Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or equivalent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0010] [Overview of the System] The title creation system according to the present disclosure is a computer system that creates a title for content to be distributed to users. Content refers to information provided by a computer or computer system that can be recognized by a person. Electronic data indicating content is referred to as content data. In one example, the content may be video content expressed by video including audio. The video content may include video created by an imaging device such as a camera, may include computer graphics (CG), or may include both. In another example, the content may be in a radio format expressed by audio. The content can be used for various modes of information transmission or communication, and can be used, for example, in various scenarios or for various purposes such as news, education, medical, games, chat, business transactions, lectures, seminars, training, concerts, questionnaires, etc. The distribution of content refers to the process executed to provide content to users, for example, the process of transmitting information to users via a communication network.

[0011] The title creation system provides the content to the viewer by transmitting the content data indicating the content to the viewer terminal. In one example, the content is provided by a distributor. A distributor is a person who attempts to provide information to a viewer by the title creation system and is the sender of the content. A viewer is a person who attempts to obtain information by the title creation system and is a user of the content. The title creation system transmits the content data provided from the distributor terminal to the viewer terminal. The viewer terminal processes the content data and displays the content on the screen. The content is also displayed on the screen of the distributor terminal.

[0012] In the present disclosure, an example in which a title creation system is applied to a platform for performing so-called live distribution will be described. For example, a distributor terminal processes a captured video to create content data, and transmits the content data to a server in real time. The server receives the content data and transmits the content data to a viewer terminal in real time. This is one aspect of Internet live broadcasting. The content data may be created in the title creation system. That is, the title creation system may process a real-time video provided from the distributor terminal to create content data, and transmit the content data to the viewer terminal in real time.

[0013] Before the start of live distribution, a title of the content is set. The title is one of the information obtained by a viewer before watching the live distribution. For example, when a viewer accesses the title creation system using a viewer terminal, the title of each content is displayed on the viewer terminal. The viewer checks information such as the title and selects the content to be viewed. The title creation system creates a title using distributor information (first information) which is information about the distributor and content information (second information) which is information about the content, and proposes it to the distributor. The distributor information may be information indicating the distributor itself, or may be information indicating the results associated with past distributions. The distributor information is stored in a predetermined storage device or the like in advance. The content information is information indicating at least a part of the content scheduled for live distribution. The content information can be set via the distributor terminal immediately before the live distribution.

[0014] [Configuration of the system] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the application of the title creation system 1. The title creation system 1 includes a server 10. The server 10 is a computer that distributes content data. The server 10 is connected to one or more distributor terminals 20 and one or more viewer terminals 30 via a communication network N. The server 10 is also connected to a database 40 via the communication network N. The communication network N may be configured to include the Internet or may be configured to include an intranet.

[0015] The distributor terminal 20 is a computer used by a distributor. In one example, the distributor terminal 20 has a function of creating content and a function of transmitting content data indicating the content to the server 10. The distributor terminal 20 may be a personal computer, a high-performance mobile phone (smartphone), a tablet terminal, a wearable terminal (e.g., a head-mounted display (HMD), smart glasses, etc.), or a mobile phone. The distributor terminal 20 may be a shooting system having a function of shooting, recording, and transmitting video.

[0016] The viewer terminal 30 is a computer used by a viewer. In one example, the viewer terminal 30 has a function of receiving content data from the server 10 and displaying the content data. The viewer terminal 30 may be a personal computer, a high-performance mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a wearable terminal, or a mobile phone.

[0017] The distributor operates the distributor terminal 20 to log in to the title creation system 1 and provides content to the viewer. The viewer operates the viewer terminal 30 to log in to the title creation system 1 and views the content. In the present disclosure, it is assumed that the viewers and distributors of the title creation system 1 are already logged in. Logging in by the viewer may be omitted. That is, the title creation system 1 may transmit content data to the viewer terminal 30 of a general viewer who is not logged in. In this case, a general viewer who is not logged in can also view the content.

[0018] The database 40 is a non-transitory storage device. The database 40 may be constructed as a single database or may be a collection of multiple databases. The database 40 may be a component of the title creation system 1 or may be provided in a computer system separate from the title creation system 1.

[0019] The database 40 stores distributor information regarding the distributor. Examples of the distributor information include, but are not limited to, an ID which is an identifier that uniquely identifies the distributor, a distribution history, a nickname, an event participation history, an event participation result, a community size, and a degree of attention. The distribution history is information on past distributions. For example, the distribution history is the number of distributions or the number of days elapsed since the first distribution. The nickname is a username set in advance by each distributor. For example, a distributor conducts a live distribution using the nickname. An event is held within a platform that conducts live distributions. An event can be participated in by conducting a live distribution. The event participation history is information on events that the distributor has participated in the past. The event participation result is information such as the number of points obtained by the distributor in the event. The community size is information indicating the size of the community to which the distributor belongs. The community size can be indicated by, for example, the number of members (followers), the number of viewers, or the number of comments. The degree of attention is the number of views, the number of comments, or a comment score, etc. in past distributions. The comment score is a numerical value obtained by scoring the sentiment indicated by a comment, etc. based on, for example, the content or the number of characters of the comment.

[0020] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration related to the title creation system 1. FIG. 2 shows a server computer 100 that functions as a server 10 and a terminal computer 200 that functions as a distributor terminal 20 or a viewer terminal 30.

[0021] As an example, the server computer 100 includes, as hardware components, a processor 101, a main memory unit 102, an auxiliary storage unit 103, and a communication unit 104. The processor 101 is an arithmetic unit that executes an operating system and application programs, and is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). The main memory unit 102 is a device that stores programs to be executed, calculation results, etc., and is composed of, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) or a RAM (Random Access Memory). The auxiliary storage unit 103 is a device that can generally store a larger amount of data than the main memory unit 102, and is composed of, for example, a non-volatile storage medium such as a hard disk or a flash memory. The auxiliary storage unit 103 stores a server program P1 for causing the server computer 100 to function as the server 10 and various types of data. The communication unit 104 is a device that executes data communication with other computers via a communication network N, and is composed of, for example, a network card or a wireless communication module.

[0022] In this embodiment, the title creation program is implemented as the server program P1. Each functional element of the server 10 is realized by causing the server program P1 to be loaded onto the processor 101 or the main memory unit 102 and causing the processor 101 to execute the program. The server program P1 includes code for realizing each functional element of the server 10. The processor 101 operates the communication unit 104 according to the server program P1 and executes reading and writing of data in the main memory unit 102 or the auxiliary storage unit 103.

[0023] The server 10 can be composed of one or more computers. When a plurality of computers are used, these computers are connected to each other via the communication network N, thereby logically constituting one server 10.

[0024] As an example, the terminal computer 200 includes, as hardware components, a processor 201, a main memory unit 202, an auxiliary storage unit 203, a communication unit 204, an input interface 205, an output interface 206, and an imaging unit 207. The processor 201 is an arithmetic unit that executes an operating system and application programs, and is, for example, a CPU or a GPU. The main memory unit 202 is a device that stores programs to be executed, calculation results, etc., and is composed of, for example, a ROM or a RAM. The auxiliary storage unit 203 is a device that can generally store a larger amount of data than the main memory unit 202, and is composed of, for example, a non-volatile storage medium such as a hard disk or a flash memory. The auxiliary storage unit 203 stores the client program P2 and various types of data for causing the terminal computer 200 to function as the distributor terminal 20 or the viewer terminal 30. The communication unit 204 is a device that executes data communication with other computers via the communication network N, and is composed of, for example, a network card or a wireless communication module. The input interface 205 is a device that receives data based on a user's operation or movement, and is composed of, for example, at least one of a keyboard, operation buttons, a pointing device, a touch panel, a microphone, a sensor, and a camera. The output interface 206 is a device that outputs the data processed by the terminal computer 200, and is configured to include, for example, a display device such as a monitor, a touch panel, or an HMD. The imaging unit 207 is a device that captures an image (video or photo) of the real world, and is, for example, a camera. The imaging unit 207 can also function as the input interface 205.

[0025] Each functional element of the distributor terminal 20 or the viewer terminal 30 is realized by causing the corresponding client program P2 to be read into the processor 201 or the main storage unit 202 and causing the processor 201 to execute the program. The client program P2 includes code for realizing each functional element of the distributor terminal 20 or the viewer terminal 30. The processor 201 operates the communication unit 204, the input interface 205, the output interface 206, or the imaging unit 207 according to the client program P2, and reads and writes data in the main storage unit 202 or the auxiliary storage unit 203.

[0026] At least one of the server program P1 and the client program P2 may be provided after being non-temporarily recorded on a tangible recording medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, or a semiconductor memory. Alternatively, at least one of these programs may be provided via the communication network N as a data signal superimposed on a carrier wave. These programs may be provided separately or together.

[0027] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a functional configuration related to the title creation system 1. The server 10 includes an acquisition unit 11 and a content transfer unit 12 as functional elements. The acquisition unit 11 acquires distributor information from the database 40. The content transfer unit 12 receives content data from the distributor terminal 20 and transmits the content data to the viewer terminal 30.

[0028] The distributor terminal 20 includes an acquisition unit 21, a title creation unit 22, a title display unit 23, a content creation unit 24, and a content display unit 25 as functional elements. The acquisition unit 21 acquires distributor information and content information. The title creation unit 22 creates a title of the content using the distributor information and the content information. The title display unit displays the title on the screen of the distributor terminal 20. The content creation unit 24 creates content and transmits content data indicating the content to the server 10. The content display unit 25 displays the content on the screen of the distributor terminal 20.

[0029] The viewer terminal 30 includes a content display unit 31. The content display unit 31 receives content data from the server 10 and displays the content on the screen of the viewer terminal 30 based on the content data.

[0030] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a program creation screen V. The program creation screen V is a screen for setting content information and a title before starting a live distribution. The program creation screen V is displayed on the distributor terminal 20. The program creation screen V includes a distribution mode column 51, a title column 52, a category column 53, a program tag column 54, a program description column 55, and a distribution button 56.

[0031] The distribution mode column 51 accepts the selection of the distribution mode of the content. The distribution mode is an example of content information. Examples of the distribution mode include, but are not limited to, camera distribution, radio distribution, virtual live distribution, or screen capture distribution. Camera distribution is a form of distribution using a camera. Radio distribution is a form of distribution that distributes only audio. Virtual live distribution is a form of distribution using an avatar. Screen capture distribution is a form of distribution using the screen displayed on the distributor terminal 20. In the program creation screen V, "radio distribution" is set in the distribution mode column 51.

[0032] The title column 52 displays the title of the content. The title column 52 displays the title automatically created by the title creation system 1. In the program creation screen V, "[First distribution] Chat distribution of test users" is displayed in the title column 52.

[0033] The title column 52 may accept the input of the title of the content. In this case, the title column 52 displays the title manually input by the distributor. In another example, the title column 52 may display keywords used for the title.

[0034] The category column 53 accepts the selection of the content category. The category is an example of content information. Examples of categories include, but are not limited to, general (others), games, or cooking. On the program creation screen V, "general (others)" is set in the category column 53.

[0035] The program tag column 54 accepts the input of program tags to be assigned to the content. The program tag is an example of content information. The program tag is a keyword related to the content of the program. On the program creation screen V, the program tag column is "not set".

[0036] The program description column 55 accepts the input of the description text of the content. The description text is an example of content information. On the program creation screen V, "The program is being broadcast from the app" is displayed in the program description column 55.

[0037] The distribution button 56 is a button for creating content and starting a live distribution. In response to the pressing of the distribution button 56, content and the like are created on the distributor terminal 20.

[0038] [Operation of the System] While referring to FIG. 5, the operation of the title creation system 1 will be described, and a title creation method according to an example will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the title creation system 1 as a processing flow M1.

[0039] In step S1, the distributor terminal 20 starts creating a program for live distribution. Creating a program means proceeding to the setting of content information.

[0040] In step S2, the title creation system 1 acquires the distributor information and the content information. The acquisition order of the distributor information and the content information is not limited.

[0041] The acquisition unit 21 of the distributor terminal 20 requests the server 10 to acquire distributor information. For example, the acquisition unit 21 may send a request including the distributor's ID to the server 10. The acquisition unit 11 of the server 10 acquires the distributor information from the database 40. For example, the acquisition unit 11 may acquire the distributor information from the database 40 using the distributor's ID included in the request. The acquisition unit 11 sends a response including the distributor information to the distributor terminal 20. The acquisition unit 21 acquires the distributor information by receiving the response including the distributor information from the server 10. In one example, the distributor information may include the distribution history "first distribution" and the nickname "test user".

[0042] The acquisition unit 21 may acquire the content information set by the distributor. In another example, the acquisition unit 21 may acquire the initial setting content information. The initial setting content information may be preset by the operator of the title creation system 1. The content information may include a distribution mode, a category, a program tag, a description text, etc. In one example, the content information may include the category "general (others)".

[0043] In step S3, the title creation unit 22 of the distributor terminal 20 creates the title of the content using the distributor information and the content information. For example, the title creation unit 22 creates the title of the content using some or all of the information included in the distributor information and some or all of the information included in the content information.

[0044] The distributor information may include a distribution history of past distributions. The title creation unit 22 may create a title using text (first text) corresponding to the distribution history. In one example, the title creation unit 22 may add the first text "[First Distribution]" corresponding to the distribution history "First Distribution" to the title. In another example, the title creation unit 22 may add the first text "[Rookie]" corresponding to the distribution history "Within 30 days from the first distribution" to the title. In yet another example, when the distribution history is "After 30 days from the first distribution", the title creation unit 22 may leave the first text unset or blank. In this case, the title creation unit 22 does not have to add the first text at the beginning of the title.

[0045] The distributor information may include the distributor's nickname. The title creation unit 22 may create a title using the nickname. In one example, the title creation unit 22 may add the nickname "Test User" to the title.

[0046] The content information may include the category of the content. The title creation unit 22 may create a title using text (second text) corresponding to the category. In one example, the title creation unit 22 may add the second text "Chat" corresponding to the category "General (Others)" to the title. In another example, the title creation unit 22 may add the second text "Game" corresponding to the category "Game" to the title. That is, the second text may be the same string as the category or a different string.

[0047] The title creation unit 22 may add the first text at the beginning of the title. The title creation unit 22 may add the nickname after the first text and create a title. The title creation unit 22 may add the second text after the nickname. In one example, the title creation unit 22 may create a title "[First delivery] Chat delivery of test user". In this case, "[First delivery]" is the first text. "Test user" is the nickname. "Chat delivery" is the second text. "Of" and "delivery" before and after the second text may be fixed character strings.

[0048] In step S4, the title display unit 23 of the distributor terminal 20 displays the title on the screen of the distributor terminal 20. For example, the title display unit 23 may display the title in the title field 52 of the program creation screen V.

[0049] In step S5, the title display unit 23 distributes the process according to the presence or absence of manual input of the title. For example, the title display unit 23 may determine whether manual input by the distributor has been performed on the title field 52 of the program creation screen V.

[0050] If there is no manual input of the title ( "no" in step S5), the process proceeds to step S6. If there is manual input of the title ( "yes" in step S5), the process proceeds to step S7.

[0051] In step S6, the acquisition unit 21 distributes the process according to the presence or absence of change in the content information. For example, the acquisition unit 21 may determine whether the content information has been changed by the distributor on the program creation screen V. In one example, the acquisition unit 21 may acquire the presence or absence of change by the distributor for the distribution mode field 51, the category field 53, the program tag field 54, or the program description field 55.

[0052] If there is a change in the content information (Yes in step S6), the process returns to step S3. In step S3, in response to the change in the content information, the title creation unit 22 may recreate the title using the distributor information and the changed content information. In step S4, the title display unit 23 displays the recreated title in the title field 52.

[0053] If there is no change in the content information (No in step S6), the process proceeds to step S8.

[0054] In step S7, the title display unit 23 displays the manually entered title on the screen of the distributor terminal 20. For example, the title display unit 23 displays the manually entered title in the title field 52 of the program creation screen V. That is, the title displayed in the title field 52 is the manually entered title, not the title created by the process of step S3.

[0055] In step S8, the content creation unit 24 of the distributor terminal 20 creates the content. For example, the content creation unit 24 starts creating the content in response to the pressing of the distribution button 56 on the program creation screen V. In one example, the content creation unit 24 may create content including the video captured by the imaging unit 207. In another example, the content creation unit 24 may create content based on the content materials stored in the auxiliary storage unit 203.

[0056] The content creation unit 24 transmits content data indicating the content to the server 10. For example, the content creation unit 24 performs live distribution by continuously distributing the content. In one example, the content creation unit 24 continuously transmits the content data indicating the created content to the server 10. The server 10 receives the content data.

[0057] The content transfer unit 12 of the server 10 transmits content data to the viewer terminal 30. For example, when a viewer accesses the title creation system 1 using the viewer terminal 30, the titles of the respective contents are displayed on the viewer terminal 30. The viewer checks information such as the title and selects the content to be viewed. In response to the selection of the content to be viewed, the viewer terminal 30 transmits a content request to the server 10. For example, the content transfer unit 12 transmits content data to the viewer terminal 30 in response to the content request from the viewer terminal 30. The content request is a data signal for requesting the server 10 to play the content. The viewer terminal 30 receives the content data.

[0058] The content display unit 25 of the distributor terminal 20 displays the content created by the content creation unit 24 on the screen. The content display unit 31 of the viewer terminal 30 processes the content data and displays the content on the screen. When the content includes audio, the content display unit 25 and the content display unit 31 can output the audio included in the content from the speaker.

[0059] As described above, the title creation system 1 according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes at least one processor. The at least one processor acquires distributor information, which is information about the content distributor, and content information, which is information about the content, before the distribution of the content is started, creates a title of the content using the distributor information and the content information, and causes the title to be displayed on the distributor terminal, which is the distributor's terminal.

[0060] The title creation method according to one aspect of the present disclosure is executed by a title creation system 1 including at least one processor. The title creation method includes steps of obtaining distributor information which is information about a content distributor and content information which is information about the content before the distribution of the content is started, creating a title of the content using the distributor information and the content information, and causing the title to be displayed on a distributor terminal which is a terminal of the distributor.

[0061] The title creation program according to one aspect of the present disclosure causes a computer to execute steps of obtaining distributor information which is information about a content distributor and content information which is information about the content before the distribution of the content is started, creating a title of the content using the distributor information and the content information, and causing the title to be displayed on a distributor terminal which is a terminal of the distributor.

[0062] According to the present disclosure, before the distribution of the content is started, a title of the content is created using the distributor information and the content information, and the title is displayed on the distributor terminal. Thereby, it is possible to automatically propose a title of the content while suppressing the labor of the distributor.

[0063] The distributor information includes a distribution history of past distributions. At least one processor creates a title using text corresponding to the distribution history. In this case, the text corresponding to the distribution history is reflected in the title. That is, it becomes possible to reflect the experience of the distributor in the title. Thereby, it is possible to further increase the amount of information obtained from the title for viewers of the content.

[0064] The distributor information includes a nickname of the distributor. At least one processor creates a title using the nickname. In this case, the nickname of the distributor is reflected in the title. Thereby, it is possible to further increase the amount of information obtained from the title for viewers of the content.

[0065] The content information includes the category of the content. At least one processor creates a title using the text corresponding to the category. In this case, the category of the content is reflected in the title. Thereby, the amount of information obtained from the title can be further increased for the viewers of the content.

[0066] At least one processor, in response to the content information being changed, re-creates a title using the distributor information and the changed content information, and displays the re-created title on the distributor terminal. In this case, in response to the change in the content information, the changed content information is reflected in the title. That is, the title is automatically re-created as the content information changes. Thereby, it is possible to automatically propose a more appropriate title while suppressing the effort of the distributor.

[0067] At least one processor performs live distribution by continuously distributing the content. Live distribution is one example in which a title is set before the distribution of the content. The title creation system 1 of the present disclosure can be applied to a platform that performs live distribution.

[0068] [Modification Example] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments. In the implementation of the present disclosure, each component can be appropriately changed in its shape, arrangement, etc. without departing from the gist of the claims.

[0069] The distributor information may include at least one of the participation history in the event, the participation result in the event, the community scale, and the degree of attention. The title creation unit 22 may create a title using at least one of the participation history in the event, the participation result in the event, and the community scale. In one example, assume that the distributor has a participation history of participating in a specific event X. In this case, the title creation unit 22 may add text such as "Event X Participant" corresponding to the participation history to the title. In another example, assume that the distributor has an experience of winning a specific event X. In this case, the title creation unit 22 may add text such as "Event X Winner" corresponding to the participation result to the title. In yet another example, assume that the distributor belongs to a small-scale community. In this case, the title creation unit 22 may add text such as "Welcome to the Sparsely Populated Area" corresponding to the community scale to the title. In still another example, assume that the distributor has a high degree of attention in the most recent one month. "Having a high degree of attention" may mean whether the degree of attention exceeds a predetermined threshold, or whether the degree of attention is within the top n among multiple distributors, etc. The title creation unit 22 may add text such as "Rapid Rise" corresponding to the degree of attention to the title.

[0070] The content information may include at least one of the distribution mode, the program tag, and the description text. The content creation unit 24 may create a title using at least one of the distribution mode, the program tag, and the description text. In one example, assume that the distribution mode is "camera distribution". In this case, the title creation unit 22 may add text such as "Showing Face" corresponding to the distribution mode to the title. In another example, assume that the program tag assigned to the content of the game live broadcast is "Remake". In this case, the title creation unit 22 may add text such as "Remake" corresponding to the program tag to the title. In yet another example, the title creation unit 22 may add text corresponding to a part or all of the description text to the title.

[0071] The title creation system may be applied to a platform that determines the content to be distributed at the start of distribution. For example, the title creation system may be applied to a platform that selects the game to be distributed at the start of a game live stream. In this case, the title creation unit 22 may add text corresponding to the game selected by the distributor to the title.

[0072] The content information may include a thumbnail image. The title creation unit 22 may analyze the thumbnail image using AI (Artificial Intelligence) or the like and create a title using the analysis result. In one example, the thumbnail image may include an avatar. In this case, the title creation unit 22 may obtain an analysis result that there is an avatar in the thumbnail image. The title creation unit 22 may add text such as "Vtuber" corresponding to the analysis result to the title.

[0073] The title creation unit 22 may create a title using statistical information on the relationship between the title and the number of viewers. For example, the database 40 may store in association with each other some keywords of the titles used in past distributions and the number of viewers. In one example, the acquisition units 11 and 21 may acquire a correlation such as a tendency for the number of viewers to increase when a specific keyword is included in the title. That is, the acquisition units 11 and 21 may extract a specific keyword having a tendency for the number of viewers to increase. The title creation unit 22 may add a specific keyword to the title based on the correlation. The title display unit 23 may display a title including a specific keyword on the screen of the distributor terminal 20. In this case, a specific keyword having a tendency for the number of viewers to increase is reflected in the title. In another example, the acquisition units 11 and 21 may extract a specific keyword having a tendency for the number of viewers to decrease. The title display unit 23 may display on the screen of the distributor terminal 20 a specific keyword having a tendency for the number of viewers to increase or a tendency for the number of viewers to decrease. In this case, the keywords used when setting the title are automatically selected. Thereby, the convenience for the distributor is improved.

[0074] The title creation unit 22 may create a title using generative AI. The generative AI may take the distributor information, content information, etc. as input and output a title. The title creation unit 22 may use, as the generative AI, for example, a general-purpose chatbot constructed based on a large language model. In one example, the title creation unit 22 may take the distributor information, content information, and an instruction text as input and output a title. The instruction text may be, for example, "Based on this information, please generate an appropriate title within 〇 characters that can attract more viewers." etc. The training data of the large language model may be, for example, statistical information or human feedback regarding the relationship between the number of viewers or comments of past broadcasts and the title. The large language model may be a model trained to output a title that tends to increase the number of viewers by performing supervised learning or reinforcement learning using such training data.

[0075] The title creation unit 22 may change the title during the distribution of the content. For example, the title creation unit 22 may analyze at least a part of the video, audio, and comments of the already distributed content during the distribution of the content and change the title. That is, the title creation unit 22 may change the title during the distribution based on the distribution content from the start of the content distribution to a predetermined point in time. In this case, the title is changed along with the distributed content during the distribution of the content. Thereby, it is possible to automatically propose a more appropriate title while suppressing the effort of the distributor.

[0076] The title creation system may be applied to a platform that performs on-demand distribution. For example, the title creation system may be applied to a platform that performs on-demand distribution of content showing video or audio. The title creation unit 22 may analyze the uploaded content by AI and create a title using the analysis result.

[0077] The title creation unit 22 may create a plurality of title candidates. The title display unit 23 may display the plurality of title candidates on the screen of the distributor terminal 20. The title display unit 23 may accept the selection of a title candidate by the distributor.
