DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described.

[0012] (Overview of the embodiment) An overview of a system 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 1. The system 1 includes one or more image capture devices 10, a vehicle 20, and a server 30. The server 30 is capable of communicating with each of the image capture devices 10 and the vehicle 20 via a network 40 such as the Internet.

[0013] The photographing device 10 is a network camera capable of transmitting video via the network 40. In this embodiment, the photographing device 10 is provided at an event venue so as to be able to photograph the state of the event held at the event venue. The "event venue" is, for example, a stadium, but is not limited to this and may be any venue. The "event" is, for example, a competitive sports match, but is not limited to this and may be any event. When the system 1 includes multiple photographing devices 10, each photographing device 10 is disposed at a different position in the event venue. In other words, each photographing device 10 is disposed at the event venue so as to be able to photograph the state of the event from a different photographing position.

[0014] The vehicle 20 may be, for example, a gasoline-powered automobile, an electric automobile (BEV; Battery Electric Vehicle), a hybrid automobile (HEV; Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a plug-in hybrid automobile (PHEV; Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), or a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV; Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle), but is not limited thereto and may be any automobile in which a human can ride. The vehicle 20 may be capable of being driven by a driver in the vehicle, or may be capable of being driven remotely. The vehicle 20 may also be capable of automated driving, such as levels 1 to 5 defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).

[0015] In this embodiment, the vehicle 20 is used to transport users (hereinafter also referred to as "visitors") who visit an event venue to watch a sporting event, for example, to the event venue. Specifically, the vehicle 20 transports visitors from a predetermined departure point to the event venue, which is the destination. The vehicle 20 may be operated in a manner similar to a shuttle bus, for example, in which the vehicle travels from a predetermined departure point to the event venue according to a predetermined schedule. Alternatively, the vehicle 20 may be operated in a manner similar to a taxi, for example, in which the vehicle travels from a departure point reserved by the visitor to the event venue. In this embodiment, for ease of explanation, the vehicle 20 is described as transporting one visitor at a time, but the number of visitors that the vehicle 20 can transport at a time may be two or more.

[0016] The server 30 includes one or more computers that can communicate with each other. In this embodiment, the server 30 can receive a video of an event captured by the image capturing device 10. The server 30 can also transmit the received video to the vehicle 20 as a live video. The server 30 can also transmit a shortened video, which is a shortened version of the received video, to the vehicle 20. The video transmitted from the server 30 to the vehicle 20 is played on a display provided in the cabin of the vehicle 20. In this way, the server 30 can present the video to visitors who are riding in the vehicle 20 by transmitting the video to the vehicle 20.

[0017] Here, an overview of this embodiment will be described, and details will be described later. The server 30 according to this embodiment acquires the time when a predetermined trigger is detected for a visitor moving to an event venue as a target time. When the target time is later than the start time of an event held at the event venue, the server 30 transmits a first shortened video obtained by shortening a first video of the event taken from the start time to the target time, thereby presenting the first shortened video to the moving visitor. After the playback of the first shortened video ends, the server 30 transmits a live video of the event, thereby presenting the live video to the moving visitor.

[0018] Thus, according to the present embodiment, a visitor moving to an event venue is first presented with a first shortened video, which is a shortened version of a first video of the event taken from the start time of the event to a target time, and then a live video of the event is presented. Therefore, even if a visitor cannot arrive at the event venue by the start time of the event, the visitor can indirectly experience the state of the event after the start time by watching the first shortened video while moving to the event venue. Furthermore, the visitor can indirectly experience the state of the event after the end of the first shortened video by watching the live video presented after the first shortened video while moving to the event venue. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the technology for providing services to visitors at an event venue is improved in that the satisfaction level of visitors who cannot arrive at the event venue by the start time of the event can be maintained or improved.

For example, the storage unit 32 may store a system program, an application program, embedded software, a database, and the like. The storage unit 32 may also store a video received from the image capture device 10 via the network 40.

[0034] The control unit 33 includes one or more processors, one or more programmable circuits, one or more dedicated circuits, or a combination thereof. The control unit 33 controls the operation of the entire server 30.

[0035] (Server operation) The operation of the server 30 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0036] S100: The control unit 33 of the server 30 determines whether or not a predetermined trigger is detected for a visitor moving to the event venue. If it is determined that a trigger is detected (S100-Yes), the process proceeds to S101. On the other hand, if it is determined that a trigger is not detected (S100-No), the process repeats S100.

[0037] In this embodiment, the "trigger" is a visitor getting on board the vehicle 20 whose destination is an event venue. As described above, the vehicle 20 is used to transport visitors to the event venue to the event venue, so a user who gets on the vehicle 20 can be considered a "visitor traveling to the event venue." When a user gets on the vehicle 20, the control unit 25 of the vehicle 20 notifies the server 30 via the communication unit 21 of the time when the visitor traveling to the event venue got on the vehicle 20. Then, when the control unit 33 of the server 30 receives a notification indicating the boarding time from the vehicle 20, it determines that a trigger was detected at the boarding time.

[0038] S101: If it is determined in S100 that a trigger has been detected (S100-Yes), the control unit 33 acquires the time at which the trigger was detected as the target time.

[0039] In this embodiment, the control unit 33 acquires the boarding time received from the vehicle 20 in S100 as the target time.

[0040] S102: The control unit 33 judges whether the target time is later than the start time of the event held at the event venue. If it is judged that the target time is later than the start time (S102-Yes), the process proceeds to S103. On the other hand, if it is not judged that the target time is later than the start time (S102-No), the process ends.

[0041] Specifically, the control unit 33 compares the target time with the start time of an event previously stored in the storage unit 32, for example, and determines whether the target time is later than the start time.

[0042] S103: If it is determined in S102 that the target time is later than the start time (S102-Yes), the control unit 33 presents the first shortened video to the attendee who is moving to the event venue.

[0043] The "first shortened video" is a video shortened from the first video of the event filmed from the start time to the target time. Specifically, the control unit 33 receives the video of the event filmed by the filming device 10 after the start time from the filming device 10 via the communication unit 31. The control unit 33 acquires the part of the received video filmed from the start time to the target time as the first video. The control unit 33 shortens the first video by any video editing process to generate the first shortened video. Here, any method can be adopted for shortening the video, such as n-times speed playback or unnecessary scene deletion. In addition, when the unnecessary scene deletion method is adopted, the control unit 33 may automatically determine and delete unnecessary scenes using, for example, AI (Artificial Intelligence) or a rule-based algorithm. Then, the control unit 33 presents the first shortened video to the visitor riding in the vehicle 20 by transmitting the first shortened video to the vehicle 20. Specifically, the control unit 25 of the vehicle 20 plays the first shortened video received from the server 30 and displays it on the display of the output unit 22.

[0044] S104: The control unit 33 judges whether the first shortened video presented to the visitor has finished playing. If it is judged that the first shortened video has finished playing (S104-Yes), the process proceeds to S105. On the other hand, if it is judged that the first shortened video has not finished playing (S104-No), the process repeats S104.

[0045] Specifically, when the playback of the first shortened video ends, the control unit 25 of the vehicle 20 notifies the server 30 of the time when the playback of the first shortened video ends (first playback end time) via the communication unit 21. When the control unit 33 of the server 30 receives the notification indicating the first playback end time from the vehicle 20, it determines that the playback of the first shortened video has ended.

[0046] S105: When it is determined in S104 that the playback of the first shortened video has ended (S104-Yes), the control unit 33 presents the second shortened video to the attendee who is moving to the event venue.

[0047] The "second shortened video" is a video shortened from the second video of the event filmed from the target time to the playback end time of the first shortened video. Specifically, the control unit 33 receives the video of the event filmed by the filming device 10 after the target time from the filming device 10 via the communication unit 31. The control unit 33 acquires the part of the received video filmed from the target time to the first playback end time as the second video. The control unit 33 shortens the second video by any video editing process to generate the second shortened video. Then, the control unit 33 presents the second shortened video to the visitor riding in the vehicle 20 by transmitting the second shortened video to the vehicle 20. Specifically, the control unit 25 of the vehicle 20 plays the second shortened video received from the server 30 and displays it on the display of the output unit 22.

[0048] S106: The control unit 33 judges whether the second shortened video presented to the visitor has finished playing. If it is judged that the second shortened video has finished playing (S106-Yes), the process proceeds to S107. On the other hand, if it is judged that the second shortened video has not finished playing (S106-No), the process repeats S106.

[0049] Specifically, when the playback of the second shortened video ends, the control unit 25 of the vehicle 20 notifies the server 30 of the time when the playback of the second shortened video ends (second playback end time) via the communication unit 21. When the control unit 33 of the server 30 receives the notification indicating the second playback end time from the vehicle 20, it determines that the playback of the second shortened video has ended.

[0050] S107: If it is determined in S106 that the playback of the second shortened video has ended (S106-Yes), the control unit 33 presents the live video of the event to the attendee who is moving to the event venue. Then, the process ends.

[0051] Specifically, the control unit 33 transmits the live video received from the image capturing device 10 to the vehicle 20 via the communication unit 31, thereby presenting the live video to the visitor riding in the vehicle 20. The live video may be presented, for example, until the vehicle 20 arrives at the event venue, which is the destination (arrival time).

[0052] Here, the various videos relating to S103 to S107 described above will be specifically described with reference to Fig. 6. In the graph of Fig. 6, the horizontal axis indicates time, the upper part of the vertical axis indicates the time for which the video was captured by the imaging device 10, and the lower part of the vertical axis indicates the time for which the video was played back by the vehicle 20.

[0053] In the example shown in FIG. 6, the target time t1 is later than the start time t0 by Δt1. Therefore, the video with length Δt1 captured by the imaging device 10 from the start time t0 to the target time t1 is the first video. As described above, the first video is shortened to generate the first shortened video. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the length of the first shortened video is Δt2 (where Δt2<Δt1). Playback of the first shortened video in the vehicle 20 starts at the target time t1 and ends at the first playback end time t2.

[0054] In the example shown in FIG. 6, the video with length Δt2 captured by the image capture device 10 from target time t1 to first playback end time t2 is the second video. As described above, the second shortened video is generated by shortening the second video. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the length of the second shortened video is Δt3 (where Δt3<Δt2). Playback of the second shortened video in the vehicle 20 starts at the first playback end time t2 and ends at the second playback end time t3. Then, from the second playback end time t3 to the arrival time t4, the live video captured by the image capture device 10 is played back in the vehicle 20.

[0055] Here, the first ratio of the length of the first shortened video to the length of the first video (i.e., Δt2 / Δt1) and the second ratio of the length of the second shortened video to the length of the second video (i.e., Δt3 / Δt2) may be different. For example, the control unit 33 of the server 30 may generate the first shortened video and the second shortened video so that the second ratio is greater than the first ratio. Generally, the greater the ratio of the length of the shortened video to the length of the original video (i.e., the closer to 1), the more lively the shortened video feels. According to this configuration, the live feeling increases in the order of the first shortened video, the second shortened video, and the live video presented to the attendees, so that the attendees' satisfaction with the event may be further improved.

[0056] As described above, the server 30 according to the present embodiment acquires the time when a predetermined trigger is detected for a visitor moving to an event venue as a target time. If the target time is later than the start time of an event held at the event venue, the server 30 transmits a first shortened video obtained by shortening a first video of the event filmed from the start time to the target time, thereby presenting the first shortened video to the moving visitor. After the playback of the first shortened video ends, the server 30 transmits a live video of the event, thereby presenting the live video to the moving visitor.

[0057] According to this configuration, as described above, even if a visitor cannot arrive at the event venue by the start time of the event, the visitor can indirectly experience the state of the event after the start time by watching the first shortened video while moving to the event venue. Also, the visitor can indirectly experience the state of the event after the first shortened video ends by watching the live video presented after the first shortened video while moving to the event venue. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the technology for providing services to visitors at the event venue is improved in that the satisfaction level of the visitor who cannot arrive at the event venue by the start time of the event can be maintained or improved.

[0058] Although the present disclosure has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various modifications and alterations based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and alterations are included in the scope of the present disclosure. For example, the functions included in each component or step can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and multiple components or steps can be combined or divided into one.

[0059] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration and operation of the server 30 may be distributed among multiple computers that can communicate with each other. Also, some of the operations of the server 30 shown in Fig. 5 may be omitted. For example, by omitting S105 and S106 described above, a live video may be presented after the first shortened video is played.

[0060] Also, for example, an embodiment is possible in which a general-purpose computer functions as the server 30 according to the above-described embodiment. Specifically, a program describing the processing contents for realizing each function of the server 30 according to the above-described embodiment is stored in the memory of the general-purpose computer, and the program is read and executed by a processor. Therefore, the present disclosure can also be realized as a program executable by a processor, or a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores the program.

[0061] In the above-described embodiment, the trigger detected for a visitor traveling to the event venue is that the visitor boards the vehicle 20 with the event venue as the destination. However, the trigger is not limited to this example, and can be any trigger indicating that the visitor is traveling to the event venue. For example, the trigger may be that the visitor traveling to the event venue performs a predetermined operation on a terminal device such as a smartphone. In one example, the control unit 33 of the server 30 stores in advance in the storage unit 32, for example, account information of a purchaser of a ticket for an event held at the event venue. The ticket purchaser logs into the system 1 using the account information from his / her terminal device, and then performs an operation of route guidance with the event venue as the destination. When the ticket purchaser performs an operation of route guidance to the event venue, the purchaser can be considered as a visitor traveling to the event venue. In response to the operation, the terminal device notifies the server 30 of the time (operation time) when the ticket purchaser performed the operation. Then, when the control unit 33 of the server 30 receives a notification of the operation time from the terminal device, it determines that a trigger was detected at the operation time (S100-Yes), and acquires the operation time as a target time (S101). Note that the destination to which the server 30 transmits various videos can be the terminal device of the visitor, not the vehicle 20. With this configuration, even if the visitor travels to the event venue by other means of transportation rather than using the vehicle 20, various videos can be presented to the visitor.

[0062] In the above-described embodiment, various videos may be presented using a photographing device 10 selected by a visitor moving to the event venue from among a plurality of photographing devices 10 arranged at the event venue so that the state of the event venue can be photographed from different photographing positions. Specifically, a visitor moving to the event venue selects a desired photographing position from among the photographing positions of the plurality of photographing devices 10 via the input unit 23 of the vehicle 20. The control unit 25 of the vehicle 20 notifies the server 30 of the selected photographing position. When the control unit 33 of the server 30 receives a notification from the vehicle 20 indicating the photographing position selected by the visitor, the control unit 33 presents the first video, the second video, and the live video to the visitor using the videos photographed by the photographing device 10 installed at the photographing position. The selection of the photographing device 10 by the visitor may be performed repeatedly, for example, while the visitor is riding in the vehicle 20.
