship information. For example, in the above-described example, when the streamer achieves 30 kills, it may be determined to transmit at least some of the 50,000 won received from the user terminal 800 to the content providing terminal 700. The specific description of the sponsoring information described above is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The processor 120 may transmit the streaming content and the participating content to the user terminal 800 through the network unit 110. The processor 120 may transmit the streaming content and the participating content to one or more user terminals 800 wishing to participate in the streaming content.

The processor 120 may receive a response regarding the participation content from the user terminal 800 through the network unit 110. The response to the participating content may be a selection response to at least one of two or more options presented, or may be a response including a user's input to a question.

The processor 120 may determine whether the user terminal 800 satisfies a content participation condition for performing a response with respect to the participating content. The content participation condition may include a condition predetermined by the content providing terminal. Streaming content may include a participation condition, but in some cases, there may be no content participation condition. For example, in order to watch A streamer's broadcast, viewers may have to satisfy the predetermined content participation condition of A streamer, but even if there is no predetermined participation condition for B streamer's broadcast, even if the participation condition is not satisfied. You can also watch the broadcast. Content participation conditions may need to be satisfied in order to respond to participating contents related to streaming contents, but in some cases, the contents participation conditions have not been set in advance, so anyone can participate in the contents. For example, when the content participation condition is to watch advertisement A for a predetermined time or longer, only the user terminals 800 satisfying the participation condition may transmit a valid response to the participating content. The content participation condition includes at least one of a condition for viewing an advertisement provided during at least a portion of the streaming of the streaming content, a condition for participating in a survey, a condition for downloading a predetermined content, and a condition for participating in a predetermined event. Can include. The content providing terminal 700 may determine a content participation condition related to the participating content and transmit it to the service server 100.

Content participation conditions include, for example, a condition to watch an advertisement for a predetermined time before the start of the streaming content, and the middle of the streaming of the streaming content (e.g., immediately after the end of the first half, after the end of the 5th round of the 10th round quiz, etc.) It may include a condition for viewing the advertisement for a predetermined period of time, and the like. The advertisement may be an advertisement including an image or an image. When the content participation condition is a survey, a question and two or more selection responses may be provided to the user terminal 800, and a selection response for at least one of the two or more selection responses may be received. In the case of a survey, the survey may be conducted for a predetermined time before the start of streaming, or may be conducted on a separate channel from the streaming. Downloading content may mean downloading an arbitrary set of programs. Participating in an event may mean performing an arbitrary log. For example, the condition for downloading the predetermined content may include downloading a predetermined app, a predetermined game, and a predetermined program (security program, playback program, etc.). For example, the conditions for participating in a predetermined event may include conditions such as signing up for a member on a predetermined site, signing up for a predetermined program, or agreeing to receive marketing. The detailed description of the above-described content participation condition is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The processor 120 may determine whether to provide a streaming content reward for the user terminal based on whether the reward condition for the streaming content is satisfied. The reward condition for streaming content may include a reward condition determined according to a viewing time of the streaming content, and a reward condition determined according to a participation degree of the streaming content. The condition regarding the viewing time of the streaming content may be a condition regarding whether or not the streaming content has been viewed for a predetermined time or longer. The conditions for participation in streaming content include conditions for whether or not to respond to the participating content more than a predetermined number of times, conditions for whether or not to respond to the participating content more than a predetermined number of consecutive times, and conditions for chatting more than a predetermined number of times. Can include. For example, when participating content including a total of 10 rounds of quizzes is provided to the user terminal 800, it may be determined to provide a reward to the user terminal 800 who has viewed more than 5 rounds of the quiz. In addition, for example, when participating content including a total of 10 rounds of quizzes is provided to the user terminal 800, it may be determined to provide a reward to the user terminal 800 that has responded to a total of 3 or more rounds of quizzes. The detailed description of the above-described reward conditions is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The reward may include any form of reward determined by the content providing terminal 700. For example, when the content providing terminal 700 is a streamer performing personal broadcasting, the reward may include a reward related to a company that sponsors the streamer. For example, if the reward is a reward related to a company, it may include a 20 percent discount coupon for the use of a franchise by the company, a coupon for a specific product service when visiting the company. For example, if the content providing terminal 700 is a game company that conducts a game league, the reward may include a reward related to the game league to the streamer. For example, it may include an item coupon or the like in a game related to a game league. The detailed description of the above-described reward is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The processor 120 may determine whether to provide a participation content reward to the user terminal based on a response to the received participation content. The processor 120 is the user terminal based on at least one of whether a response regarding the received participation content satisfies a predetermined answer input time condition and whether the content of the response regarding the participation content satisfies a predetermined correct answer condition. It may be determined whether or not to provide the participation content reward.

The content providing terminal 700 may set a predetermined answer input time and correct answer for the participating content. The predetermined response input time may be an effective time at which the response can be determined to be valid, which is calculated from the time when information on the participating content is transmitted to the user terminal 800. The correct answer may be information on a response that can be determined as the correct answer among the user's responses to the participating content. When the response to the participation content received from the user terminal 800 through the network unit 110 is received within a predetermined answer input time and satisfies a predetermined correct answer condition, the corresponding user terminal 800 You can decide to offer rewards to you. For example, a content providing terminal 700 questions a quiz of 5 rounds, a 10 second answer input time is set for each round, and a reward is provided to the user terminal 800 that has completed at least 3 rounds of the quiz among the 5 rounds. If it is determined to do so, the user based on whether a response is received within a predetermined response input time for each of the responses related to the participation content of the user terminal 800 and whether a response that is a correct answer for three or more rounds has been received. It may be determined to provide a reward to the terminal 800. For example, if the content providing terminal 700 decides to pay 1 million won in prize money to the last remaining player in the rock, paper, scissors game, whether the response received from the user terminal 800 was received within a predetermined answer input time. It is possible to determine whether or not to give a reward to the user terminal 800 that finally survived by making a gesture (eg, scissors) that can win the gesture (eg, paper) made by the content providing terminal 700. have. The description of the above-described participating content and rewards therefor is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The processor 120 may transmit the recommended streaming content to the user terminal based on at least one of a streaming content and a response to the participating content.

The recommended streaming content may be content related to streaming content or content related to a response to participating content. For example, it may be determined based on at least one of the number of times user terminals accessing the streaming content access other streaming content, the similarity between the streaming content and other streaming content, and an analysis result of a response to the participating content. . For example, when the participating content is a quiz content, the content related to a response to the participating content may be a content determined by analyzing a user's level of understanding and interest in the content based on the answer to the quiz.

The recommended streaming content may include other streaming content accessed by other user terminals accessing the streaming content more than a predetermined number of times with respect to the streaming content accessed by the user terminal 800. For example, if the user terminal 800 accesses game league streaming content of game A, which is an FPS game, and multiple user terminals accessing the game league streaming content also access game league streaming content of game B, the processor The 120 may provide the game league streaming content of the B game to the user terminal 800 through the network unit 110 as recommended streaming content. The detailed description of the above-described recommended streaming content is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The recommended streaming content may be determined based on a similarity between the streaming content accessed by the user terminal 800 and other streaming content. In the case of streaming content provided by the same content providing terminal 700, the processor 120 may determine that the content is similar. For example, if the streaming content accessed by the user terminal 800 is the streaming content transmitted from the content providing terminal of Streamer A that conducts personal broadcasting, other streaming content transmitted from the content providing terminal of Streamer A is recommended. It can be included in streaming content. For example, if the streaming content accessed by the user terminal 800 is a content providing terminal of a game company that transmits the game league for game B, other streaming content of the game league for game B may be included in the recommended streaming content. . The detailed description of the above-described recommended streaming content is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The recommended streaming content may be determined based on an analysis result of a response to the participating content. When the correct answer rate for the response to the participating content is high, the processor 120 may determine that the corresponding streaming content is highly interested, and may determine the streaming content having a high similarity to the streaming content as the recommended streaming content. In addition, when the correct answer rate for the response to the participating content is low, the processor 120 may determine a streaming content having a low similarity to the content as recommended streaming content. The detailed description of the above-described recommended streaming content is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
