[0017] [Figure 1] 1 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a content distribution system according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is an activity diagram of the content distribution system according to the present embodiment. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of information processing in the content distribution system according to the present embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] A content delivery system 1 according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 are diagrams showing the content delivery system 1 according to this embodiment. Of these, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the content delivery system 1 according to this embodiment. FIG. 2 is an activity diagram of the content delivery system according to this embodiment. FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of information processing in the content delivery system 1 according to this embodiment.

[0019] -Content distribution system 1- FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a content delivery system 1 according to this embodiment. The content delivery system 1 according to this embodiment includes a content delivery computer 10, an object storage computer 20, and a user terminal 30. For example, the content delivery computer 10 is communicably connected to the user terminal 30. The content delivery computer 10 and the user terminal 30 may also be communicably connected to each other via a communication network such as the Internet. Each component of this content delivery system 1 is described below. Here, "content" refers to a recognizable display represented by information including at least one of images, video, and audio.

[0020] <Configuration of Content Distribution Computer 10> The content distribution computer 10 is a management server that can be used over a communications network such as the Internet. The content distribution computer 10 may be provided as a virtual dedicated server built within a physical server accessible over the Internet. The content distribution computer 10 includes a first storage unit 11, a first control unit 12, and a first communication unit 13. The first control unit 12 is configured as a microcomputer including a CPU and semiconductor memory, and controls the operation of the content distribution computer 10. More specifically, the first control unit 12 executes programs stored in the first storage unit 11 to function as a content providing unit 121, an object selling unit 122, an object submission accepting unit 123, and a first object information transmitting unit 124, thereby enabling the content distribution computer 10 to fulfill its functions.

[0021] The content providing means 121 provides content corresponding to predetermined content identification information. To provide the content, the content providing means 121 transmits content information including at least one of images, videos, and audio to the user terminal 30. The predetermined content identification information is information such as an identification ID or tag, and is information that can identify each piece of content. The content providing means 121 also transmits an instruction signal to the user terminal 30 to cause the display unit to display a posting screen area in which the user can post objects.

[0022] When the object selling means 122 receives an instruction to purchase an object from the user terminal 30, it sells the object by transmitting information about the purchased object to the user terminal 30. When the object is sold by the object selling means 122, the object transitions to a state in which it can be posted via the user terminal 30. Here, the object sold by the object selling means 122 can be purchased by the user terminal 30 when an action related to content provided by the content providing means 121 is being executed on the user terminal 30, as well as before and after content distribution.

[0023] When an object is posted by the user terminal 30 in content provided by the content providing means 121 before or after the sale of an object by the object selling means 122, during content distribution, or before or after content distribution, the object posting accepting means 123 accepts information from the user terminal 30 that an object has been posted. Here, the object means currency given to a content implementer, provider, etc. For example, posting of an object means so-called tipping, which is done online, and means the sale or granting of an object by sending information about the purchased or granted object to the user terminal 30 based on an instruction regarding the purchase or granting of the accepted object.

[0024] The first object information transmitting means 124 links the content identification information to the object information relating to the object accepted by the object posting accepting means 123. Furthermore, the first object information transmitting means 124 transmits the object information linked to the content identification information to the object storage computer 20.

[0025] <Configuration of Object Storage Computer 20> The object storage computer 20 is a management server that can be used over a communications network such as the Internet. The object storage computer 20 may be provided as a virtual dedicated server built within a physical server accessible over the Internet. The object storage computer 20 has a second storage unit 21, a second control unit 22, and a second communication unit 23. The second control unit 22 is configured as a microcomputer including a CPU and semiconductor memory, and controls the operation of the object storage computer 20. More specifically, the second control unit 22 executes programs stored in the second storage unit 21 to function as NFT means 221, object storage means 222, and second object information transmission means 223, thereby enabling the functions of the object storage computer 20 to be fulfilled.

[0026] The NFT conversion means 221 converts object information transmitted from the content distribution computer 10 into an NFT (Non-fungible Token). The NFT conversion means 221 also acquires the NFT information of the object. Here, the NFT information refers to information including at least one of the object's title, description, and object's media data.

[0027] The object storage means 222 stores the object information in the second storage unit 21 in association with the content identification information.

[0028] The second object information transmitting means 223 transmits the object information linked to the content identification information to the content distribution computer 10, the user terminal 30, and the like.

[0029] The programs executed by the first control unit 12 and the second control unit 22 are not limited to those stored in the first storage unit 11 and the second storage unit 21. The programs executed by the first control unit 12 and the second control unit 22 may be those transmitted from an external device to the first control unit 12 and the second control unit 22 via the first communication unit 13 and the second communication unit 23, those stored in a storage medium such as a USB memory, or those stored in a computer (for example, a cloud server) other than the content distribution computer 10 and the object storage computer 20.

[0030] The first storage unit 11 and the second storage unit 21 are configured with a hard disk drive (HDD), a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), or a solid state drive (SSD), etc. The first storage unit 11 and the second storage unit 21 store various programs including programs executed by the first control unit 12 and the second control unit 22, respectively. Here, the first storage unit 11 stores content information. The second storage unit 21 stores object information and a correspondence table. Here, object information means information that defines recognizable objects such as icons, illustrations, marks, sounds, etc.

[0031] The first communication unit 13 and the second communication unit 23 are, for example, a wired LAN (Local Area Network) module, a wireless LAN module, or the like, and include an interface for wired or wireless communication. That is, the first communication unit 13 and the second communication unit 23 are configured as communication interfaces configured to communicate with other devices via a communication network. The first communication unit 13 and the second communication unit 23 also transmit a display instruction signal to the user terminal 30 to cause the output information to be displayed on the user terminal 30. The user terminal 30 includes a display unit that displays the received display instruction signal. The user terminal 30 also sends a viewing request instruction to the content distribution computer 10 to transition the content to a viewable state.

[0032] Next, we will explain the flow of information processing in the content distribution system 1. The operations of the content distribution system 1 described below are performed by the first control unit 12 and the second control unit 22 in the content distribution computer 10 and the object storage computer 20 executing programs stored in the first storage unit 11 and the second storage unit 21, respectively.

[0033] First, predetermined content identification information defining one or more pieces of content is stored in the first storage unit 11 of the content distribution computer 10. Also, object information defining one or more objects and a correspondence table are stored in the second storage unit 21 of the object storage computer 20.

[0034] Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when an instruction to view content information is received from the user terminal 30, the content providing means 121 sends the content information to the user terminal 30 based on the content information (step S10).

[0035] When a user views content defined by the content information sent to the user terminal 30, the content is displayed on the user terminal 30 based on the viewing preference instruction in the content information. Also, a posting screen area in which the user can post objects is displayed on the user terminal 30 based on an instruction signal for displaying on the display unit a posting screen area in which the user can post objects.

[0036] When a user views content displayed on user terminal 30, the user purchases an object displayed in the object posting screen area. When the object is purchased and posted by user terminal 30, object posting receiving means 123 receives information from user terminal 30 that the object has been posted (step S20). At this time, if the object is sold by object selling means 122, the object transitions to a state in which it can be posted via user terminal 30.

[0037] Next, first object information transmitting means 124 links the content identification information to the object information related to the object accepted by object posting accepting means 123 (step S30). Furthermore, first object information transmitting means 124 transmits the object information linked to the content identification information to object storage computer 20 (step S40).

[0038] The object information sent to the object storage computer 20 is converted into an NFT by the NFT conversion means 221, and the NFT information of the object is obtained (step S50). The NFTed object information is linked to the content identification information by the object storage means 222 and stored in the second storage unit 21.

[0039] The object information stored in the second storage unit 21 in this manner is transmitted to each component by the second object information transmitting means 223. For example, as shown in block A of Fig. 2, when login to the object storage computer 20 from the user terminal 30 is confirmed, the object information linked to the content identification information is transmitted to the content distribution computer 10 by the second object information transmitting means 223 using information indicating that the login has been confirmed (login information) as a trigger.

[0040] According to the content distribution system 1, program, and information processing method of this embodiment configured as described above, the content distribution system 1 is a content distribution system 1 including a content distribution computer 10 and an object storage computer 20, wherein the content distribution computer 10 has a content providing means 121 that provides content corresponding to predetermined content identification information by sending content information including at least one of images, videos, and audio to a user terminal 30, an object posting accepting means 123 that, when an object is posted by the user terminal 30 in the content provided by the content providing means 121, accepts information from the user terminal 30 that an object has been posted, and an object information sending means 124 that links the content identification information to the object information related to the object accepted by the object posting accepting means 123 and sends the object information to the object storage computer 20, and the object storage computer 20 has a memory unit 21 and object storage means 222 that links the object information to the content identification information and stores it in the memory unit 21. More specifically, recent live video distribution technologies allow viewers to take actions such as adding comments or providing objects (items) to the performers or uploaders of a video to express their appreciation for the video or support the uploader. In particular, providing objects from viewers to performers or uploaders of a video is called "tipping," modeled after the donations from spectators to street performers. Conventional video distribution systems that allow viewers to provide objects to performers in a video do not provide compensation to viewers who post objects for providing the objects to performers in the video. Therefore, the above-described configuration allows viewers who post objects to be compensated for providing objects to performers of content, including videos, thereby increasing viewers' motivation to provide objects.

[0041] Furthermore, as described above, the content distribution system 1 according to this embodiment may further include NFT conversion means 221 that converts object information transmitted from the content distribution computer 10 into NFT and acquires the NFT information of the object. In this case, uniqueness can be imparted to the object information.

[0042] Furthermore, in the content distribution system 1 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the NFT information of an object stored in the storage unit 21 may include at least one of a title, a description, and media data of the object. In this case, the NFT information can be clarified.

[0043] Furthermore, in the content distribution system 1 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the content distribution computer 10 further includes object selling means 122 that, upon receiving an instruction to purchase an object from the user terminal 30, sells the object by transmitting information about the purchased object to the user terminal 30, and the object sold by the object selling means 122 may be able to be posted in the content provided by the content providing means 121. In this case, the user can post the object to the content via the user terminal 30.

[0044] Furthermore, in the content distribution system 1 according to this embodiment, as described above, the object sold by the object selling means 122 may be available for purchase by the user terminal 30 when an action related to the content provided by the content providing means 121 is being executed by the user terminal 30. In this case, the object can be purchased at a predetermined timing by the user terminal 30.

[0045] Furthermore, in the content distribution system 1 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the object storage computer 20 may further include authentication means 224 that, when object information relating to an object is transmitted from an external device, transmits content identification information corresponding to the object information to the external device based on the correspondence stored in the storage unit 21. In this case, the authentication means 224 can determine the appropriateness of the external device.

[0046] Furthermore, as described above, the content distribution system 1 according to this embodiment is a content distribution system 1 including a content distribution computer 10 and an object storage computer 20, in which the content distribution computer 10 has content providing means 121 that provides content corresponding to predetermined content identification information by transmitting content information including at least one of images, videos, and audio to a user terminal 30, object posting accepting means 123 that, when an object is posted by the user terminal 30 in the content provided by the content providing means 121, accepts information from the user terminal 30 that an object has been posted, and object information sending means 124 that links the content identification information to the object information related to the object accepted by the object posting accepting means 123 and sends the object information to the object storage computer 20. In this case, it becomes possible to send object information to the object storage computer 20 linked with the content identification information.

[0047] Furthermore, the program according to this embodiment is a program that causes a computer to function as content providing means 121, object posting accepting means 123, object information transmitting means 124, and object storage means 222, wherein the content providing means 121 provides content corresponding to predetermined content identification information by transmitting content information including at least one of an image, a video, and an audio to the user terminal 30, the object posting accepting means 123 accepts information from the user terminal 30 that an object has been posted when the user terminal 30 posts an object in the content provided by the content providing means 121, the object information transmitting means 124 links the content identification information to the object information regarding the object accepted by the object posting accepting means 123 and transmits the information to the object storage computer 20, and the object storage means 222 links the object information to the content identification information and stores the information in the memory unit 21. In this case, by executing the program, the computer can function as content providing means 121, object posting accepting means 123, object information sending means 124, and object storage means 222, and the object information can be linked to content identification information and sent to object storage computer 20, and the object information can be stored in object storage computer 20.

[0048] Furthermore, an information processing method according to this embodiment is an information processing method executed by a content distribution system 1 including a content distribution computer 10 and an object storage computer 20, and includes the steps of: the content distribution computer 10 providing content corresponding to predetermined content identification information by transmitting content information including at least one of an image, a video, and an audio to a user terminal 30; the content distribution computer 10 receiving, when an object is posted by the user terminal 30 in the content to be provided, information that the object has been posted from the user terminal 30; the content distribution computer 10 associating the content identification information with the object information related to the received object and transmitting the object information to the object storage computer 20; and the object storage computer 20 associating the object information with the content identification information and storing it in the storage unit 21. In this case, the content distribution system 1 can be executed by going through each of the steps.

[0049] The content distribution system 1, the program, and the information processing method according to the present disclosure are not limited to the above-described aspects, and various modifications can be made.

[0050] For example, as shown in block B of FIG. 2, in the content distribution system 1 according to the present embodiment, when a user transmits purchase request information for a specific ticket related to content from the user terminal 30 to the content distribution computer 10, the second object information transmitting means 223 may transmit object information linked to the content identification information to the content distribution computer 10, triggered by the content distribution computer 10 receiving the ticket purchase request information. As a result, the content distribution computer 10 can transmit discounted ticket information available for purchase to the user terminal 30, triggered by the reception of the object information. Here, the ticket discount may be determined based on the amount of NFTed object information stored in the object storage computer 20.

[0051] Furthermore, the content distribution system 1 according to this embodiment may further include another server. For example, the other server may be a server (fan club server) 40 of a fan club related to the content. In this case, the object information stored in the second storage unit 21 of the object storage computer 20 is transmitted to the fan club server 40, as shown in block C of FIG. 2. Furthermore, when login to the fan club server 40 from the user terminal 30 is confirmed, the information confirming the login serves as a trigger for transmitting the object information to the user terminal 30.

[0052] Furthermore, the content distribution system 1 according to this embodiment may further include another external service 50 (for example, a server running a voice / video / text communication service). In this case, the second control unit 22 of the object storage computer 20 may further include authentication means 224. For example, as shown in block D of FIG. 2 , the authentication means 224 performs authentication with the external service 50 to determine whether the external service can provide an appropriate external service. When the authentication means 224 authenticates that the external service 50 can provide an appropriate external service, the external service 50 is permitted to access the user terminal 30. For example, when access information from the user terminal 30 is sent to the external service 50, the external service 50 sends information requesting authentication permission to the object storage computer 20. When the authentication means 224 receives information requesting authentication permission from the external service 50, the authentication means 224 performs authentication to determine whether the external service 50 can provide an appropriate external service. If the authentication means 224 determines that the external service 50 can provide an appropriate external service, it sends authentication permission information to the external service 50. The external service 50, having received the authentication permission information, is permitted to access the user terminal 30. On the other hand, if the authentication means 224 determines that the external service 50 is not capable of providing an appropriate external service, the authentication means 224 sends authentication denial information to the external service 50 .

[0053] Furthermore, in the content delivery system 1 according to the present embodiment, the object selling means 122 sells the object by transmitting information about the purchased object to the user terminal 30 when it receives an instruction to purchase an object from the user terminal 30, but this is not limiting. For example, the content delivery system 1 may further include object granting means that grants the object by transmitting information about the granted object to the user terminal 30 when it receives an instruction to grant an object free of charge from the user terminal 30, and the object granted by the object granting means may be posted in content provided by the content providing means. In this case, the user can post the object granted free of charge to the content via the user terminal 30. [Explanation of symbols]
