Extract the game object to be controlled ("specific game object") from the Furthermore, the terminal device 10A of the distributor A can output the extracted specific game object. The control parameters related to the object may be calculated based on the received distribution status information. can.

[0137] The distribution status information received by terminal device 10A of distributor A in ST622 is It may include at least one of the following examples: Starting from the present, the latest information, and all cumulative information going back a specified period (for example, one week or one month) It can be either information related to the above or the best information. (a) Distribution activity information regarding distribution activities by Distributor A (including, for example, the following information): The distribution behavior information includes the distribution of the first video 410 and / or the second video 500. Information about the frequency of Follower A's broadcasts, information about the time period during which Broadcaster A broadcasts, etc. Here, the distribution frequency is the number of days of distribution within a predetermined period (for example, one week). the total number of days delivered within a certain period of time (for example, one week) Total broadcast time during the period, number of consecutive days of broadcast (3 days In the case of consecutive distribution, the number of consecutive days of distribution will be "3"). In the case of distribution on consecutive days, there are cases where distribution is made at different times and cases where distribution is made at the same time (for example, For example, if it is distributed every day between 9 PM and 10 PM (this is called regular distribution) Furthermore, the information about the delivery time period may include, for example, During the day, there are three time periods: 0:00-8:00, 8:00-16:00, and 16:00-24:00. It can also include information about the time period in which it was delivered. (b) Streamer status information about a streamer (e.g., Streamer A) (e.g., the following information) (including information) The distributor status information includes gift information and and / or information calculated based on comment information. For viewers who receive the first video 410 and / or the second video 500, Comment information transmitted from the terminal device 10 to the viewer's terminal device 10 (first transmission information ), and / or the terminal device 10 of the distributor A uses the server device 20 (distribution server device 20a) Gift information and / or comment information (received information) received from the viewer's terminal device 10 via ), calculated based on the number of gifts received (received), comments received (received) The number of times a streamer has streamed, the number of times a streamer has streamed, the number of times a streamer has sent a comment, etc. (streamer status information) It may be included in the status information. The broadcaster status information includes information about broadcaster A becoming a viewer in another situation (broadcaster A). There is a distributor B different from distributor A, and distributor A has a first video 410 and / or the viewer who watches the second video 500), the terminal device 1 of the distributor A 0A (in this case, the terminal device 10A of the distributor A becomes the terminal device 10 of the viewer) The gift information and / or comment information (second transmission information) is transmitted to the terminal device 10 of the user B. The number of times gifts have been given (sent) and the amount of money spent on gifts, calculated based on the information provided by the It may also include information such as the number of times a comment has been sent (status information of the distributor). The distributor status information includes the progress of the game by distributor A with respect to the second video 500. Game progress information can include game progress information in role-playing games, etc. Any rewards given to users according to the progress of the game, game score, or game progress (achievement) Titles (badges, levels, etc.), events and tournaments in sports games, fighting games, etc. This includes information on the streamer's battle record, etc. (This information is also the streamer's status information). The distributor status information includes the distribution of the first video 410 and / or the second video 500. Regarding the number of times you have collaborated with other streamers, the first streams currently being streamed and / or previously streamed The total number of viewers who watch (have watched) the video 410 and / or the second video 500, the number of viewers who have viewed the first video 410 and / or the second video 500; Rating information such as "Likes" from other users, etc. (This information is also the status information of the broadcaster) may also be included.

[0138] Furthermore, the terminal device 10A of the distributor A selects a target of control from among a plurality of game objects. In one embodiment, the web server device 20 B and / or the information table received from the server system 20A (the distribution server device 20a) etc. This information table corresponds to each game. In addition, which control parameters of each specific game object are controlled based on which distribution status information? How to perform calculations (mainly, but not limited to, increasing or decreasing) based on the The terminal device 10A of the distributor A can include calculation information indicating the currently executed By searching the information table using the game as a search key, at least one specific game can be found. Once the game object is identified, the control parameters associated with that particular game object are It is possible to identify how the data is calculated. identifies at least one specific game object related to the currently running game. Then, the distribution status information that is the premise for calculating the specific game object is identified in advance. The distribution server device 20a receives only the distribution status information. 20a to inquire about this.

[0139] Referring to FIG. 8, for example, in fighting game A (see FIG. 7), As a system object, the avatar of the broadcaster (in FIG. 7, the avatar 501 of broadcaster A) ) and ally characters are extracted. These are "attack power" and "defense power," and are control parameters related to ally characters. The "number of occurrences" is set in the information table for each of the broadcasters. Regarding A's distribution status information, if the number of consecutive days of distribution is "3" to "6", the distributor's avatar When the "attack power" becomes "doubled" and the number of consecutive days of streaming becomes "7 or more", the streamer's avatar "Attack power" is calculated so that it becomes "5 times".

[0140] Also, referring to FIG. 8, regarding the distribution status information of distributor A, the received gift (here, It may be related to the distribution of the first video 410 or the distribution of the second video 500. It may be a method for distributing both the first video 410 and the second video 500. When the cumulative total of allies (including the above) reaches 100 or more, one additional ally character will be added. Regarding the distribution status information of Streamer A, the cumulative total of the gifts received as mentioned above will be Instead of (or in addition to) the number of gifts, the cumulative value of the gifts received may be used. In this case, "value" refers to points or purchase amounts that are pre-assigned to each gift. Therefore, the "cumulative value of gifts received" is the total value of the gifts received. It refers to the cumulative total of points and purchase amounts earned.

[0141] Furthermore, referring to FIG. 8, regarding the distribution status information of distributor A, the received comments ( Here, it may be about the distribution of the first video 410 or the second video 500. It may be about distribution, or about distribution of both the first video 410 and the second video 500. When the cumulative total of allies (including those related to Faith) reaches 500 or more, One additional character will be added (granted). Regarding the distribution status information of Streamer A, Instead of (or in addition to) the cumulative total number of comments, The total number of specific keywords used, the total number of characters in comments received, etc. may be used. In this case, a specific keyword is pre-entered to the server system 20A or the terminal device 10A of the distributor A. By registering the specific information, the server system 20A or the terminal device 10A of the distributor A can You can manage keywords.

[0142] In addition, regarding the distribution status information of Streamer A, instead of the cumulative total number of comments received as mentioned above, ( or the cumulative total number of comments) to classify certain text information, such as "positive", "neutral", Using a machine-learned computer program that can classify the results into one of two categories: "negative" and "positive." The total number of comments that are classified as "positive" among the received comments is displayed in the distribution status. In this case, the machine-learned program may be used as information. 20A or the terminal device 10A of the distributor A. Regarding information, the number of characters in the body of the comment received or distributed is used as distribution status information. In this case, the large number of characters in the comment body is a sign of dissatisfaction with distributor A or distributor A. This could mean that there is an audience that is keen for a second video distributed by.

[0143] In FIG. 7, the two conditions for gifts and comments mentioned above (e.g., The total number of gifts received is 100 or more, and the total number of comments received is 500 or more. The above condition is met, and two friendly characters 503 and 504 are displayed in the game. An ally character is a character who is an ally of the streamer's avatar and fights against enemy characters 502. It refers to characters who fight (combat).

[0144] In addition, the aforementioned "attack power" becoming "2x" or "5x" means that in Figure 7, When the distributor's avatar 501 attacks the enemy character 502, This means that the energy gauge 520 is reduced by two or five times compared to normal. As shown in Figure 7, when the "defensive power" becomes "doubled" or "quintuple-folded," When the follower's avatar 501 is attacked by the enemy character 502, the streamer's avatar 501's energy gauge 510 decreases by only 1 / 2 or 1 / 5 of the normal amount. means.

[0145] Incidentally, the specific game object mentioned above may be the avatar of the broadcaster, as shown in Figure 8. For example, but not limited to, equipment, points, rewards, coins, cards, etc. Various things can be targeted depending on the type of the object. The delivery status information that is the basis for calculating "Number of days delivered" and "Total number of gifts received" is It may be only about the first video 410 or about the second video 500. It may be only one related to the first moving image 410 and one related to the second moving image 500. It may be the sum (addition) of both.

[0146] Also, the control parameters associated with a particular game object are stored in at least one distribution state. In other words, calculating based on the situational information will be more advantageous for the distributor. This can be taken to mean that at least one of the following events occurs: - Decrease the difficulty of the game. ·Get more game objects (characters, points, rewards, etc.) for streamers To make. More valuable game objects (rather rare items, higher points and rewards) etc.) to the distributor. In particular, the more frequently a streamer streams and / or the more likely it is that a streamer will receive The more frequently you exchange comments and tips, the more likely this will happen. You can play the game more advantageously. Also, if a streamer has Time slots (for example, three time slots: 0:00-8:00, 8:00-16:00, and 16:00-24:00) In such cases (which can also be called "specified time distribution"), Even in such cases, the frequency of distribution of such content may increase, and the above-mentioned phenomenon may occur. This allows the streamer to play the game with a greater advantage.

[0147] As shown in FIG. 7, when the second video (game) 500 is distributed, the terminal of distributor A The comment information exchanged between the terminal device 10A and each viewer's terminal device 10 (see ST628 above) 1 to ST634) are displayed on the display unit 17 of the terminal device 10A of the distributor A and the terminal device 10 of each viewer. 0 is displayed in the comment field 530.

[0148] 6. Variations In the various embodiments described above, the terminal device 10A of the distributor A receives a second The case where a video 500 is distributed has been described.
