DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0026] First, an overview of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0027] The information processing system in the present disclosure is an information processing system that distributes moving images including animations of character objects generated based on movements of a broadcasting user, and includes one or more computer processors.

[0028] <System configuration> As shown as an example in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1000 according to the present disclosure may include one or more viewing user terminals 1100, and an information processing device (support computer) 1300 located in a video distribution studio or the like, which is connected to these viewing user terminals 1100 via a network 1200.

[0029] Moreover, the information processing device 1300 may be connected to a server device 1400 (not shown) via the Internet, and a part or all of the processing to be performed by the information processing device 1300 may be performed by the server device 1400. The server device 1400 may be the information processing device 400 shown in FIG.

[0030] In this specification, such distribution by the information processing system 1000 is referred to as studio distribution.

[0031] In studio streaming, the entire body movements of the streaming user (actor) are captured by a camera installed in the studio using markers attached to the streaming user, and are reflected in the character in real time using known motion capture technology.

[0032] Furthermore, the information processing system 1000 of the present invention can cooperate with another information processing system 2000 shown as an example in Fig. 2. The information processing system 2000 shown in Fig. 2 can include a broadcast user terminal 100, one or more viewer user terminals 200, and an information processing device (server device) 400 connected to the broadcast user terminal 100 and the viewer user terminal 200 via a network 300.

[0033] In the above example, the broadcast user terminal 100 may be an information processing terminal such as a smartphone. In this specification, the broadcast by the information processing system 2000 is referred to as mobile broadcast.

[0034] In mobile distribution, the broadcast user's facial movements are captured by a camera equipped in the broadcast user terminal 100, and are reflected on the character's face in real time using known face tracking technology.

[0035] The moving images generated by the information processing system 1000 and the information processing system 2000 can be distributed to viewing users from one moving image distribution platform, for example.

[0036] In addition, there is no particular distinction between distributor users and viewing users in mobile distribution; viewing users can perform mobile distribution at any time, and distributor users can become viewing users when viewing videos of other distributor users.

[0037] In addition, in any broadcast, the process of generating animation by reflecting motion on a character and the process of displaying gifts, which will be described later, may be shared and performed by the broadcasting user terminal, the viewing user terminal, an information processing device, and other devices.

[0038] Specifically, facial motion data and voice data of the broadcast user are transmitted from the broadcast user terminal to a terminal or device that generates animation of the character object. Also, body motion may be transmitted in addition to the facial motion.

[0039] In the following description, the process of generating animation is assumed to be performed by each of the broadcaster user terminal and the viewer user terminal, but this is not limited to the present invention.

[0040] In the following description, the information processing system according to the present disclosure will be described as having the system configuration (mobile distribution) shown in FIG. 2, but may have the system configuration shown in FIG.

[0041] <Hardware configuration> 3, a hardware configuration of an information processing device 400 included in the information processing system 2000 will be described. The information processing device 400 includes a processor 401, a memory 402, a storage 403, an input / output interface (input / output I / F) 404, and a communication interface (communication I / F) 405. The components are connected to each other via a bus B.

[0042] The information processing device 400 can realize the functions and methods described in this embodiment through cooperation between a processor 401, a memory 402, a storage 403, an input / output I / F 404, and a communication I / F 405.

[0043] The processor 401 executes functions and / or methods realized by codes or instructions included in a program stored in the storage 403. The processor 401 includes, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a micro processing unit (MPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a microprocessor, a processor core, a multiprocessor, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), etc., and may realize each process disclosed in each embodiment by a logic circuit (hardware) or a dedicated circuit formed in an integrated circuit (an integrated circuit (IC) chip, a large scale integration (LSI)), etc.). These circuits may be realized by one or more integrated circuits, and a plurality of processes shown in each embodiment may be realized by one integrated circuit. An LSI may also be called a VLSI, a super LSI, an ultra LSI, etc., depending on the degree of integration.

[0044] The memory 402 temporarily stores a program loaded from the storage 403 and provides a working area for the processor 401. The memory 402 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 401 is executing the program. The memory 402 includes, for example, a random access memory (RAM) and a read only memory (ROM).

[0045] The storage 403 stores programs. The storage 403 includes, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a flash memory, and the like.

[0046] The communication I / F 405 is implemented as hardware such as a network adapter, communication software, or a combination of these, and transmits and receives various data via the network 300. The communication may be performed either wired or wirelessly, and any communication protocol may be used as long as the communication between the two devices can be performed. The communication I / F 405 communicates with other information processing devices via the network 300. The communication I / F 405 transmits various data to the other information processing devices according to instructions from the processor 401. The communication I / F 405 also receives various data transmitted from the other information processing devices and transmits it to the processor 401.

[0047] The input / output I / F 404 includes an input device for inputting various operations to the information processing device 400, and an output device for outputting processing results processed by the information processing device 400. The input / output I / F 404 may be an integrated input device and an output device, or may be separate input device and output device.

[0048] The input device is realized by any one or a combination of all kinds of devices that can receive input from a user and transmit information related to the input to the processor 401. The input device includes, for example, a touch panel, a touch display, hardware keys such as a keyboard, a pointing device such as a mouse, a camera (operation input via an image), and a microphone (operation input by voice).

[0049] The output device outputs the processing results processed by the processor 401. The output device includes, for example, a touch panel, a speaker, etc. Note that, except where noted otherwise, the information processing device 1300, the information processing device 1400, the viewing user terminal 1100, the broadcasting user terminal 100, and the viewing user terminal 200 can also be configured with the same hardware configuration as in Fig. 3.

[0050] <Functional configuration> The one or more computer processors (information processing device 400 in this example) include a delivery unit 410, a reception unit 420, an object display unit 430, a determination unit 440, and a representation unit 450, as shown in FIG.

[0051] The distribution unit 410 distributes information about the video including animation of the broadcasting user's character object to the viewing user terminal 200. Information about the video including animation of the broadcasting user's character object includes, for example, motion information showing the movement of the character object, voice information of the broadcasting user, and gift object information showing gifts sent from other viewing users. The gift object information includes at least gift object identification information that specifies the type of gift object, and position information that indicates the position where the gift object is displayed.

[0052] As an example, the distribution unit 410 can live-stream videos via the video distribution platform described above.

[0053] FIG. 5 shows a top screen 201 displayed on the viewer user terminal 200 of the viewer user who has accessed the video distribution platform.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 5, a viewing user can select one distribution channel from one or more distribution channels 202 listed on a top screen 201, and thereby view a video being played on the selected distribution channel.

[0055] Alternatively, a viewing user can view a video being played on a specific distribution channel by accessing a fixed link of the specific distribution channel. Such a fixed link can be obtained from a notification from a distribution user being followed, or a share notification sent by another user.

[0056] 5, a display field 203 for announcements such as campaigns and events may be displayed on the top screen 201. This announcement display field 203 can be switched to display other announcements by a sliding operation.

[0057] In addition, the above video distribution platform allows you to display a list of distribution channels currently being distributed and a list of distribution channels scheduled to be distributed separately using tabs (Currently Being Streamed / Video List). As an example, Figure 5 shows a list of distribution channels currently being distributed.

[0058] It should be noted that the viewing user can view a video by selecting one distribution channel on the top screen 201, but by selecting distribution button 204, the viewing user can also become a distribution user who distributes videos by himself.

[0059] FIG. 6 is an example showing a screen 205 of a distributed video displayed on a viewing user's terminal. The viewing user can post a comment by inputting text in a comment posting field 206 and pressing a send button 207. Furthermore, by pressing a gift button 208, a list of gifts is displayed to the viewing user, and the viewing user can select and give a specified gift. Furthermore, the viewing user can post a rating showing a favorable impression by pressing a like button 209. Note that pressing a button includes selecting a button displayed on the screen by tapping or the like.

[0060] Additionally, on the screen of a video distributed by a distributor user whom the viewing user is not yet following, a follow button 216 is displayed, which allows the viewing user to follow the distributor user. This follow button functions as an unfollow button on the screen of a video distributed by a distributor user whom the viewing user is already following.

[0061] Note that this "following" may be from viewing user to viewing user, from broadcasting user to viewing user, or from broadcasting user to broadcasting user. However, following is managed as a one-way association, and associations in the opposite direction are managed separately as followers.

[0062] In addition, regarding sharing of videos, the viewing user can press the share button 211 to check a list of SNS (social networking services) on which the video can be shared, and by selecting it, can send a fixed link to a specified location on a specified SNS.

[0063] Regarding still images, the viewing user can save a still image of the screen by pressing the screenshot button 212. In addition, pressing the screenshot button 212 displays a list of SNSs to which the still image can be shared, and the viewing user can send the still image to a specified location on a specified SNS by selection.

[0064] In addition, a collaboration distribution can be requested from the distributor user by pressing collaboration button 213. Collaboration distribution refers to having a character object of the viewing user appear in the distribution video of the distributor user.

[0065] The viewing end request can be transmitted by pressing viewing end button 214 shown in FIG.

[0066] Then, the receiving unit 420 receives a display request for a specific gift transmitted from the viewing user terminal 200. As described above, the display request may include gift object information. The gift object information includes at least gift object identification information for identifying the type of the gift object, and position information for indicating the position where the gift object is to be displayed.

[0067] In response to the display request received by the receiving unit 420, the object display unit 430 displays a specific gift object corresponding to a specific gift in the video.

[0068] As an example, it is assumed that a specific gift is selected by the viewing user from a list of gifts displayed on the viewing user terminal 200 by pressing the gift button 208, and a display request is made.

[0069] Fig. 7 shows an example of a screen 215 showing a list of gifts displayed on the viewing user terminal 200. As shown in Fig. 7, gifts can be displayed by classification (free gifts, paid gifts, accessories, support goods, appeals, variety, etc.).

[0070] Here, a paid gift is a gift that can be purchased by spending My Coins purchased by the viewing user, and a free gift is a gift that can be obtained by the viewing user with or without spending My Points obtained for free.

[0071] The specific gift is a gift associated with a target object, which will be described later. The specific gift object corresponding to the specific gift may be, for example, an object 801 such as an arrow or a ball that is projected toward the target object, as shown in FIG.

[0072] Then, the determination unit 440 determines whether or not the specific gift object is displayed as if it is in contact with a target object associated with the specific gift object, which is displayed in the video, a predetermined number of times.

[0073] The target object is an object associated with the specific gift described above. As an example, the target object may be an object such as a target (objects 802, 803, and 804 in the figure) onto which a specific gift object 801 is projected, as shown in Fig. 8. The target object may include an object 805 representing a platform on which the objects 802, 803, and 804 are placed.

[0074] A particular gift object is displayed as being in contact with a target object when, as shown in FIG. 9, the coordinates of the position where object 802 is displayed in the video match or are within a specified range of the coordinates of the position where object 803 is displayed.

[0075] Alternatively, the determination unit 440 may determine whether or not a collision has occurred due to a collider attached to a specific gift object and target object.

[0076] The predetermined number of times may be equal to or greater than 1. The predetermined number of times may be stored in association with the target object, and may be set to increase in accordance with the size, weight, and / or rarity of the target object.

[0077] Then, when the determination unit 440 determines that a specific gift object has come into contact with the target object a predetermined number of times, the expression unit 450 creates a special dramatic effect in the video.

[0078] Special effects may include playing special animations or sounds, displaying special objects, etc.

[0079] Specifically, when it is determined that the object 801, which is a ball, has come into contact with the object 802, which is the target, a predetermined number of times (here, once), a dramatic effect can be produced in which the object 802, which is the target, falls, the confetti objects 806 scatter, and the object 802 as the target disappears, as shown in Fig. 10. Note that the special dramatic effects described here are merely examples, and at least one of these may be produced.

[0080] According to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a technical improvement that solves or alleviates at least a part of the problems of the conventional technology described above. Specifically, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to increase the motivation of viewing users to give gifts.

[0081] Furthermore, according to the above configuration, by adding variety to the display of gifts, it is possible to increase the interest of gifting and to enhance the motivation of viewing users to give gifts.

[0082] In addition, when it is determined that the above-mentioned specific gift object has come into contact with the target object a predetermined number of times, a special production effect can be created within the video, providing an unexpected gifting experience to the viewing user and / or broadcasting user.

[0083] Furthermore, according to the present disclosure, new communication can be generated between viewing users and viewing users and / or between viewing users and distribution users to cause / not cause a specific gift object to come into contact with a target object a predetermined number of times.

[0084] In addition, according to the present disclosure, a broadcast user who receives a specific gift may be led to engage in various behaviors in an attempt to bring the specific gift object into contact with a target object a predetermined number of times, thereby creating variety in the content of the video.

[0085] Moreover, the one or more computer processors may further include a reward granting unit 460 as shown in FIG.

[0086] When the determination unit 440 determines that a specific gift object has come into contact with the target object a predetermined number of times, the reward granting unit 460 grants a special reward to the viewing user or broadcasting user who has made a request to display the specific gift.

[0087] The special reward may be the above-mentioned My Coins or My Points, or a wearable item that can be worn by a character object, etc. Alternatively, the special reward may be wallpaper, a gift, etc. that the viewing user or the broadcasting user can instruct to display in the video.

[0088] The object display unit 430 can change the display mode of the specific gift object every time the specific gift object comes into contact with the target object.

[0089] Specifically, when the specified number of times is 2 or more, each time a specific gift object comes into contact with a target object, the specific gift object can be tilted in the direction of falling or the display manner can be changed to make it appear as if it is being destroyed.

[0090] Also, a target object may include multiple target objects.

[0091] Then, the object display unit 430 changes the display mode of the target object by changing the display mode of the target object every time the specific gift object comes into contact with the target object.

[0092] 8, the target object 805 may include a plurality of target objects 802 to 804. Each time an object 801, which is a specific gift object, comes into contact with any one of the target objects 802 to 804, which is a target object 804, the display mode can be changed so as to knock down the target object 802 to 804.

[0093] The object display unit 430 can display the target object in the video when the reception unit 420 receives a display request for the target gift transmitted from the viewing user terminal.

[0094] That is, the target object is an object associated with the target gift.

[0095] The determination unit 440 can further determine whether or not a specific gift object has come into contact with a character object.

[0096] As shown in FIG. 12, when the above-mentioned target object is displayed behind the character object CO, a specific gift object may come into contact with the character object CO.

[0097] Then, when the determination unit 440 determines that a specific gift object has come into contact with the character object CO, the one or more computer processors can replace the action related to the facial expression of the character object CO with a default action.

[0098] Replacing the facial expression of the character object CO with a default action means replacing the facial expression of the character object CO, which has been expressing the facial expression of the broadcasting user using face tracking technology, with a default facial expression prepared in advance. Specifically, it is preferable to prepare a facial expression expressing a state of pain in advance.

[0099] In this way, because a specific gift object can come into contact with a character object, the broadcasting user can move the character object's face to avoid the specific gift object, and conversely, the viewing user can aim the specific gift object to hit the character object in order to enjoy the changes in the character object's facial expression, which can lead to communication between the two.

[0100] The object display section 430 can display a specific gift object so as to move from the foreground to the background of the video.

[0101] In addition, the direction in which a specific gift object moves is not limited to a direction perpendicular to the display screen, but also includes directions tilted at approximately 45 degrees up, down, left, or right from the perpendicular direction.

[0102] With this configuration, a viewing user who has requested the display of a specific gift can get the sensation that he or she is projecting the specific gift object toward the target object.

[0103] The receiving unit 420 further receives, from the viewing user terminal, an instruction as to the position at which to display the specific gift object, and the object display unit 430 can display the specific gift object according to the instruction as to the position received by the receiving unit 420.

[0104] The direction in which the specific gift object moves may be determined by an instruction from a viewing user. At this time, as shown in Fig. 8, a part of an object 807 for projecting the specific gift object, such as a gun or a bow, may be displayed, and a aiming object 808 and a direction 809 in which the ball object 801 flies may be displayed.

[0105] The receiving unit 420 can further receive, from the viewing user terminal, an instruction as to the timing for displaying a specific gift object.

[0106] Then, the object display unit 430 displays a specific gift object in response to the instruction at the timing received by the receiving unit 420.

[0107] Specifically, when an instruction to display a specific gift is given, initially only the projection object 807 is displayed, and then the specific gift object 801 can be projected from the projection object 807 according to a timing instruction from the viewing user terminal.

[0108] With this configuration, the viewing user who has requested the display of a specific gift can determine for himself or herself the timing at which the specific gift object is to be projected toward the target object.

[0109] In addition, the projection speed and flight distance of a specific gift object may also be changed according to the operation of the viewing user. As an example, the projection speed is controlled to be faster as the speed of the flick operation on the viewing user terminal by the viewing user is faster, and the flight distance is controlled to be longer as the distance of the flick operation is longer.

[0110] The receiving unit 420 may receive a timing instruction multiple times for one display request for a specific gift received by the receiving unit 420.

[0111] As an example, when a request to display a specific gift is made once, the projection object 807 is displayed, and the projection object may be configured to be capable of being projected any number of times while it is displayed, or may be configured to be capable of being projected only a set maximum number of times.

[0112] Then, the object display unit 430 changes the display mode of the target object by changing the display mode of the target object every time the specific gift object comes into contact with the target object.

[0113] In addition, the reward granting unit 460 may be configured to grant a special reward to a viewing user or a broadcasting user who has requested the display of a specific gift when the target objects include multiple target objects and the display positions of the multiple target objects that have come into contact with a specific gift object have a specific relationship.

[0114] As an example, if the target objects are displayed in a 3 x 3 square shape, and a specific gift object contacts a vertical or diagonal row of target objects, a special reward may be given to the viewing user who requested the display of a specific gift.

[0115] In addition, the reward granting unit 460 may be configured to grant a special reward to a viewing user or a broadcasting user who has made a request to display a specific gift when the target object includes multiple target objects and the attributes of the multiple target objects that a specific gift object comes into contact with have a specific relationship.

[0116] Specifically, the target object is given an identifiable attribute such as color, shape, pattern, etc. As an example, when the target object is a balloon object representing a balloon, the balloon object is given one of three color attributes, pink, light blue, and yellow, and a special reward may be given when the color attribute of the balloon object that a specific gift object comes into contact with is only pink.

[0117] Alternatively, a special reward may be given when a particular gift object comes into contact with a balloon object having a pink color attribute three times.

[0118] According to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a technical improvement that solves or alleviates at least a part of the problems of the conventional technology described above. Specifically, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to increase the motivation of viewing users to give gifts.

[0119] Furthermore, according to the above configuration, by adding variety to the display of gifts, it is possible to increase the interest of gifting and to enhance the motivation of viewing users to give gifts.

[0120] In addition, when it is determined that the above-mentioned specific gift object has come into contact with the target object a predetermined number of times, a special production effect can be created within the video, providing an unexpected gifting experience to the viewing user and / or broadcasting user.

[0121] Furthermore, according to the present disclosure, new communication can be generated between viewing users and viewing users and / or between viewing users and distribution users to cause / not cause a specific gift object to come into contact with a target object a predetermined number of times.

[0122] In addition, according to the present disclosure, a broadcast user who receives a specific gift may be led to engage in various behaviors in an attempt to bring the specific gift object into contact with a target object a predetermined number of times, thereby creating variety in the content of the video.
