A terminal includes one or more processors, and memory storing one or more computer programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors. The one or more computer programs include instructions for: displaying an analysis screen of a livestream associated with a selling item on a display; and displaying, on the analysis screen, a first object indicating a sales activity on a livestreamer side and a second object indicating reactions on viewers side together along a same time axis.

Claims (41)

1. A terminal, comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing one or more computer programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors,

the one or more computer programs including instructions for:

displaying a control screen and an analysis screen of a livestream associated with a selling item on a display, wherein the control screen shows at least one thumbnail of the selling item and an introduction start button of the selling item;

upon detection of the introduction start button being pressed, generating an introduction start request signal including a selling item ID of the selling item, and transforming the introduction start button into an introduction end button;

upon the detection of the introduction end button being pressed, generating an introduction end request signal including the selling item ID of the selling item, and transforming the introduction end button into the introduction start button; and

displaying, on the analysis screen, a first object indicating a sales activity on a livestreamer side and a second object indicating reactions on viewers side together along a same time axis, wherein the first object includes the thumbnail of the selling item and an introduction period display object indicating a period during which the selling item was or is introduced, and the thumbnail and the introduction period display object of the first object are changed and calculated according to the introduction start request signal and the introduction end request signal on the basis of the selling item ID.

2. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the second object includes an object indicating a number of actions to order a selling item, and the first object includes an object indicating an activity related to introduction of the selling item in the livestream.

3. The terminal of claim 2 , wherein the livestream is associated with a plurality of selling items, and

wherein the second object includes a plurality of objects, each indicating the number of actions to order a corresponding selling item, and the first object includes a plurality of objects, each indicating the activity related to introduction of a corresponding selling item.

4. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein each viewer is classified into one of a plurality of categories depending on an action history of the viewer, and the second object includes a plurality of objects, each of which indicates reactions of viewers of a corresponding category.

5. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the second object includes at least one selected from the group consisting of: an object indicating a number of comments in the livestream, an object indicating a number of times the livestream is shared, and an object indicating a number of times a predetermined icon is specified, in the livestream.

6. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the one or more computer programs further include instructions for displaying a message from an administrator side on the analysis screen in real time.

7. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the analysis screen includes a graph showing the first object and the second object together along the same time axis.

8. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the analysis screen is generated based on first history data indicating a history of the sales activity on the livestreamer side and second history data indicating the reactions on the viewers side.

9. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the first history data includes the selling item ID for identifying the selling item and first time data indicating when the livestreamer side started introduction of the selling item.

10. A method, comprising:

displaying a control screen and an analysis screen of a livestream associated with a selling item on a display, wherein the control screen shows at least one thumbnail of the selling item and an introduction start button of the selling item;

upon detection of the introduction start button being pressed, generating an introduction start request signal including a selling item ID of the selling item, and transforming the introduction start button into an introduction end button;

upon the detection of the introduction end button being pressed, generating an introduction end request signal including the selling item ID of the selling item, and transforming the introduction end button into the introduction start button; and

displaying, on the analysis screen, a first object indicating a sales activity on a livestreamer side and a second object indicating reactions on viewers side together along a same time axis, wherein the first object includes the thumbnail of the selling item and an introduction period display object indicating a period during which the selling item was or is introduced, and the thumbnail and the introduction period display object of the first object are changed and calculated according to the introduction start request signal and the introduction end request signal on the basis of the selling item ID.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the analysis screen includes a graph showing the first object and the second object together along the same time axis.

17. A server, comprising:

a relay unit adapted to transmit a video data related to a livestream from a terminal of a livestreamer side to a terminal of a viewer side, the livestream being associated with a selling item;

a sales activity receiving unit adapted to receive a signal indicating sales activity on the livestreamer side during the livestream from the terminal of the livestreamer side over a network;

a reaction receiving unit adapted to receive a signal indicating a reaction from the viewer side during the livestream from the terminal of the viewer side over the network;

a generating unit adapted to generate an analysis screen on which a first object indicating the sales activity on the livestreamer side and a second object indicating the reaction on the viewer side are displayed together along a same time axis; and

a transmission unit adapted to transmit the generated analysis screen to the terminal of the livestreamer side over the network;

wherein, a control screen is generated and displayed on the terminal of the livestreamer side with the analysis screen, and the control screen shows at least one thumbnail of the selling item and an introduction start button of the selling item;

upon detection of the introduction start button being pressed, an introduction start request signal including a selling item ID of the selling item is generated by the terminal of the livestreamer side, and the introduction start button is transformed into an introduction end button;

upon the detection of the introduction end button being pressed, an introduction end request signal including the selling item ID of the selling item is generated by the terminal of the livestreamer side, and the introduction end button is transformed into the introduction start button;

wherein, the first object includes the thumbnail of the selling item and an introduction period display object indicating a period during which the selling item was or is introduced, and the thumbnail and the introduction period display object of the first object are changed and calculated by the generating unit according to the introduction start request signal and the introduction end request signal on the basis of the selling item ID.
