[0044] (Terminal device)

[0045] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating the terminal device 10 according to Embodiment 1. (As shown...) Figure 2As shown, the terminal device 10 is disposed inside the vehicle 60 in which the occupant 61 is seated. The terminal device 10 can be installed, for example, in a dashcam 10D, a car navigation system 10C, or a portable terminal 10M such as a smartphone or tablet. Therefore, the dashcam 10D, the car navigation system 10C, and the portable terminal 10M can all include the terminal device 10. Furthermore, the dashcam 10D, the car navigation system 10C, and the portable terminal 10M can also be used as the terminal device 10.

[0046] Figure 3 This is a block diagram illustrating the terminal device 10 according to Embodiment 1. Figure 3 As shown, the terminal device 10 includes an information detection unit 11, an information transmission unit 12, an information receiving unit 13, and an overlay output unit 14.

[0047] The information detection unit 11 is connected to at least one of the terminal microphone 31, terminal camera 32, and terminal sensor 33 via a wired or wireless communication line. The terminal microphone 31 and terminal camera 32 can be microphones and cameras built into dashcams 10D, car navigation systems 10C, and portable terminals 10M, etc., as long as they are vehicle-mountable microphones and cameras, or they can be separate external microphones and cameras.

[0048] Terminal microphone 31 detects the sound information of occupant 61 watching a live performance while seated in vehicle 60. This sound information may include, for example, the voice of occupant 61 in vehicle 60. The sound information may also include the volume, pitch, and duration of occupant 61's voice. Furthermore, the sound information may also include cheers, singing, whistling, laughter, muttering, applause, etc., from occupant 61. Examples of cheers from occupant 61 include shouting the names of the performers, "Yay!", "Oh oh oh!", "Encore!", etc. The occupant 61's sound information detection unit can identify that occupant 61 is making a sound based on the image information of occupant 61, and recognize it as occupant 61's voice.

[0049] Terminal camera 32 detects image information of occupants 61 watching a live performance while seated in vehicle 60. The image information includes images of the occupants' body movements. For example, the image information includes occupants 61 raising one hand, raising both hands, raising their fists, raising their arms and shouting, waving their hands, shaking their heads from side to side, opening their mouths, wiping away tears, etc.

[0050] Terminal sensor 33 detects vehicle information indicating the state of vehicle 60. Vehicle information includes, for example, the horn, flashing lights, and steering wheel information of vehicle 60. Vehicle information may also include the states of drive mechanisms such as the engine, brakes, accelerator, and steering wheel; lighting mechanisms such as lights and turn indicators; a vehicle sway detection mechanism based on a G-sensor; and various states of interior mechanisms such as air conditioning and instruments. Terminal sensor 33 can also detect vehicle information via the CAN (Controller Area Network) of the vehicle network.

[0051] The information detection unit 11 detects at least one of the following information via the terminal microphone 31, the terminal camera 32, and the terminal sensor 33: the sound information and image information of the occupant 61 who is enjoying the live performance in the live performance venue 50 and in the vehicle 60, as well as vehicle information indicating the status of the vehicle 60.

[0052] The information transmitting unit 12 is connected to the distribution device 20 via a wireless communication line, such as Wi-Fi. The information transmitting unit 12 transmits at least one of detected sound information, image information, and vehicle information to the distribution device 20. Based on the information transmitted by the information transmitting unit 12, the distribution device 20 generates a predetermined superimposed sound and a predetermined superimposed image. For example, the distribution device 20 generates the predetermined superimposed sound and the predetermined superimposed image based on sound and image stored in a storage device or the like.

[0053] The specified superimposed sounds include, for example, cheers. Furthermore, the specified superimposed sounds are not limited to cheers; they may also include at least one of the following: calls of voices calling out the names of performers in a live performance, whistles, laughter, or singing by a chorus. Additionally, the specified superimposed sounds may be sounds reflecting actual cheers or may be pre-prepared sounds.

[0054] The superimposed images can be images of spectators waving, raising their fists, or shaking their heads from side to side; they can also be images of spotlights, flashes, pen lights, or other flashing and rotating lights; or images of confetti flying around. The superimposed images can be live-action footage, computer-generated images, or pre-prepared images.

[0055] The information receiving unit 13 is connected to the distribution device 20 via a wireless communication line. The information receiving unit 13 receives the prescribed superimposed audio and video generated by the distribution device 20. The information receiving unit 13 can also receive the sound source and video of a live performance from the distribution device 20. The information receiving unit 13 can also superimpose the prescribed superimposed audio and video onto the sound source and video of a live performance for reception.

[0056] In this way, based on the information sent by the information sending unit 12, the information receiving unit 13 overlays at least one of the prescribed overlay sound and the prescribed overlay image generated by the distribution device 20 onto at least one of the sound source and the image of the live performance, and receives it from the distribution device 20. That is, the information receiving unit 13 receives from the distribution device 20 the sound source and the image of the content overlaid with at least one of the prescribed overlay sound and the prescribed overlay image generated by the distribution device 20.

[0057] The superimposed output unit 14 is connected to at least one of the terminal speaker 34 and the terminal display unit 35 via a wired or wireless communication line. The terminal speaker 34 and the terminal display unit 35 can be speakers and displays built into a dashcam 10D, a car navigation system 10C, or a portable terminal 10M, etc., as long as they are in-vehicle speakers and displays, or they can be external speakers and displays.

[0058] The terminal speaker 34 outputs the sound source of the live performance received from the distribution device 20. The terminal speaker 34 also outputs a predetermined superimposed tone received from the distribution device 20. Furthermore, the terminal speaker 34 outputs a sound source received by the information receiving unit 13 from the distribution device 20, superimposed with the predetermined superimposed tone generated by the distribution device 20. Additionally, the terminal speaker 34 can also output the sound source of the live performance via FM broadcast. In this case, the predetermined superimposed tone is superimposed onto the FM broadcast and output.

[0059] The terminal display unit 35 is, for example, a monitor or a projector. The monitor is, for example, an LCD screen. The monitor can be a display installed on a dashcam 10D, a car navigation system 10C, or a portable terminal 10M, or it can be a head-up display (HUD). The projector projects onto, for example, the front window or side window.

[0060] The terminal display unit 35 outputs the live performance image received from the distribution device 20. The terminal display unit 35 outputs a predetermined overlay image received from the distribution device 20. The terminal display unit 35 outputs an image received by the information receiving unit 13 from the distribution device 20, which overlays the content of the predetermined overlay image generated by the distribution device 20.

[0061] In this way, the overlay output unit 14 outputs at least one of the audio source and the content image received from the distribution device 20, which is overlaid with at least one of the specified overlay audio and the specified overlay image.

[0062] Figure 4 This is a block diagram illustrating another terminal device 10a according to Embodiment 1. Figure 4As shown, the terminal device 10a may also include a temperature generation unit 22, which generates the temperature of the occupants based on information detected by the information detection unit 11. The temperature generation unit 22 will be described later. The information transmission unit 12 of the terminal device 10a may also transmit the generated temperature to the distribution device 20a. Except for the temperature generation unit 22 and the information transmission unit 12, the terminal device 10a is the same as the terminal device 10.

[0063] (Dispensing device)

[0064] The distribution device 20 is configured, for example, in a live performance venue 50. The distribution device 20 is connected to the terminal device 10 via a wireless communication line. Furthermore, the distribution device 20 is connected to the venue equipment 53 via a wired or wireless communication line. Additionally, the distribution device 20 is not limited to being configured in the live performance venue 50; it can also be configured in a designated location connected to the venue equipment 53 via a wired or wireless communication line, or in the cloud connected to the venue equipment 53 via a wired or wireless communication line. The distribution device 20 can also be connected via the Internet to multiple vehicles 60 parked in the live performance venue 50.

[0065] Figure 5 This is a block diagram illustrating the distribution device 20 according to Embodiment 1. Figure 5 As shown, the distribution device 20 includes an information receiving unit 21, a heat level generation unit 22, a heat level statistics unit 23, and a distribution unit 24.

[0066] The information receiving unit 21 is connected to the information transmitting unit 12 of the terminal device 10 via a wireless communication line. The information receiving unit 21 receives at least one of the following information from the information transmitting unit 12: audio information, video information, and vehicle information.

[0067] The enthusiasm level generation unit 22 generates the enthusiasm level of the occupant 61 based on at least one of the received sound information, image information, and vehicle information.

[0068] The level of enthusiasm is an indicator of how enthusiastic the occupants 61 are. For example, the enthusiasm level generation unit 22 generates the enthusiasm level based on sound information. The enthusiasm level generation unit 22 can also generate the enthusiasm level based on the volume emitted by the occupants 61. The louder the volume emitted by the occupants 61, the greater the enthusiasm level. In addition, the higher the pitch of the sound emitted by the occupants 61, the greater the enthusiasm level. Moreover, the longer the sound emitted by the occupants, the greater the enthusiasm level. The enthusiasm level can also be generated based on the specific language emitted by the occupants 61.

[0069] For example, the level of enthusiasm can be increased when crew member 61 says things like "the performer's name," "Hey," or "Best." Furthermore, the level of enthusiasm can be increased based on the number of times these phrases are uttered. Additionally, the level of enthusiasm can be increased when crew member 61 whistles, laughs, or sings in a group.

[0070] The intensity generation unit 22 can generate an intensity level based on image information. The intensity generation unit 22 can also generate an intensity level based on the body movements of the occupant 61. For example, the larger the body movements of the occupant 61, the greater the intensity level. Furthermore, the faster the body movements of the occupant 61, the greater the intensity level. Moreover, the intensity level can be increased by performing specific movements such as raising a fist or shaking the head left and right. Additionally, the intensity level can be increased based on the number of times these movements are performed.

[0071] The intensity generation unit 22 can generate the intensity level based on vehicle information. The intensity level can also be generated based on actions such as horn honking, light flashing, and steering input. The more times the horn is honked and the more times the lights flash, the higher the intensity level. The more times the steering wheel is operated, the higher the intensity level.

[0072] The enthusiasm level statistics unit 23 separately calculates the enthusiasm level of the occupants 61 in multiple vehicles 60 within the live performance venue 50. Specifically, the enthusiasm level statistics unit 23 calculates the enthusiasm level of the occupants in multiple vehicles 60 within the live performance venue 50 based on at least one of the following information: audio information, video information, and vehicle information. Furthermore, the enthusiasm level statistics unit 23 determines the enthusiastic area where the occupants 61 with high enthusiasm levels are located based on the configuration information of the vehicles 60 parked in the live performance venue 50.

[0073] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, when viewed from the vehicle 60C located in the center of the parking lot 52, if more passengers with higher intensity of passion 61 are located on the left LS side compared to the right RS, the intensity statistics unit 23 determines the area on the left LS as the intensity area 62.

[0074] The distribution unit 24 distributes a prescribed superimposed sound and a prescribed superimposed image corresponding to the statistically determined intensity level to each vehicle 60. Furthermore, the distribution unit 24 can also distribute the sound source and video of a live performance to the vehicles 60. Therefore, the distribution unit 24 can superimpose at least one of the prescribed superimposed sound and the prescribed superimposed image corresponding to the intensity level onto at least one of the sound source and the video of a live performance, and distribute it to each vehicle 60. That is, the distribution unit 24 distributes to each terminal device 10 a live performance sound source and a live performance video superimposed with at least one of the prescribed superimposed sound and the prescribed superimposed image generated based on the statistically determined intensity level of each vehicle 60. Upon receipt, the information receiving unit 13 of the terminal device 10 receives from the distribution device 20 a live performance sound source and a live performance video superimposed with at least one of the prescribed superimposed sound and the prescribed superimposed image generated by the distribution device 20 based on the intensity level statistically determined by the distribution device 20. Furthermore, the overlay output unit 14 of the terminal device 10 outputs at least one of the sound source and the image of the live performance, which are received by the information receiving unit 13 and overlaid with at least one of the prescribed overlay sound and the prescribed overlay image generated by the distribution device 20.

[0075] The distribution unit 24 can also distribute superimposed sound and superimposed image to each vehicle 60 according to the positional relationship between each vehicle 60 and the heated area 62, so that the occupants 61 of each vehicle 60 can hear the superimposed sound emanating from the direction of the heated area 62 and / or see the superimposed image in the direction of the heated area 62. After receiving, the superimposed output unit 14 of each terminal device 10 outputs superimposed sound and superimposed image according to the positional relationship between the vehicle 60 and the heated area 62, so that the occupants 61 of each vehicle 60 can hear the superimposed sound emanating from the direction of the heated area 62 and / or see the superimposed image in the direction of the heated area 62.

[0076] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the distribution unit 24 distributes a live performance audio source with superimposed sound, based on the positional relationship between vehicle 60C and the enthusiastic area 62, to the occupants 61 of vehicle 60C, in a manner that allows cheers to be heard from the left LS direction. Consequently, the superimposed output unit 14 outputs the live performance audio source with superimposed sound, also with cheers heard from the left LS direction. Furthermore, the distribution unit 24 distributes a live performance image with superimposed image, showing raised fists and pen lights visible from the left LS direction. Consequently, the superimposed output unit 14 outputs a live performance image with superimposed image, showing raised fists and pen lights visible from the left LS direction.

[0077] Furthermore, based on the positional relationship between the vehicle 60B located behind the parking lot 52 and the enthusiastic area 62, the distribution unit 24 distributes a live performance audio source with superimposed sound, where cheers can be heard from the front, to the occupants 61 of the vehicle 60B. Consequently, the superimposed output unit 14 outputs the live performance audio source with superimposed sound, where cheers can be heard from the front. Additionally, the distribution unit 24 distributes a live performance image with superimposed images, where raised fists and pen lights can be seen from the front. Consequently, the superimposed output unit 14 outputs a live performance image with superimposed images, where raised fists and pen lights can be seen from the front.

[0078] Figure 6 This is a block diagram illustrating another distribution device 20a according to Embodiment 1. (See diagram below.) Figure 4 As shown, when the terminal device 10a has a heat generation unit 22, such as Figure 6 As shown, the distribution device 20a may also lack the heat level generation unit 22. In this case, the information receiving unit 21 of the distribution device 20a receives the heat level generated by the heat level generation unit 22 of the terminal device 10a from the terminal device 10a. Except for the heat level generation unit 22 and the information receiving unit 21 in the distribution device 20a, it is the same as the distribution device 20.

[0079] As explained above, the distribution system 1 of this embodiment detects at least one of the following: audio information and video information of an occupant 61 sitting in vehicle 60 watching a live performance in venue 50, and vehicle information indicating the status of vehicle 60. Furthermore, the distribution system 1 generates an assessment of the occupant 61's enthusiasm based on the audio information, video information, and vehicle information, and separately calculates the enthusiasm levels of multiple vehicles 60 in venue 50. At least one of a predetermined superimposed sound and a predetermined superimposed image corresponding to the calculated enthusiasm level is superimposed with at least one of the sound source and video of the live performance. Thus, the occupant 61 of vehicle 60 can enjoy the sound source and video of the live performance superimposed with at least one of the predetermined superimposed sound and video.

[0080] (Distribution method)

[0081] Next, the distribution method will be explained as an action of distribution system 1. Figure 7 This is a sequence diagram illustrating the distribution method of the distribution system 1 according to Embodiment 1.

[0082] like Figure 7As shown in step S11, the terminal device 10 detects audio information, video information, and vehicle information. Specifically, the information detection unit 11 of the terminal device 10 detects at least one of the audio information, video information, and vehicle information of the occupant 61 who is sitting in the vehicle 60 watching the live performance in the live performance venue 50.

[0083] Next, as shown in step S12, the terminal device 10 sends the audio information, video information, and vehicle information to the distribution device 20. Specifically, the information sending unit 12 of the terminal device 10 sends at least one of the detected audio information, video information, and vehicle information to the information receiving unit 21 of the distribution device 20.

[0084] Next, as shown in step S13, the distribution device 20 receives audio information, video information, and vehicle information. Specifically, the information receiving unit 21 of the distribution device 20 receives at least one of the audio information, video information, and vehicle information sent from the terminal device 10.

[0085] Next, as shown in step S14, the distribution device 20 generates the temperature level. Specifically, the temperature level generation unit 22 of the distribution device 20 generates the temperature level of the occupants 61 of the vehicle 60 based on at least one of sound information, image information, and vehicle information.

[0086] Next, as shown in step S15, the distribution device 20 calculates the enthusiasm level. Specifically, the enthusiasm level calculation unit 23 of the distribution device 20 calculates the enthusiasm level of the occupants 61 in each of the multiple vehicles 60 in the live performance venue 50. Furthermore, in step S15, the enthusiasm level calculation unit 23 can also determine the enthusiastic area 62 where the occupants 61 with high enthusiasm levels are located based on the configuration information of the vehicles 60 parked in the live performance venue 50.

[0087] Next, as shown in step S16, the distribution device 20 distributes the sound source and the video of the live performance, which are superimposed with a predetermined superimposed sound and a predetermined superimposed video. Specifically, the distribution unit 24 of the distribution device 20 generates the predetermined superimposed sound and the predetermined superimposed video based on a statistical intensity, and distributes the sound source and the video of the live performance, which are superimposed with at least one of the generated predetermined superimposed sound and the predetermined superimposed video, to each vehicle 60. In addition, in step S16, the distribution unit 24 may also distribute the predetermined superimposed sound and the predetermined superimposed video to each vehicle 60 according to the positional relationship between each vehicle 60 and the intensity area 62, so that the occupants 61 of each vehicle 60 can hear the superimposed sound emanating from the direction of the intensity area 62 and / or can see the superimposed video in the direction of the intensity area 62.

[0088] Next, as shown in step S17, the terminal device 10 receives the sound source and the video of the live performance, which are superimposed with a predetermined superimposed sound and a predetermined superimposed video. Specifically, the information receiving unit 13 of the terminal device 10 receives from the distributing unit 20 the sound source and the video of the live performance, which are superimposed with at least one of the predetermined superimposed sound and the predetermined superimposed video generated by the distributing unit 24.

[0089] Next, as shown in step S18, the terminal device 10 outputs a sound source and a video of a live performance that are superimposed with a predetermined superimposed sound and a predetermined superimposed video. Specifically, the superimposed output unit 14 of the terminal device 10 outputs a sound source and a video of a live performance that are superimposed with at least one of the received predetermined superimposed sound and predetermined superimposed video.

[0090] Figure 8 This is a sequence diagram illustrating a distribution method of another distribution system according to Embodiment 1. In another distribution system including a terminal device 10a and a distribution device 20a, the terminal device 10a has a heat generation unit 22. In this case, the distribution device 20a may also not have a heat generation unit 22. Therefore, as Figure 8 As shown in step S12a, the intensity generation unit 22 of the terminal device 10a generates an intensity level based on the information detected by the information detection unit 11. Then, as shown in step S13a, the information transmission unit 12 of the terminal device 10a transmits the generated intensity level to the distribution device 20a. Thus, as shown in step S14a, the information receiving unit 21 of the distribution device 20a receives the transmitted intensity level. Apart from this, the operation of the terminal device 10a and the distribution device 20a is the same as that of the terminal device 10 and the distribution device 20.

[0091] Thus, the distribution method of this embodiment detects at least one of the following: the sound information and image information of an occupant 61 sitting in vehicle 60 watching a live performance in a live performance venue, and vehicle information indicating the state of vehicle 60. Then, based on the sound information, image information, and vehicle information, the intensity of the occupant 61's enthusiasm is generated, and the detected information is sent to the distribution device 20, which separately counts the intensity of enthusiasm of multiple vehicles 60 in the live performance venue 50. Based on the counted intensity, at least one of the sound source and image of the live performance, superimposed with at least one of a predetermined superimposed sound and a predetermined superimposed image generated by the distribution device 20, is output. When outputting at least one of the superimposed sound source and image of the live performance, the distribution device 20 can also determine the intensity zone 62 where the occupant 61 with a high intensity is located based on the configuration information of the vehicles 60 parked in the live performance venue 50. In this case, based on the positional relationship between vehicle 60 and intensity zone 62, superimposed sound and superimposed image are output, so that the occupant 61 can hear the superimposed sound emanating from the direction of intensity zone 62 and / or can see the superimposed image in the direction of intensity zone 62.

[0092] Figure 9 This is a flowchart illustrating the distribution method of the terminal device 10 according to Embodiment 1. Figure 9 As shown, the distribution method of the terminal device 10 includes an information detection step S21, an information sending step S22, an information receiving step S23, and an overlay output step S24.

[0093] First, in the information detection step S21, the information detection unit 11 of the terminal device 10 detects at least one of the following: the sound information, the image information, and the vehicle information of the passenger 61 who is sitting in the vehicle 60 in the live performance venue 50 watching the live performance.

[0094] Next, in the information transmission step S22, the information transmission unit 12 of the terminal device 10 transmits at least one of the detected sound information, image information, and vehicle information to the distribution device 20.

[0095] Next, in the information receiving step S23, the information receiving unit 13 of the terminal device 10 receives the sound source and the video of the live performance, which are superimposed with a predetermined superimposed sound and a predetermined superimposed video, transmitted from the distribution device 20. Specifically, the information receiving unit 13 receives the sound source and the video of the live performance, which are superimposed with at least one of the predetermined superimposed sound and the predetermined superimposed video generated by the distribution device 20 based on the intensity of the performance as statistically determined by the distribution device 20.

[0096] Next, in the overlay output step S24, the overlay output unit 14 of the terminal device 10 outputs the received sound source and image of the live performance, which are overlaid with a predetermined overlay sound and a predetermined overlay image. Specifically, the overlay output unit 14 outputs the sound source and image of the live performance, which are overlaid with at least one of the predetermined overlay sound and predetermined overlay image generated by the distribution device 20. Furthermore, in the overlay output step S24, the distribution device 20 may determine the enthusiastic area 62 where the occupant 61 is located based on the configuration information of the vehicles 60 parked in the live performance venue 50. Moreover, the overlay sound and overlay image may be output according to the positional relationship between the vehicle 60 and the enthusiastic area 62, so that the occupant 61 can hear the overlay sound emanating from the direction of the enthusiastic area 62 and / or can see the overlay image in the direction of the enthusiastic area 62. In this way, the terminal device 10 receives and outputs the live performance.

[0097] Figure 10 This is a flowchart illustrating a distribution method for another terminal device 10a according to Embodiment 1. For example... Figure 10 As shown in step S21a, the terminal device 10a may have a heat level generation unit 22, which generates a heat level based on the detected information. In this case, during the information transmission step S22, the information transmission unit 12 of the terminal device 10a transmits the generated heat level to the distribution device 20a. Apart from this, the operation of the terminal device 10a is the same as that of the terminal device 10.

[0098] Figure 11 This is a flowchart illustrating the distribution method of the distribution device 20 according to Embodiment 1. Figure 11 As shown, the distribution method of the distribution device 20 includes an information receiving step S31, a heat level generation step S32, a heat level statistics step S33, and a distribution step S34.

[0099] First, in the information receiving step S31, the information receiving unit 21 of the distribution device 20 receives from the terminal device 10 at least one of the following: the sound information, the image information, and the vehicle information of the passenger 61 who is watching the live performance in the vehicle 60 at the live performance venue 50.

[0100] Next, in the heat level generation step S32, the heat level generation unit 22 of the distribution device 20 generates the heat level of the occupant 61 based on at least one of the sound information, image information and vehicle information.

[0101] Next, in the enthusiasm level statistics step S33, the enthusiasm level statistics unit 23 of the distribution device 20 counts the enthusiasm level of the occupants 61 of multiple vehicles 60 in the live performance venue 50. In the enthusiasm level statistics step S33, the enthusiasm area 62 where the occupants 61 with high enthusiasm levels are located can also be determined based on the configuration information of the vehicles 60 parked in the live performance venue 50.

[0102] Next, in distribution step S34, the distribution unit 24 of the distribution device 20 superimposes at least one of a predetermined superimposed sound and a predetermined superimposed image corresponding to the statistical intensity onto at least one of the sound source and the image of the live performance, and distributes it to each vehicle 60. That is, the distribution unit 24 generates at least one of the predetermined superimposed sound and the predetermined superimposed image based on the intensity statistical unit 23. Moreover, the distribution unit 24 distributes the sound source and the image of the live performance superimposed with the generated predetermined superimposed sound and the predetermined superimposed image to each vehicle 60. In distribution step S34, the sound source can also be superimposed onto the sound source of the live performance in a manner that the occupants 61 of each vehicle 60 can hear the superimposed sound emanating from the direction of the intense area, based on the positional relationship between each vehicle 60 and the intense area 62. Alternatively, the sound source can be superimposed onto the image of the live performance in a manner that the occupants 61 of each vehicle 60 can see the superimposed image in the direction of the intense area.

[0103] Figure 12 This is a flowchart illustrating a distribution method of another distribution device 20a according to Embodiment 1. For example... Figure 12 As shown, another distribution device 20a may also lack a heat level generation step. In this case, during the information receiving step S31, the information receiving unit 21 of the distribution device 20a receives the heat level from the terminal device 10a. Apart from this, the operation of the distribution device 20a is the same as that of the distribution device 20.

[0104] Next, the effects of this embodiment will be explained. In this embodiment, the distribution system 1 overlays a predetermined superimposed sound and a predetermined superimposed image onto the sound source and image of the live performance, corresponding to the level of enthusiasm of the occupants 61 enjoying the live performance from inside the vehicle 60 in a venue such as a live performance venue 50. Therefore, the occupants 61 of the vehicle 60 can maintain a certain distance from others, thus enhancing the sense of presence and immersion during the live music performance.

[0105] The distribution system 1 generates the level of enthusiasm of the occupants 61 based on their audio and video information, as well as vehicle information, while they are enjoying a live performance in vehicle 60. Therefore, it can accurately determine the level of enthusiasm of the occupants 61. Furthermore, the distribution system 1 separately calculates the level of enthusiasm of the occupants 61 in multiple vehicles 60 within the live performance venue 50, thus accurately determining the level of enthusiasm of the occupants 61 relative to other vehicles 60. Therefore, it can accurately determine the most enthusiastic area 62 within the live performance venue 50.

[0106] Superimposed sound is emitted to vehicle 60 so that occupant 61 of vehicle 60 can hear the superimposed sound emanating from the direction of the intense area 62. Furthermore, superimposed image is emitted to vehicle 60 so that occupant 61 of vehicle 60 can see the superimposed image in the direction of the intense area 62. Therefore, the sense of presence is enhanced. In addition, the intensity level corresponding to the positional relationship between the intense area 62 and the vehicle itself can be displayed, allowing the directional nature of the intensity to be perceived, thus enhancing the sense of presence.

[0107] The distribution device 20 can provide feedback to the entire performance venue 50 based on the level of enthusiasm of the audience 61 watching the live performance. For example, the distribution device 20 can also output prescribed superimposed audio and images corresponding to the level of enthusiasm to the venue speakers, lighting equipment, screens, and display devices of the venue equipment 53. This can also enhance the sense of presence and immersion of the live music performance.

[0108] Next, the method by which the heat level statistics unit 23 of the distribution device 20 obtains the configuration positions of multiple vehicles 60 will be explained. Figure 13 This is a diagram illustrating the electronic ticket according to Embodiment 1. Figure 14 This is a diagram illustrating a guide to the parking lot 52 according to Embodiment 1. Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, for example, the occupant 61 of vehicle 60 notifies the parking location of vehicle 60 via an electronic ticket displayed on the screen of a portable terminal 10M such as a smartphone. Furthermore, the occupant 61 parks vehicle 60 in the designated parking location according to the guide map displayed on the screen. The distribution device 20 acquires this information about the parking location of vehicle 60. Therefore, the activity level statistics unit 23 of the distribution device 20 can use the configuration locations of multiple vehicles 60 in its statistics.

[0109] In addition, electronic tickets and navigation maps are not limited to being displayed on mobile terminal 10M, but can also be displayed on car navigation system 10C and dashcam 10D.

[0110] (Implementation Method 2)

[0111] Next, the distribution system according to Embodiment 2 will be described. In Embodiment 1 described above, the distribution unit 24 of the distribution device 20 distributes the sound source and the video of the live performance, which are superimposed with a predetermined superimposed sound and a predetermined superimposed video, to the terminal device 10. However, in this embodiment, the distribution unit 24 of the distribution device 20 distributes the statistical intensity, the sound source of the live performance, and the video of the live performance to the terminal device 10. On the other hand, the information receiving unit 13 of the terminal device 10 receives the statistical intensity, the sound source of the live performance, and the video of the live performance from the distribution device 20. Furthermore, the superimposed output unit 14 of the terminal device 10 superimposes the predetermined superimposed sound and the predetermined superimposed video corresponding to the statistical intensity onto the sound source and the video of the live performance and outputs them.

[0112] Thus, in Embodiment 1, the distribution unit 24 of the distribution device 20 superimposes a predetermined superimposed sound and a predetermined superimposed image onto the sound source and image of the live performance. However, in Embodiment 2, the superimposed output unit 14 of the terminal device 10 superimposes the predetermined superimposed sound and a predetermined superimposed image onto the sound source and image of the live performance. In this embodiment, the terminal device 10 may also generate the predetermined superimposed sound and the predetermined superimposed image. For example, the terminal device 10 may also generate the predetermined superimposed sound and the predetermined superimposed image based on the sound and image stored in the storage device.

[0113] In this embodiment, the occupants 61 of vehicle 60 can maintain a certain distance from others, thereby enhancing the sense of presence and immersion during live music performances. Other structures, movements, and effects are described in Embodiment 1.

[0114] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to embodiments 1 and 2 described above, and appropriate modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, a structure combining the structures of embodiments 1 and 2 is also within the scope of the technical concept of the embodiments.
