Abstract

An information processing device displays a video including an avatar object on a display based on video data received from a server, displays a group to which a distributing user belongs in an identifiable manner in a video view or a video distribution list including images of multiple videos, and sends a display request to display an object in one of the videos to the server.

Claims (50)

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a video data processing program, wherein the video data processing program, when executed by circuitry of a user device, causes the circuitry to:

responsive to a selection of a video from a list of videos that are being distributed, display, on a display of the user device, the video based on first video data;

display, on the display, a first group to which a distributing user belongs as being distinguished from other groups, the distributing user distributing the displayed video;

receive an evaluation result of each group from a server based on (i) a first evaluation obtained based on a length of viewing time of each video distributed by each user of each group and (ii) a second evaluation obtained based on a length of distribution time of each video distributed by each user of each group;

display, on the display, the received evaluation result; and

receive, from the server, information regarding a reward based on the evaluation result of the first group, and display, in the video distributed after the evaluation of the first group, the reward associated with the distributing user to whom the reward is assigned.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium according claim 1 , wherein the video data processing program further causes the circuitry to:

send an event participation request from the distributing user requesting participating in an event, the event participation request including identification information of a group to which the distributing user belongs;

display, on the display during the event, the video based on the first video data; and

responsive to the distributing user starting to distribute the video during the event, display, on the display, the first group.

3. The non-transitory computer readable medium according claim 1 , wherein

the first video includes an avatar object to which movement information of another user is applied.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium according claim 3 , wherein

the reward is an attachment object, the attachment object being associated with a particular part of the avatar object and assigned to each user of the first group, and

the video data processing program further causes the circuitry to display the attachment object associated with the particular part of the avatar object of each user belonging to the first group.

5. The non-transitory computer readable medium according claim 3 , wherein

the reward is an attachment object, the attachment object being associated with a particular part of the avatar object, and

different rewards are assigned to users of different groups so that each group can be distinguished from the other groups.

6. The non-transitory computer readable medium according claim 1 , wherein

the user device comprises a capturing device, and

the video data processing program further causes the circuitry to compose the video based on the first video data and second video data of the real world captured by the capturing device, and display the composed video.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium according claim 1 , wherein the video data processing program further causes the circuitry to:

send a display request to display an object in the video, and

display the evaluation result, wherein the evaluation result is based on the first evaluation, the second evaluation, and a third evaluation obtained based on the display request with respect to each group.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium according claim 7 , wherein

the video data processing program further causes the circuitry to display the object and a message associated with the distributing user.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium according claim 1 , wherein

the video data processing program further causes the circuitry to display an indication that indicates a group to which another user belongs.

10. A video data processing method comprising:

by circuitry of a user device,

responsive to a selection of a video from a list of videos that are being distributed, displaying, on a display of the user device, the video based on first video data;

displaying, on the display, a first group to which a distributing user belongs as being distinguished from other groups, the distributing user distributing the displayed video;

receiving an evaluation result of the first group from a server based on (i) a first evaluation obtained based on a length of viewing time of each video distributed by each user of each group and (ii) a second evaluation obtained based on a length of distribution time of each video distributed by each user of each group;

displaying, on the display, the received evaluation result; and

receiving, from the server, information regarding a reward based on the evaluation result of the first group, and displaying, in the video distributed after the evaluation of the group, the reward associated with the distributing user to whom the reward is assigned.

11. An information processing device communicable with a user device used by a user, the information processing device comprising:

circuitry configured to

store the user in association with a first group of a plurality of groups,

accumulate a length of viewing time of a video on the user device in association with the first group,

accumulate a length of distribution time of the video on the user device in association with the first group,

evaluate each group to obtain an evaluation result based on (i) a first evaluation obtained based on the length of viewing time of each video for each group and (ii) a second evaluation obtained based on the length of distribution time of each video for each group, and

assign a reward to each user of the first group based on the evaluation result of the first group.

12. A video data processing system comprising:

circuitry configured to:

store a distributing user in association with a first group of a plurality of groups;

responsive to a selection of a video from a list of videos that are being distributed, display the video based on first video data;

display the first group to which the distributing user belongs as being distinguished from other groups, the distributing user distributing the displayed video;

evaluate each group to obtain an evaluation result based on (i) a first evaluation obtained based on a length of viewing time of each video for each group and (ii) a second evaluation obtained based on a length of distribution time of each video for each group;

assign a reward to each user of the first group based on the evaluation result of the first group; and

display, in the video distributed after the evaluation of the first group, the reward associated with the distributing user to whom the reward is assigned.
