Video processing method, server device, and computer program
An aspect of the invention relates to a method, a server device, a computer program for processing a video. A video processing method is performed by execution of a computer-readable command by one or more processors. The method includes receiving, from a terminal device of a viewer of a video including an animation of an avatar object of a distributer via a communication line, a request signal for a first gift to the avatar object, the request signal being generated based on an operation of the viewer of the video, and generating the video including an animation of the avatar object fitted with a second gift having a feature common to the first gift when it is determined that a combination of a plurality of the first gifts given to the avatar object based on a plurality of the request signals satisfies a predetermined condition.
1. A video processing method performed by execution of a computer-readable command by one or more processors, the video processing method comprising:
receiving, from a terminal device of a viewer of a video including an animation of an avatar object of a distributer via a communication line, a request signal for a first gift to the avatar object, the request signal being generated based on an operation of the viewer of the video, and
generating the video including an animation of the avatar object fitted with a second gift having an aesthetic feature common to the first gift when it is determined that a combination of a plurality of the first gifts given to the avatar object based on a plurality of the request signals satisfies a predetermined condition relating to the first gifts, wherein the determination that the combination satisfies the predetermined condition is performed based on a reference table for storing types of the first gift given to the avatar object and a given number for each type of the first gift in association with each other.
2. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the avatar object is a first avatar object generated based on an operation of the distributer.
3. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the avatar object is a second avatar object related to a game generated based on an action or an operation of the distributer.
4. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the second gift changes a size, a color, a shape, or at least a portion of configurations of the first gift.
5. The video processing method according to claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to a terminal device of a plurality of viewers, comment information indicating a necessary condition for the combination to satisfy the predetermined condition when the combination of the plurality of first gifts does not satisfy the predetermined condition.
6. The video processing method according to claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to a terminal device of a plurality of viewers, comment information indicating that the first gift is given to the avatar object and/or that the first gift is fitted to the avatar object in response to the request signal received from the terminal device of a certain viewer.
7. The video processing method according to claim 1 , further comprising setting a duration for maintaining the second gift in the video and deleting the second gift from the video when the duration has elapsed when the combination satisfies the predetermined condition.
8. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving and the generating are executed by a server device connected to the terminal device of the viewer and/or the terminal device of the distributer via the communication line.
9. The video processing method according to claim 8 , wherein the determination is performed by the server device.
10. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the generating is performed by the terminal device of the distributer.
11. The video processing method according to claim 10 , wherein a server device connected to the terminal device of the viewer and/or the terminal device of the distributer via the communication line, or the terminal device of the distributer determines that the combination satisfies the predetermined condition.
12. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving is performed by a server device connected to the terminal device of the viewer and/or the terminal device of the distributer via the communication line, or the terminal device of the distributer, wherein the server device or the terminal device of the distributer determines that the combination satisfies the predetermined condition, and wherein the terminal device of the viewer performs the generating of the video including the animation with the second gift.
13. The video processing method according to claim 12 , wherein the server device or the terminal device of the distributer transmits information related to the second gift to the terminal device of the viewer when it is determined that the combination satisfies the predetermined condition.
14. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein gifting of the first gift to the avatar object is performed for each fitted portion of the avatar object, and the fitted portion is at a portion of the avatar object or a portion away from the avatar object.
15. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor, or a graphics processing unit (GPU).
16. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the communication line includes the Internet.
17. A server device, comprising:
one or more processors, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive, from a terminal device of a viewer of a video including an animation of an avatar object of a distributer via a communication line, a request signal for a first gift to the avatar object, the request signal being generated based on an operation of a viewer of the video, and
generate the video including an animation of the avatar object fitted with a second gift having an aesthetic feature common to the first gift when it is determined that a combination of a plurality of the first gifts given to the avatar object based on a plurality of the request signals satisfies a predetermined condition relating to the first gifts, wherein the determination that the combination satisfies the predetermined condition is performed based on a reference table for storing types of the first gift given to the avatar object and a given number for each type of the first gift in association with each other.
18. The server device according to claim 17 , wherein the processor is a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor, or a graphics processing unit (GPU).
19. The server device according to claim 17 , wherein the communication line includes the Internet.
20. A server device, comprising:
one or more processors, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive, from a terminal device of a viewer of a video including an animation of an avatar object of a distributer via a communication line, a request signal for a first gift to the avatar object, the request signal being generated based on an operation of the viewer of the video, and
transmit information related to a second gift having an aesthetic feature common to the first gift to the terminal device of the viewer generating the video including an animation of the avatar object fitted with the second gift or to a terminal device of a distributer when it is determined that a combination of a plurality of the first gifts given to the avatar object based on a plurality of the request signals satisfies a predetermined condition relating to the first gifts, wherein the determination that the combination satisfies the predetermined condition is performed based on a reference table for storing types of the first gift given to the avatar object and a given number for each type of the first gift in association with each other.
21. The server device according to claim 20 , wherein the processor is a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor, or a graphics processing unit (GPU).
