Then, the object display unit 420 displays the first object corresponding to the first gift in the moving image based on the first gift display request transmitted from the viewing user terminal (viewing user terminal 210).

As an example, it is assumed that the viewing user selects the first gift from the list of gifts displayed on the viewing user terminal 210 by pressing the gift button 208 and makes a display request.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a screen 215 showing a list of gifts displayed on the viewing user terminal 210. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, gifts can be classified and displayed according to categories (free gifts, paid gifts, accessories, support goods, appeals, variety, etc.).

Here, a paid gift is a gift that can be purchased by the viewing user by consuming my coins purchased, and a free gift is a gift that the viewing user can obtain without consuming or consuming my points obtained free of charge. .

As an example, the first gift is a snowball gift for displaying a snowball object SB1 representing a snowball, as shown in FIG. 8(a).

As another example, the first gift is a dumpling gift for displaying a dumpling object DP1 representing a dumpling, as shown in FIG. 9(a).

However, the first gift and the first object are not limited to the above examples, and any shape can be used as long as the third object can be displayed in relation to the second object described later. can be an object of

Then, the determination unit 430 determines whether or not the first object displayed by the object display unit 420 is displayed within a predetermined distance from the second object already displayed in the moving image.

As an example, the second object can be the same snowball object SB2 as the first object, as shown in FIG. 8(b). That is, the first object already displayed in the moving image becomes the second object.

Also, the second object may be an object SB3 in which a plurality of snowballs, which are the first object, are piled up, as shown in FIG. 8(c). Alternatively, the second object may be a snowball object SB4 that is larger than the snowball object that is the first object, as shown in FIG. 8(d).

Any of these second objects may be displayed in response to the first gift display request. That is, as shown in FIG. 8D, when there is a first gift display request in one moving image, a large snowball object SB4 is displayed, and the second and subsequent gifts are displayed as the first gifts. A snowball object SB1 smaller than the object corresponding to the first gift request may be displayed.

As another example, the second object can be the same dumpling object DP2 as the first object, as shown in FIG. 9(b). That is, the first object already displayed in the moving image becomes the second object.

Alternatively, the second object may be an object DP3 in which the dumpling objects, which are the first objects, are arranged or piled up, as shown in FIG. 9(c). Alternatively, the second object, as shown in FIG. 9(d), may be a pedestal object DP4 for stacking the dumpling object, which is the first object.

Any of these second objects may be displayed in response to the first gift display request. That is, as shown in FIG. 9D, when there is a first display request for the first gift in one moving image, the pedestal object DP4 is displayed, A dumpling object DP1 different from the object corresponding to the gift request of 1 may be displayed. Also, when the display request for the first gift is made for the second time, an object in which three dumplings are lined up is displayed, and when the display request for the first gift is made for the third time, An object with two dumplings arranged side by side may be displayed, and an object with one dumpling may be displayed when the display request for the first gift is made for the fourth time. Note that the number of dumplings is not particularly limited to the above example.

The information about the first object includes at least identification information specifying the type of the first object and position information indicating the position where the object is displayed. The first object is then displayed at the specified position with the specified type of shape based on the information about the first object. Whether or not the first object is displayed within a predetermined distance from the second object already displayed in the moving image is determined by the three-dimensional or two-dimensional coordinates of the position where the second object is displayed and the It is determined by comparing the three-dimensional or two-dimensional coordinates of the position where one object is displayed.

Also, although the predetermined distance is not particularly limited, it is preferably determined in consideration of the ease of visual recognition by the viewing user or the distribution user. As an example, the predetermined distance can be set based on the screen size of the moving image and the size of the object.

Also, the first object may be displayed moving from the top to the bottom of the screen, from the bottom to the top, from the left to the right, from the right to the left, from the back of the screen to the front, or , may be displayed in such a manner as to move from the front to the back of the screen.

Then, when the determination unit 430 determines that the first object is displayed within the predetermined distance from the second object, the object display unit 420 displays the first object and the second object as the third object. is changed to and displayed.

As an example, if the first object is the snowball object SB1, the third object can be the snowman object SM as shown in FIG.

Alternatively, if the first object is the dumpling object DP1, the third object can be the rabbit object RB as shown in FIG.

Note that when the determination unit 430 determines that the first object is not displayed within the predetermined distance from the second object, the object display unit 420 displays the first object and the second object as the third object. , the first object is displayed at a predetermined position in the screen without changing its display mode until a predetermined time elapses, like a normal gift object.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a technical improvement that solves or mitigates at least part of the problems of the prior art described above. Specifically, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to increase the motivation of the viewing user for gifting.

In addition, according to the above configuration, it is possible to increase the interest of gifting and increase the willingness of the viewing user to gift by changing the display of the gift.

In addition, one or more computer processors according to the present disclosure can further include a measurement unit 440 and a number-of-times determination unit 450 as shown in FIG. 12 .

When a plurality of first objects are displayed by the object display unit 420, the measurement unit 440 determines a predetermined number of the plurality of first objects from one or more second objects already displayed in the moving image. Count the number of times it is determined to be displayed within the distance.

The number-of-times determination unit 450 determines whether or not the number of times measured by the measurement unit 440 has reached a specified number of times.

At this time, it is preferable that the specified number of times is set based on the screen size of the moving image. That is, it is preferable to vary the prescribed number of times depending on whether the screen size of the moving image to be displayed is vertically long or horizontally long. For example, if the screen size is vertically long, the prescribed number of times is three, whereas if the screen size is horizontally long, the prescribed number of times is two.

Then, when the number-of-times determination unit 450 determines that the number of times has reached the specified number of times, the object display unit 420 can change the first object and the second object to the third object and display them. .

Further, when the number of times determining unit 450 determines that the number of One object can be displayed in contact with a second object.

The position at which the first object is brought into contact with the second object is not particularly limited, but as an example, as shown in FIGS. It can be displayed by contacting in a manner.

Here, an example in which the specified number of times is three will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14. FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the object display unit 420 displays the second snowball object (first object) where the first snowball object (second object) SB2 is displayed. When SB1 is displayed (S20), if the determining unit 430 determines that they are within the predetermined distance (Yes in S30), the second snowball object SB1 is positioned closer to the first snowball object SB2. They are displayed in a display mode in which they are piled up (S40). Then, the measurement unit 440 updates the determined number of times of measurement to 1 (S50).

Then, the number-of-times determination unit 450 determines that the number of measurements (one time) by the measurement unit 440 has not reached the specified number of times (three times) (No in S60), and determines that the next snowball object (first object) SB1 Wait for display.

It should be noted that if the determining unit 430 determines in S30 that the snowball object SB2 and the snowball object SB1 are not within the predetermined distance (No in S30), the second snowball object SB1 will be closer to the first snowball. The snowball object SB1 is displayed at a different position until the display ends (S70).

Next, the object display unit 420 displays the third snowball object SB2 where the first snowball object and the second snowball object SB2 (here, the two are collectively referred to as the second object) are displayed. When the snowball object (first object) SB1 is displayed (S20), and the determining unit 430 determines that they are within the predetermined distance (Yes in S30), the third snowball object SB1 is displayed. The second snowball object SB2 is displayed in such a manner as to be piled up (S40). Then, the measurement unit 440 updates the number of times of measurement, which is the determined number of times, to two (S50).

Then, the number-of-times determining unit 450 determines that the number of times of measurement (two times) by the measuring unit 440 has not reached the specified number of times (three times) (No in S60), and determines that the next snowball object (first object) SB1 Wait for display.

If the determination unit 430 determines in S30 that they are not within the predetermined distance (No in S30), the third snowball object SB1 will be piled on top of the second snowball object SB2. It is not displayed in the display mode, but is displayed as a single snowball object SB1 at a different position until the display ends (S70).

Finally, the object display section 420 displays the first snowball object, the second snowball object, and the third snowball object SB2 (here, the three are collectively referred to as the second object). When the fourth snowball object (first object) SB1 is displayed where the snowball object SB1 is located (S20), and the determination unit 430 determines that these objects are within the predetermined distance (Yes in S30), 4 The third snowball object SB1 is displayed in such a manner that it is stacked on top of the third snowball object SB2 (S40). Then, the measurement unit 440 updates the determined number of times of measurement to three (S50).

Then, the number-of-times determination unit 450 determines that the number of measurements (three times) by the measurement unit 440 has reached the specified number of times (three times) (Yes in S60), and the object display unit 420 displays the snowball object SB1 and the snowball object. SB2 is changed to the third object, the snowman object SM, and displayed.

If the determination unit 430 determines in S30 that they are not within the predetermined distance (No in S30), the fourth snowball object SB1 is piled on top of the third snowball object SB2. It is not displayed in the display mode, but is displayed as a single snowball object SB1 at a different position until the display ends (S70).

In the above example, all the first objects that have already been displayed are used as the second objects, but only one immediately preceding first object may be used as the second object.

Also, the specified number of times may be three or more, or may be less than that. In particular, when the prescribed number of times is 1, if the first snowman is stacked with a second snowman, it will become a small snowman, if a snowman is stacked with a third, it will be a medium-sized snowman, and a medium-sized snowman will be stacked with a fourth. The first object and the second object may be configured such that the display modes of the first object and the second object change each time, such as when they are piled up, they become a large snowman.

In addition, it is also possible to express a change that gradually evolves from a snowman to a snow monster, or to express a change from a dumpling to a rabbit, and from a rabbit to the moon, to an object that is conceptually connected. .

Moreover, when displaying the third object, a performance expression such as a sound effect or smoke may be added.

Also, the object display unit 420 can display at least part of the third object so as to cover the head of the character object and follow the movement of the head of the character object.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of covering the head of the character object CO with the lowest part of the body of the snowman object SM. It should be noted that, in the state before changing to the snowman object SM, the stacked snowball objects are displayed in a state of being stacked on the head of the character object CO. Then, when the head of the character object CO tilts to the right, the snowman object SM is displayed so as to follow it and tilt to the right.

Further, while the third object is being displayed, the object display unit 420 preferably prohibits further display of the first object based on the first gift display request.

In this case, the viewing user's request to display the first gift itself is accepted. A time limit may be set for the period during which the display is prohibited, and the first object may be displayed again after the predetermined time limit has passed. At this time, display requests that have already been made wait as a queue.

Alternatively, the one or more computer processors in the present disclosure may prohibit acceptance of further first gift display requests while the third object is being displayed.

In this case, the first gift display request itself by the viewing user is not accepted. At this time, the gift list displayed on the viewing user terminal is displayed in such a manner that the first gift, for which reception of the display request is prohibited, cannot be selected.

Also, the object display unit 420 can display the first object based on the specification of the initial display position of the first object transmitted from the viewing user terminal.

That is, the third object functions as a non-wearable gift. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the third object can be placed at a predetermined position in the virtual space within the moving image instead of being worn by the character object.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the first object is a snowball object has been described, but the first object may be displayed as an animation of falling snowballs or crystals. At this time, the snowman object may be attached to the head of the character object when the animation is finished playing or when the snowball or crystal comes into contact with the character object.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example was described in which the displayed object gradually changes in response to the display request for the same first gift. It may be a gift of a kind, or one that can change the displayed object.

Specifically, using the example of the snowman object, after the snowman object is attached to the head of the character object in response to the display request for the snowball gift, the display request for the icicle gift is made, and the icicle is displayed from the top to the bottom of the screen. The snowman object may become larger when the snowman object contacts the snowman object when falling to the ground. At this time, it is assumed that the icicle gift and the snowball gift are managed in association with each other.

As a method of such management, there is a method of assigning the same attribute of "ice attribute" to the icicle gift and the snowball gift. In addition to "ice attribute", various attributes such as "sweets attribute", "water attribute", "fire attribute", and "food attribute" can be attached to such attributes.
