<How to participate in the event>

Next, the method of participating in the event will be described. In the following, we will explain how to participate in an event by taking watching a soccer game as an example.

2 and 3 are sequence diagrams showing an example of an event participation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 and 3 show a process performed by the server 10 and a process performed by the mobile terminal 30, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the steps performed by the server 10 include steps S101 to S117, and the steps performed by the mobile terminal 30 include steps S301 to S318. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the display contents of the mobile terminal when the event participation application is executed. FIG. 4 mainly shows the display contents of the mobile terminal during the event.

First, in step S301, the user creates an account for the event participation system. The user accesses the server 10 via the network 50 and downloads the event participation application from the server 10. After the download is completed, the user installs the event participation application while observing the display contents shown in FIG. 4A. After the installation is completed, the user inputs each item (name, email address, login password, etc.) shown in FIG. 4 (b), and further, each item (gender, date of birth, occupation, sports) shown in FIG. 4 (c). Enter your experience, etc.) and send it to the server 10.

In step S101, when the server 10 stores each item received from the mobile terminal 30 in the memory 15 as a user profile, the account creation process of the event participation system is completed. The server 10 may send an account creation completion notification to the mobile terminal 30. From the second time onward, steps S301 and S101 can be omitted.

After that, the user logs in to the event participation system, selects an event (soccer match) to participate in while looking at the display contents shown in FIG. 4 (d) (step S302), and uses the watching method shown in FIG. 4 (e). While watching the selection screen, select whether to watch the game at the stadium or watch it on TV or the Internet (step S303). Further, the watching method selected in step S303 is transmitted to the server 10. The server 10 stores the viewing method of each user received from the mobile terminal 30 in the memory 15. In step S303, the watching method is automatically selected by comparing the position information of the mobile terminal 30 with the position information of the stadium where the soccer game is played by using the GPS function of the mobile terminal 30. You may do it.

Then, the user selects the support team while looking at the support team selection screen shown in FIG. 4 (f) (step S304).

Next, step S305 will be described. When the match is started, the support input screen shown in FIG. 4 (g) is displayed on the mobile terminal 30. The user selects the support content from the support content selection unit 38a. The support content is selected, for example, by tapping, flicking, or gesturing the support content selection unit 38a. In the following, the case where "applause" is selected as the cheering content will be described, but other cheering content may be selected.

While watching the game, the user inputs the selected cheering content (here, “applause”) as shown in FIG. 4 (h). For example, when a player of a cheering team plays a good play such as a fine play, the user performs a cheering input operation by tapping the display panel of the mobile terminal 30. In the cheering input operation, the user can appropriately adjust the number of cheering input times and the cheering input frequency according to the play content. On the other hand, when the player plays a bad game such as foul play, the user can also select and input boos, for example, as the support content.

During that time, the processing unit 31 counts the number of cheering inputs (number of taps) since the user started the cheering input operation (tap).

Next, step S306 will be described. When the processing unit 31 detects the end of the cheering input operation, the processing unit 31 ends counting the number of cheering inputs. Then, as shown in FIG. 4 (i), the processing unit 31 displays the counted number of cheering inputs on the display panel.

The detection of the end of the cheering input operation is performed, for example, when the interval of the continuous cheering input operation exceeds the predetermined continuous cheering input judgment time, or the interval of the continuous cheering input operation is within the predetermined continuous cheering input operation judgment time. This is performed when the number of times of cheering input reaches a predetermined upper limit of the number of times of continuous cheering input.

The continuous support input determination time can be set to an arbitrary value (for example, 0.5 seconds). Further, the upper limit value of the number of continuous support inputs can be set to an arbitrary value (for example, 30 times). In the following, the period from the start of the support input by the user to the detection of the end of the support input operation by the processing unit 11 may be referred to as a continuous support input period.

The processing unit 31 includes the number of cheering inputs at the time when the end of the cheering input operation is detected, the cheering content, the cheering start time when the cheering input operation is started (that is, the start time of the continuous cheering input period), and the cheering end time. , And support input information including, is generated, and the generated support input information is transmitted to the server 10. Further, the processing unit 31 may store the generated support input information in the memory 35. The generation of the support input information and the transmission to the server 10 are performed on each mobile terminal 30 of the logged-in user who watches the same game.

Since the terminal time on the mobile terminal 30 and the server time on the server 10 may be different, the processing unit 31 may include the corrected terminal time corrected in place of the terminal time in the support input information. For example, when the time difference between the terminal time and the server time is within a predetermined time difference allowable range, the processing unit 31 determines that the correction of the terminal time is not necessary. On the other hand, when the time difference between the terminal time and the server time is out of the predetermined time difference allowable range, the processing unit 31 determines that the terminal time needs to be corrected.

For example, at the time of login, the processing unit 31 acquires the server time from the server 10, calculates the time difference between the terminal time and the server time, and compares the time difference with the time difference allowable range. When the time difference is out of the time difference allowable range, the processing unit 31 holds the calculated time difference as a time correction value or stores it in the memory 35. Then, the processing unit 31 calculates the corrected terminal time using the time correction value, and generates the support input information using the corrected time. Of course, the processing unit 31 may generate the support input information using the corrected terminal time using the time difference without setting the time difference allowable range.

In step S103 and the subsequent steps, the support input information transmitted from each mobile terminal 30 of the plurality of logged-in users is aggregated. First, in step S103, when the event is started, the processing unit 11 of the server 10 sequentially sets a predetermined support input information aggregation period until the event ends, and the support input information is input for each support input information aggregation period. Count the number of received cases (that is, the number of posters of support input information). At this time, the processing unit 11 counts the number of posters of the support input information in each support input information aggregation period based on the support start time included in each support input information. The support input information aggregation period can be set to an arbitrary value (for example, 3 seconds), and can be appropriately changed according to the content of the event.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a method of detecting the generation of a digital wave and the end of a digital wave. The horizontal axis of FIG. 5 indicates time. In addition, FIG. 5 also shows the support input information aggregation period (T0, T1, ...). On the other hand, the vertical axis of FIG. 5 shows the number of contributors in each support input information aggregation period.

The processing unit 11 determines whether or not a digital wave is generated in each support input information aggregation period based on the number of contributors. For example, when the number of received support input information (number of contributors) in the support input information aggregation period is smaller than the predetermined digital wave generation threshold value Pw1, the processing unit 11 determines that no digital wave has been generated. On the other hand, when the number of received support input information in the support input information aggregation period is equal to or higher than the predetermined digital wave generation threshold value Pw1, the processing unit 11 determines that the digital wave has been generated (step S104). The digital wave generation threshold value Pw1 is set to an arbitrary value (for example, 20% of the total number of logged-in users, 20% of the total number of users, etc.), but can be appropriately changed according to the content of the event. At this time, the presence or absence of digital wave generation may be determined based on the number of received support input information having the same support content, or the presence or absence of digital wave generation may be determined based on the total number of received support regardless of the support content. May be good.

In the example of FIG. 5, it is assumed that the player shoots, for example, in the support input information aggregation period T0. However, the number of posts of support input information does not increase during a predetermined period (for example, until the support input information aggregation period T1) after the shot is shot. This is because each mobile terminal 30 counts the number of cheering inputs and generates cheering input information, so that there is a time lag between the time when the player shoots and the time when the server 10 receives the cheering input information. Therefore, the cheering start time referred to for counting the number of contributors does not match the server time included in the corresponding cheering input information aggregation period. Therefore, in each support input information aggregation period, the support start time to be aggregated is defined. In addition, in each support input information aggregation period, the support end time to be aggregated may be specified.

In the example of FIG. 5, since the number of contributors is equal to or higher than the digital wave generation threshold value Pw1 in the support input information aggregation period T2, the digital wave generation is detected in the support input information aggregation period T2.

When the occurrence of a digital wave is detected, the processing unit 11 performs the number of cheering inputs of all the contributors with the same cheering content in the cheering input information aggregation period (support input information aggregation period T2 in FIG. 5) in which the occurrence of the digital wave is detected. The average value (average number of taps) is calculated (step S105). Then, the processing unit 11 sets the duration of the digital wave (support duration) based on the average value of the number of times of support input calculated in step S106 (step S106). Further, in step S106, the number of contributors in the support input information aggregation period currently being aggregated is set in the digital wave creation data. The processing unit 11 holds or stores the set cheering duration and digital wave creation data in the memory 15.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between the average value of the number of times of support input and the support duration. The horizontal axis of FIG. 6 indicates time. FIG. 6A shows a case where the total number of contributors with the same support content is, for example, 20,000, and the average number of support inputs is 16 or more and less than 21. In this case, the processing unit 11 sets, for example, a time corresponding to the support input information aggregation period for four times including the period for calculating the average value of the number of support inputs as the support duration. If each support input information aggregation period is set to 3 seconds, the support duration will be 12 seconds. The value of the digital wave creation data is 20,000.

FIG. 6B shows a case where the total number of contributors with the same support content is, for example, 20,000, and the average number of support inputs is 6 or more and less than 11 times. In this case, the processing unit 11 sets, for example, a time corresponding to the support input information aggregation period for two times including the period for calculating the average value of the number of support inputs as the support duration. If each support input information aggregation period is set to 3 seconds, the support duration will be 6 seconds. The value of the digital wave creation data is 20,000.

FIG. 6C shows a case where the total number of contributors with the same support content is, for example, 5,000, and the average number of support inputs is 11 or more and less than 16. In this case, the processing unit 11 sets, for example, a time corresponding to the support input information aggregation period for three times including the period for calculating the average value of the number of support inputs as the support duration. If each support input information aggregation period is set to 3 seconds, the support duration will be 9 seconds. The value of the digital wave creation data is 5,000.

FIG. 6D shows a case where the total number of contributors with the same support content is, for example, 5,000, and the average number of support inputs is 26 or more and 30 or less. In this case, the processing unit 11 sets, for example, a time corresponding to the support input information aggregation period for six times including the period for calculating the average value of the number of support inputs as the support duration. If each support input information aggregation period is set to 3 seconds, the support duration will be 18 seconds. The value of the digital wave creation data is 5,000.

Although FIG. 6 shows an example in which the support duration is set only by the average value of the number of times of support input, the support duration may be set based on the total number of contributors and the average value of the number of times of support input.

Next, step S307 will be described. Even after detecting the end of the support input operation in step S306, the mobile terminal 30 accepts the support input operation. The processing unit 31 generates cheering input information each time it detects the end of the cheering input operation, and transmits the generated cheering input information to the server 10.

Next, step S107 will be described. When the support duration is calculated in step S106, the processing unit 11 performs aggregation processing of the support input information received in the next support input information aggregation period. In step S107, when the number of received support input information in the support input information aggregation period is equal to or less than the predetermined digital wave end threshold value Pw2, the processing unit 11 determines that the digital wave has ended. On the other hand, when the number of received support input information in the support input information aggregation period is larger than the predetermined digital wave end threshold value Pw2, the processing unit 11 determines that the digital wave is continuing.

The digital wave end threshold value Pw2 is set to an arbitrary value (for example, 10% of the total number of logged-in users, 10% of the total number of users, etc.), but can be appropriately changed according to the content of the event. Further, the digital wave generation threshold value Pw1 and the digital wave end threshold value Pw2 may be the same value. The aggregation process of the support input information in this support input information aggregation period is similar to the processing in the previous support input information aggregation period, except for the continuous detection of the digital wave.

Further, in step S107, when the continuation of the digital wave is detected in the support input information aggregation period currently being aggregated, the support input information aggregation period currently being aggregated is the support continuation set in the previous support input information aggregation period. If it is within the time, the processing unit 11 adds the number of contributors (data for creating a digital wave) in each previous cheering input information aggregation period to the number of contributors in the cheering input information aggregation period currently being aggregated. , Support input information currently being aggregated Set the digital wave creation data for the aggregation period.

Specifically, when the continuation of the digital wave is detected during the support input information aggregation period currently being aggregated, that is, when the number of contributors is larger than the digital wave continuation threshold Pw2, the support input information aggregation period currently being aggregated The digital wave creation data is obtained by adding the number of contributors in each previous support input information aggregation period to the number of contributors in the support input information aggregation period currently being aggregated.

By performing such processing for each support input information aggregation period, the processing unit 11 sequentially generates digital wave creation data for each support input information aggregation period during the continuation of the digital wave (step S108).

The digital wave creation data may be generated even during a period other than the time when the digital wave is generated or continued, but the number of contributors during these periods is not reflected in the digital wave creation data.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a method of generating data for creating a digital wave. FIG. 7 corresponds to FIG. Further, the support duration corresponding to the support input information aggregation period T2 is a time corresponding to the support input information aggregation period for three times up to the support input information aggregation period T4. The support duration corresponding to the support input information aggregation period T3 is the time corresponding to the support input information aggregation period for four times up to the support input information aggregation period T6. The support duration corresponding to the support input information aggregation period T4 is the time corresponding to the support input information aggregation period for three times up to the support input information aggregation period T6. The support duration corresponding to the support input information aggregation period T5 is the time corresponding to the support input information aggregation period for three times up to the support input information aggregation period T7. The support duration corresponding to the support input information aggregation period T6 is the time corresponding to the support input information aggregation period for three times up to the support input information aggregation period T8.

In the example of FIG. 5, the digital wave continues until the support input information aggregation period T6, and the end of the digital wave is detected in the support input information aggregation period T7.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the digital wave creation data in the support input information aggregation period T2 in which the occurrence of the digital wave is detected is the total number of contributors N2 in the support input information aggregation period T2. The data for creating a digital wave in the support input information aggregation period T3 is the sum of the total number of contributors N2 in the support input information aggregation period T2 and the total number of contributors N3 in the support input information aggregation period T3 (N2 + N3). The data for creating a digital wave in the support input information aggregation period T4 is N2 + N3 + N4. The data for creating a digital wave in the support input information aggregation period T5 is N3 + N4 + N5. The data for creating a digital wave in the support input information aggregation period T6 is N3 + N4 + N5 + N6. The data for creating a digital wave in the support input information aggregation period T7 is N5 + N6. The data for creating a digital wave in the support input information aggregation period T8 is N6.

In step S109, the processing content when the end of the digital wave is detected is specified.

When the number of posters of the support input information having the same support content in the next support input information aggregation period is equal to or less than the predetermined digital wave end threshold value Pw2, the processing unit 11 detects the end of the digital wave. In this case, the digital wave creation data of the support input information aggregation period currently being aggregated is generated by adding up the number of contributors in each previous support input information aggregation period. However, in this case, the total number of contributors during the support input information aggregation period currently being aggregated is not reflected in the digital wave creation data.

When the end of the digital wave is detected, the processing unit 11 digitally uses the support data (support input information) from the first support input information aggregation period when the wave generation is detected to the support input information aggregation period when the wave end is detected. Generate wave creation data.

When the end of the digital wave is detected, the processing unit 11 generates digital wave data for displaying the digital wave on the mobile terminal 30 based on the digital wave creation data of each support input information aggregation period, and the generated digital wave. The data is transmitted to the mobile terminals 30 of all logged-in users (step S110).

When generating the digital wave data, the processing unit 11 performs a process of converting the digital wave creation data (total number of contributors) of each support input information aggregation period into waveform data. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a method of generating digital wave data. FIG. 8A shows digital wave creation data for each support input information aggregation period converted into waveform data. FIG. 8A is similar to the virtual waveform using the digital wave creation data shown in FIG. 7. FIG. 8B shows the digital wave display time (D0, D1, ...) Corresponding to each support input information aggregation period, and the waveform code (C0, C0, ...) Corresponding to the waveform data at each display time. The display time-waveform code correspondence table corresponding to is shown.

The generated digital wave data includes, for example, the support start time included in each support input information aggregation period, the display time-wavecode code correspondence table shown in FIG. 8 (b), and the total number of contributors when the waveform is the highest. , Various information such as the ratio of the number of contributors at the time of digital wave generation is included. The support start time included in each support input information aggregation period may be composed of the earliest support start time in each support input information aggregation period and the time of the support input information aggregation period.

In step S308, the processing unit 31 of the mobile terminal 30 processes the received digital wave data. The processing unit 31 performs processing for shortening the display time of the digital wave in each display time, for example. Specifically, the processing unit 31 processes the digital wave data so as to shorten (for example, 1/3) each support input information aggregation period. As a result, the waveform of the digital wave can be drastically changed, and the emotions of the user who watches the event can be displayed more appropriately.

In step S309, it is determined whether or not the user of the mobile terminal 30 has posted the support input information within the digital wave generation period. The processing unit 31 stores or holds the earliest support start time for totaling each support input information aggregation period included in the digital wave data, the set value (time) of the support input information aggregation period, and the memory 35. Based on the support start time of the user who is doing the support, it is determined whether or not the user of the mobile terminal 30 has posted the support input information within the digital wave generation period.

When it is determined that the user of the mobile terminal 30 has posted the support input information within the digital wave generation period, the processing unit 31 assigns a wave point to this user and holds the assigned wave point or stores it in the memory 35. ..

Further, when the time when the user posts the support input information is within the first support input information aggregation period when the occurrence of the digital wave is detected, the processing unit 31 grants the leader point to the user and gives the leader point. Is stored or stored in the memory 35 (step S310).

Then, the processing unit 31 causes the mobile terminal 30 to display the digital wave, the wave point given to the user, and the leader point (step S311). At this time, a sound effect that excites the atmosphere may be reproduced from the mobile terminal 30.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a digital wave displayed on a mobile terminal. FIG. 9A is a digital wave display screen corresponding to the display code C0. Since FIG. 9A corresponds to the case where the digital wave is not generated, the digital wave is not displayed. FIG. 9B is a digital wave display screen corresponding to the display code C1.
