Definitions
- the present invention relates to a video streaming playback system that provides a video hosting service.
- video hosting website services can be broadly classified into two types.
- YouTube Registered trademark
- Servicebook Video As a typical service, YouTube (Registered trademark), Servicebook Video, Nico Nico Movie (all registered trademarks).
- the other is a "paid billing model" in which the user pays the viewing fee, and typical services include NETFLIX, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video (all registered trademarks).
- the first advertising revenue model has the advantage that users can watch videos for free, but it has the disadvantage that the ads on the video site are unpleasant.
- the mainstream of video site advertising is online targeting advertising, which grasps the user's location (geographical location), age, gender, etc. from the user's video viewing record and the IP address of the site connection, and based on that information, The publisher delivers the advertisement to the target user requested by the advertiser. And this is a mechanism to hit a cost-effective advertisement.
- YouTube Premium registered trademark
- YouTube Premium registered trademark
- the paid billing model does not disclose the video content (content), the viewer does not know the video content content, and pays the amount decided by the video site unilaterally before the value of the video is understood. It is configured as follows. For this reason, the user cannot judge the value of the video content, and the unilateral fee is prepaid, which is not a fair transaction, and the user bears the risk.
- This service is a mechanism in which the user's charge burden increases as it is in proportion to the service usage period. Especially when you continue to watch the same content (video, music, etc.), the longer the usage period, the more the user's loss will increase.

Abstract
Description
近年、ビデオホスティングウェブサイトは数多くのサービスがあり、その利便性から年々ユーザー数が増えており、社会的にも認知されている。
まず、一つ目の広告収益モデルでは、ユーザーにとってビデオ視聴は無料であるという利点があるが、ビデオサイト内の広告を不快に感じるという欠点がある。
一方の有料課金モデルでは、ビデオ内容(コンテンツ)を開示せず、視聴者はビデオコンテンツ内容が分からず、ビデオの価値が分かる前に一方的にビデオサイトが決めた金額を支払うように構成されている。このため、ユーザーがビデオコンテンツの価値を判断することが出来ず、一方的な料金の前払いになりフェアな取引とは言えず、ユーザーがリスクを負うことになる。
また、従来から、ユーザーに種々の特典を与えて課金ユーザーの獲得を促進するモデルがある。

なお、ここに記載した以外の他の特徴については、次の発明を実施するための形態の説明及び図面に明らかにされる。
図1は、この発明の第1の実施形態にかかるシステム構成を示す図である。
ビデオホスティングウェブサイト100(本発明のシステム)は、ユーザーインターフェースを提供するフロントエンドサーバー110と、ビデオ再生及びチップ支払い処理を処理するバックエンドとして、ビデオ提供モジュール120、ビデオ取り込みモジュール121 、ビデオ分析モジュール122、チップ支払いモジュール123、広告表示モジュール124、リワード提供オプション制御モジュール125、ビデオデータベース130、ユーザーデータベース131、ビデオ音声データベース132、ビデオ分析データベース133、保留ビデオデータベース134、エクストラリワードデータベース135、リワード最低チップ金額データベース136、を含む種々のデータベースを備えている。
ビデオホスティングウェブサイト100に限らず、ウェブサービスのユーザー登録に関してEmailアドレス、電話番号、SNS登録アカウント(Facebook等)で、ユーザーを特定し、その後、正式な氏名・性別・住所・決済情報・ユーザー名、チャンネル名等、サイトサービス利用に必要事項を入力しサイトへ登録するのが一般的である。サイト登録後、ユーザーはID(識別子)160が付与され、ビデオホスティングウェブサイト100におけるサービスを受けることが可能になる。
ビデオホスティングウェブサイト100に未登録のユーザーも、ビデオ視聴は可能だが、チップの支払い、チップの受け取り、ビデオアップロード、ビデオダウンロード(リワード)、ビデオ音声ダウンロード(リワード)、エクストラリワードデータのアップロード、エクストラリワードの受け取り、リワード最低チップ金額の設定、ビデオ評価、コメントの投稿などのサービスはビデオホスティングウェブサイト100に登録し、ユーザーID160が必要なため、ビデオホスティングウェブサイト100の運営者はフロントエンドサーバー110にあるユーザーインターフェース(図示しない)を通じて、未登録ユーザー対してサイトへの登録を案内し、サイト登録を促す。
ビデオホスティングウェブサイト100の登録ユーザー(ユーザーID160取得済み)は、コンテンツ提供者になることができ、コンテンツ提供者はデジタルコンテンツをビデオホスティングウェブサイト100にアップロードする場合、コンテンツ提供者端末140を起動し、ネットワーク150を介し、フロントエンドサーバー110により生成されたビデオ設定用のユーザーインターフェース900を通してビデオ取り込みモジュール121に接続するようになっている。
視聴者は視聴者端末141上でブラウザ170を実行しフロントエンドサーバー110に接続することでコンテンツ提供者端末140からアップロードされた、ビデオデータベース130に格納してあるビデオを視聴することができる。
図2は、図1に図示したチップ支払いモジュール123のブロック図である。
視聴者がビデオを視聴するため、ビデオを選択し指定すると(ステップ301)、チップ支払いボタン/リンク表示モジュール200がビデオの指定を検出し作動し(ステップ302)、リワード提供オプション制御モジュール125へ前記ビデオアップロード用のユーザーインターフェース900で行ったチップ受取有無の選択902について支払いを受ける(Yes)に指定されていることを確認し(ステップ303)、それに基づき、図4に示すようにチップ支払いボタン400をアクティブに表示し(ステップ304)、視聴者がチップを支払える状態になる。
前項「4.ビデオアップロード」工程においてコンテンツ提供者端末140に提供されるユーザーインターフェースの制御について説明する。
本発明にはビデオダウンロードリワード機能が設けられており、コンテンツ提供者は前記ユーザーインターフェース900で、ビデオダウンロードリワード有無の選択904付与(Yes)若しくは非付与(No)の選択と指定が可能になっている。前記の通り、リワード提供オプション制御モジュール125はコンテンツ提供者が、チップ受取有無の選択902を許可(Yes)に指定した場合のみ、ビデオダウンロードリワード有無の選択904をアクティブに表示し、その選択と指定を可能にし、広告収益有無の選択906は強制的に否(No)に指定されると共に選択できないようにインアクティブに設定される。
図11はチップ支払いと連動する、ビデオダウンロードリワードのダウンロード保存を示したフローチャートである。
本実施形態では、ビデオ音声ダウンロードリワード機能が設けられており、コンテンツ提供者は前記ユーザーインターフェース900で、ビデオ音声ダウンロードリワード有無の選択905付与(Yes)若しくは非付与(No)の選択と指定が可能になっている。前記の通り、リワード提供オプション制御モジュール125はコンテンツ提供者が、チップ受取有無の選択902を許可(Yes)に指定した場合のみ、ビデオ音声ダウンロードリワード有無の選択905をアクティブに表示し、その選択と指定を可能にし、広告収益有無の選択906は強制的に否(No)に指定されると共に選択できないようにインアクティブに設定される。
図12はチップ支払いと連動する、ビデオ音声ダウンロードリワードのダウンロード保存を示したフローチャートである。
この実施形態のシステムではエクストラリワード機能が設けられており、コンテンツ提供者は端末140上に表示したインターフェース900で、エクストラリワード有無の選択907付与(Yes)若しくは非付与(No)の選択と指定が可能になっている。
図13はチップ支払いと連動する、エクストラリワードの受け取りを示したフローチャートである。
この実施形態では、ワード付与に対してリワード最低チップ金額設定機能が設けられており、コンテンツ提供者は前記ユーザーインターフェース900で、リワード最低チップ金額有無の選択916有り(Yes)若しくは無し(No)の選択と指定が可能になっている。前記の通り、リワード提供オプション制御モジュール125はコンテンツ提供者が、チップ受取有無の選択902を許可(Yes)に設定した場合のみ、リワード最低チップ金額有無の選択916をアクティブに表示し、その選択と指定を可能にし、広告収益有無の選択906は強制的に否(No)に指定されると共に選択できないようにインアクティブに設定される。
図14はチップ支払いと連動する、リワード最低チップ金額設定による、リワードの受け取り制御を示したフローチャートである。
前記の通り、リワード最低チップ金額は、視聴者のビデオ視聴におけるチップ支払いに対する、リワード(特典)付与に関してコンテンツ提供者が設定する、チップ最低金額であるため、ビデオ単位での設定が原則となる。そのため、ユーザーインターフェース900とリワード最低チップ金額有無の選択916は「1ビデオに対して、1リワード最低チップ金額」のみ設定可能になるように設計されおり、コンテンツ提供者が複数のリワードを付与した場合でも、複数のリワード最低チップ金額を1つのビデオに設定することは不可能になる。
本発明のチップ支払いボタン400の主機能は、視聴者のビデオ視聴におけるチップ支払いボタンであるが、前記の通りコンテンツ提供者のオプション設定により、チップ支払いボタン400に、リワード表示(REWARDS)800、ビデオダウンロードリワード表示801、ビデオ音声ダウンロードリワード表示802、エクストラリワード表示803、リワード最低チップ支払い額表示804が表示され、視聴者はチップ支払い前にリワードに関する概要を確認可能になっている。
前項の説明の通り、ユーザーインターフェース900のオプション設定により、チップ支払いボタン400のリワード表示、リワード詳細ユーザーインターフェース806のリワード詳細表示、リワード提供ユーザーインターフェース1000のボタンの表示と機能が変化し、前記リワード提供オプション制御モジュール125がこれを制御している。
この場合、チップ支払いボタン400にはリワード表示(REWARDS)800、エクストラリワード表示803が表示され、リワード詳細ユーザーインターフェース806にはエクストラリワード詳細(エクストラリワード名と外部ページリンク表示)809が表示される。
前項の実施形態では、前記リワード提供オプション制御モジュール125はチップ受取有無の選択902と広告収入受取有無の選択906を択一的に動作させ、付随するチップ支払いボタン/リンク表示モジュール200と広告表示モジュール124を択一的に動作させ、報酬支払手段をチップか広告に択一させている。
リワード表示(REWARDS)800、ビデオダウンロードリワード表示801、ビデオ音声ダウンロードリワード表示802、エクストラリワード表示803、リワード最低チップ支払い額表示804関して、前項の実施例ではチップ支払いボタン400内に表示されているが、この形態に限定されず視聴者がチップ支払いに伴う、リワード付与とリワード最低チップ金額設定の確認が可能な表示方法と、前述の「17.チップ支払いボタン詳細表示機能」で説明した本発明の主旨に沿った形であればどのような形態でも構わない。
ビデオホスティングウェブサイト100の運営者は前記チップ支払いボタン400を設定するユーザーインターフェース600、チップ支払いに対するリワードを設定するユーザーインターフェース900に予めデフォルト設定をおこなうことが出来る。
視聴者がチップを支払った後、チップ収益モジュール206はコンテンツ提供者と、ビデオホスティングウェブサイト100の運営者が取り決めた、チップ収益配分を算出生成し、コンテンツ提供者のユーザーデータベース131と、関連するビデオデータベース130を更新し保存する。
まず、リワード数として本発明で「2以上」提供している意義について、前項「16.リワード定義とリワード最低チップ金額」と重複するが、改めて説明する。
以下、上記ビデオアップロードに関連するリワードオプション設定と、リワード提供オプション制御モジュール125の動作を図22のフローチャートを参照にしてさらに詳しく説明する。なお、図22のフローチャートは上記2つ以上(複数)のリワード付与必須設定に伴い、図7の一部を変更したものである。
まず、コンテンツ提供者が自己の端末140上で、ビデオ「Upload」ボタン401をクリックし(ステップ701A)、ログインしユーザーID160を特定する(ステップ702A)、ログインしていない場合にはログインさせると共に、ログインしている場合には、当該ユーザーID160に基づいて、ユーザーインターフェース900(図20)を表示し、アップロードするビデオデータを901で指定する(ステップ703A)。
コンテンツ提供者がチップ受取有無の選択902を許可(Yes)に指定し(ステップ703A、704A、705A)、ビデオダウンロードリワード有無の選択904、ビデオ音声ダウンロードリワード有無の選択905、エクストラリワード有無の選択907、ダイレクトメッセージリワード有無の選択921のうち2つ以上(複数)のリワード付与(Yes)を指定し設定するか、もしくはエクストラリワード有無の選択907は2つ以上(複数)のリワード付与の設定が可能なため、エクストラリワードのみ2つ以上(複数)付与を設定する(ステップ707A)。
コンテンツ提供者のオプション選択を待ち(ステップ708A)、Submit Nowボタン918が押されると(ステップ709A)、リワード提供オプション制御モジュール125は2つ以上(複数)のリワード付与(Yes)が指定され設定されていることを確認する(ステップ710A)。そして、2つ以上のリワードが指定されていない場合には、前述したように図21に示すエラーメッセージを表示する(ステップ712A)
一方、2つ以上(複数)のリワードが指定され設定されている場合、リワード提供オプション制御モジュール125はそれを検出し、ビデオ取り込みモジュール121へアップロード許可を伝達し、ビデオ取り込みモジュール121は上記901で指定されたビデオデータを取り込み、前記コンテンツ提供者が指定したリワード付与(Yes)指定と共にビデオデータベース130へ格納し、同時にリワード提供オプション制御モジュール125は、当該コンテンツ提供者が指定した上記リワードのオプション指定と設定を確認し、上記リワードのオプション指定と設定により、各リワードオプションのモジュールが作動し、各リワードデータと各リワードオプションの設定は各データベースに格納し、同時にオプション設定はユーザーデータベース131にも格納し、記録が更新されると共に保存される(ステップ711A)。
上記2つ以上(複数)のリワードが指定され設定され、ビデオデータアップロードと同時に作動する各オプションのモジュール動作は「8.ビデオダウンロードリワード」、「10.ビデオ音声ダウンロードリワード」、「12.エクストラリワード」、「14.リワード最低チップ金額」、「24.ダイレクトメッセージリワード機能」になる。また、各リワードの受け取り動作に関しては、「9.ビデオダウンロード保存」、「11.ビデオ音声ダウンロード保存」、「13.エクストラリワードの受け取り」、「25.ダイレクトメッセージの入力と送信」になる。リワードに関連する最低チップ金額の制御に関しては「15.リワード最低チップ金額設定による制御」になる。
なお、コンテンツ提供者は端末140からビデオをアップロードした後も、ユーザーアカウントページ(図示せず)にログインし、Manage Videosボタン(図示せず)からユーザーインターフェース1500にアクセスし、ビデオ毎に設置されている1501からユーザーインターフェース900にアクセスし、チップ受取有無の選択902、チップカウント表示有無の選択903、ビデオダウンロードリワード有無の選択904、ビデオ音声ダウンロードリワード有無の選択905、広告収益有無の選択906、エクストラリワード有無の選択907、ダイレクトメッセージリワード有無の選択921、リワード最低チップ金額有無の選択916の確認と設定の変更が可能である。しかし、リワードを1つのみに設定する変更は不可能である。2つ以上(複数)のリワード付与(Yes)が指定されていない場合には、前述したように図21に示すエラーメッセージを表示する。
また、この変形例のインターフェース900’(図20)では、ダイレクトメッセージリワード有無の選択921付与(Yes)若しくは非付与(No)の選択と指定が可能になっている。リワード提供オプション制御モジュール125はコンテンツ提供者が、チップ受取有無の選択902を許可(Yes)に指定した場合のみ、このダイレクトメッセージリワード有無の選択921をアクティブに表示し、その選択と指定を可能にし、広告収益有無の選択906は強制的に否(No)に指定されると共に選択できないようにインアクティブに設定される。また、チップ受取有無の選択902を否(No)に指定した場合には、リワード提供オプション制御モジュール125はダイレクトメッセージリワード有無の選択921を強制的に非付与(No)に指定すると共に選択できないようにインアクティブにし、広告収益有無の選択906は可(Yes)に指定される。
図24はチップ支払いと連動する、ダイレクトメッセージリワードの入力と送信を示したフローチャートである。視聴者は視聴者端末141から図23のリワード表示(REWARDS)800とダイレクトメッセージリワード表示805が表示されている、チップ支払いボタン400をクリックすると(ステップ2401)、チップ支払い詳細画面404が表示され、ダイレクトメッセージリワードインターフェース811、811A(図23)が表示される(ステップ2402)。
この変形例においては、リワード設定の際もしくは変更の際に、リワードが2つ以上設定されているかに基づき、リワードが2以上設定されていない場合にはエラーを返してリワード設定不能もしくは変更不能とした(図22のステップ712A)。
上記は説明を明確にするために、コンテンツ提供者、視聴者のみのサービスとして明記している部分があるが、ユーザーID160を保持している、全てのユーザーへのサービスが可能である。
