Abstract: A display medium displays a predetermined number of contents corresponding to a predetermined number of azimuth angles when viewed from a predetermined elevation angle and azimuth angle. An example display medium includes: a planar member that reflects light; and a plurality of protruding members, each protruding member of the plurality of protruding members has a surface occluding the light, placed vertically on the planar member and parallel to each of the predetermined number of azimuth angles. The planar member is partitioned into a plurality of unit cells, where each unit cell is further partitioned into the predetermined number of sub-cells corresponding to the predetermined number of azimuth angles. The protruding member that has the surface parallel to the predetermined azimuth angle is formed for each sub-cell corresponding to the predetermined azimuth angle.

Abstract: An avatar display system in virtual space, an avatar display method in virtual space, and a computer program in which avatar motion data is thinned out within a certain time due to the circumstances of a system and is intermittently distributed. Accordingly, when avatars try to high-touch with each other, the avatars go too far before the hands touch each other in the transmission of coarse motion data, and thus a natural avatar operation cannot be performed. When avatars are intended to perform an operation with contact, such as a high touch operation between the avatars, as the avatars approach each other, a transmission interval in which data required for rendering avatars such as motion data, or rendered avatar data is transmitted from a server to a client terminal is made smaller, and a more natural avatar contact operation can be performed.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, the game execution device includes a receiver, an event controller, a selector, and a generator. The receiver receives a request for generating an event based on a request for executing intervention from an auxiliary server, which receives the request for executing intervention to the game issued by a terminal of audience of a real-time play video of the game. The event controller controls events that occur in the game, at least in response to requests for generating events. The selector selects events subject to notification up to a predetermined number of the first events that occur in the game during the first period. The generator generates notification data to inform a game player of the occurrence of events subject to notification.

Abstract: A reaction candidate storage unit stores candidates of reactions that are switched at predetermined time intervals. A reaction candidate update control unit updates the reaction candidates stored in the reaction candidate storage unit so that a candidate of a new reaction is stored and a reaction candidate already stored is erased after a predetermined time. A reaction candidate display control unit implements control to cause a reaction candidate stored in the reaction candidate storage unit to be displayed on a display unit. A reaction posting control unit, when one of reaction candidates being displayed on the display unit is selected and instructed to be posted, implements control to post the selected reaction candidate stored in the reaction candidate storage unit.

This content distribution server 100 comprises: an information acquisition unit 141 which acquires character information indicating a virtual character used by a distributor in a virtual space, additional information added to the character information, and/or limit information set by the distributor; a distribution unit 143 which distributes live content according to an image in the virtual space in which the movement of the distributor is synthesized as the movement of the virtual character, on the basis of the character information acquired by the information acquisition unit 141; and a behavior limiting unit 144 which limits the behavior of a viewer who watches the live content, on the basis of the additional information and/or the limit information set by the distributor.

Abstract: The present disclosure causes live content to be drawn on the basis of specification data on a virtual object, operation data on the virtual object, and the like, and causes the drawn content to be provided for viewing reproduction on a terminal for viewing.

Abstract: The present disclosure has a configuration in which a distributor who performs a separate distribution that is different from this live content, or a viewer who views this separate distribution can participate in a virtual space and express intent or participate in visual recognition through the commitment of a virtual item.

Abstract: An intervention server according to an aspect of the present invention includes a receiver, a filter, and an intervener. The receiver receives pieces of first user input information from a plurality of audience terminals to which a live play video of a game is distributed. The filter filters the pieces of the first user input information. The intervener intervenes in a progress of the game based on the filtered pieces of the first user input information.

Abstract: A content distribution server, includes: a storage that stores live content received; a controller that controls distributing the live content stored in the storage as chase content to be played in a delayed manner from the live content received; and a communicator that distributes the live content and the chase content to a viewer terminal, wherein the controller changes a sound of the live content and distributes the sound having been changed to the viewer terminal through the communicator.

Abstract: A server includes a storage unit, a determination unit, and a notification unit. The storage unit stores content identification information and interrupted spot information in association with user identification information in a case where the viewing of a content during live distribution is interrupted in a first terminal logged in using the user identification information. The determination unit determines whether or not the content identification information and/or the interrupted spot information that are associated with the user identification information are stored in the storage unit in a case where the server is accessed from a second terminal logged in using the user identification information after the viewing is interrupted. In a case where such information is stored in the storage unit, the notification unit notifies the second terminal that the viewing of the content can be restarted from a viewing interrupted spot by time shift reproduction.
