However, when a user uploads a recorded video to a server where it can be viewed by other users in order to share the video with them, the video data needs to be transmitted to the server. Video data is large in volume compared to, for example, text data, and may take a long time to upload, which may be irritating to users. If the video upload fails and a retry is required, the user may find it even more irritating.

In light of these circumstances, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide an information processing system and information processing method that can reduce complexity.

The construction method for solving the above problem is a construction method for a reproduced video, which is a video file that reproduces a game screen, executed by an information processing device, and includes a first acquisition step of acquiring from a terminal device capable of communicating with the information processing device log information of a process related to the progress of a game generated by the terminal device, a second acquisition step of acquiring reproduction video construction conditions that specify information contained in the log information and are transmitted from the terminal device, and a construction step of extracting the log information that satisfies the reproduction video construction conditions and constructing the reproduction video in which a part of an image displayed is replaced with another image based on the extracted log information.

The program for solving the above problem causes a computer functioning as an information processing device to execute a first acquisition step of acquiring from a terminal device log information of processing related to the progress of a game generated by the terminal device capable of communicating with the information processing device, a second acquisition step of acquiring construction conditions for a reproduction video transmitted from the terminal device, the construction conditions being conditions that specify information contained in the log information, and a construction step of extracting the log information that satisfies the construction conditions for the reproduction video, and constructing the reproduction video in which a part of an image displayed is replaced with another image based on the extracted log information.

The information processing system that solves the above problem includes a server device and at least one terminal device, and is an information processing system that constructs a reproduced video, which is a video file that reproduces a game screen. The terminal device executes processing related to the progress of the game based on user input and is equipped with a terminal control unit that generates log information of the processing related to the progress of the game, and a terminal communication unit that transmits the log information to the server device. The server device is equipped with a first acquisition unit that acquires the log information from the terminal device, a second acquisition unit that acquires reproduction video construction conditions transmitted from the terminal device, which are conditions that specify information included in the log information, and a construction unit that extracts the log information that satisfies the reproduction video construction conditions and constructs the reproduction video in which a part of a displayed image is replaced with another image based on the extracted log information.

The following describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

First Embodiment
FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a main part of an information processing system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The information processing system 100 includes a terminal device 110, a reproduced video construction server 120, and a reproduced video sharing server 130. For simplicity, only one terminal device 110 is shown in FIG. 1, but the information processing system 100 may include a plurality of terminal devices 110. The terminal device 110, the reproduced video construction server 120, and the reproduced video sharing server 130 can be connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via a network such as the Internet. Note that the communication form between the terminal device 110, the reproduced video construction server 120, and the reproduced video sharing server 130 is not limited to this, and the terminal device 110, the reproduced video construction server 120, and the reproduced video sharing server 130 may be connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other by wire or wirelessly.

In the information processing system 100, a user plays a game using a terminal device 110. The reproduced video construction server 120 constructs a video (reproduced video) that reproduces a screen (game screen) related to the progress of the game played by the user on the terminal device 110. In other words, the reproduced video construction server 120 constructs a reproduced video that reproduces a game screen that is separate from the game screen, rather than the game screen that the user actually sees when playing the game. The reproduced video constructed by the reproduced video construction server 120 is stored in the reproduced video sharing server 130. When the user wants to view the reproduced video, the user transmits a request to view the reproduced video (reproduced video viewing request) from the terminal device 110 to the reproduced video sharing server 130. In response to the reproduced video viewing request, the reproduced video sharing server 130 provides the stored reproduced video to the terminal device 110.

The terminal device 110 executes a game that the user plays. The application (game app) of the game executed on the terminal device 110 is, for example, pre-installed on the terminal device 110. The game progresses on the terminal device 110 based on input operations by the user to the input unit 115, etc. The terminal device 110 includes a control unit 111, a communication unit 112, a memory unit 113, a display unit 114, and an input unit 115.

The control unit 111 is a processor that controls and manages the entire terminal device 110, including each functional block of the terminal device 110. In this embodiment, for example, when the control unit 111 performs processing related to the progress of a game, the control unit 111 records log information of the processing related to the progress of the game in the memory unit 113. Details of the log information will be described later. In addition, the control unit 111 transmits the log information recorded in the memory unit 113 from the communication unit 112 to the reproduced video construction server 120 based on a predetermined input operation by the user to the input unit 115, for example.

The communication unit 112 transmits and receives various data by performing wired or wireless communication with the reproduced video construction server 120 and the reproduced video sharing server 130. Based on the control of the control unit 111, the communication unit 112 transmits, for example, log information stored in the memory unit 113 to the reproduced video construction server 120. Also, based on the control of the control unit 111, the communication unit 112 transmits a reproduced video viewing request to the reproduced video sharing server 130.

The memory unit 113 stores various information. For example, the memory unit 113 stores log information under the control of the control unit 111. After the stored log information is transmitted to the reproduced video construction server 120, the memory unit 113 may erase the transmitted log information under the control of the control unit 111. The memory unit 113 also stores a game app for a game provided by the terminal device 110. The memory unit 113 also stores an SDK (Software Development Kit) that enables the control unit 111 to execute control related to the recording of log information.

The display unit 114 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or an inorganic EL display. The display unit 114 displays various information. For example, the display unit 114 displays a game screen according to the progress of the game. The display unit 114 also displays re-created videos provided by the re-created video sharing server 130.

The input unit 115 accepts operation input from the user. The input unit 115 may be composed of operation buttons (operation keys). If the terminal device 110 has a touch panel, the touch panel functions as the input unit 115 by detecting contact with the user's finger, a stylus pen, or the like and accepting the operation input.

The reproduced video construction server 120 constructs a reproduced video of the game played by the user based on the log information received from the terminal device 110. The reproduced video construction server 120 includes a control unit 121, a communication unit 122, and a storage unit 123.

The control unit 121 is a processor that controls and manages the entire reproduction video construction server 120, including each functional block of the reproduction video construction server 120. In this embodiment, the control unit 121 includes a reproduction video construction unit 124 that executes the construction process of the reproduction video based on the log information. The reproduction video construction unit 124 executes the construction process of the reproduction video using an application capable of constructing a reproduction video based on the log information. Such an application is stored in the storage unit 123, for example. Specifically, the reproduction video construction unit 124 constructs the reproduction video by reproducing the game screen displayed during game play with reference to the log information. The reproduction video construction unit 124 constructs the reproduction video as a general-purpose video file that is different from the game screen, for example. This makes it easier for users who have a terminal device 110 that does not have dedicated software installed to play specific files to view the reproduction video, making it easier for more users to view the reproduction video.

The reproduction video construction unit 124 may construct a reproduction video by other methods. For example, the reproduction video construction unit 124 may construct a reproduction video by playing back a game video and capturing the played back game video by executing a process similar to the process related to the progress of the game performed by the terminal device 110 based on the log information.

The reproduced video constructing unit 124 also constructs information about the progress of the reproduced video constructed as metadata based on the log information, and associates the created metadata with the reproduced video constructed. The metadata is used, for example, when the user makes a request to view a reproduced video using the terminal device 110, and selects or searches for the reproduced video that the user wishes to view.

The metadata includes information on game media parameters, such as the names of skills, which will be described later. The metadata may also include predetermined information based on the operation of a user who played the game or a user who viewed the reproduced video. The metadata includes, for example, the game title related to the game screen reproduced by the reproduced video and information on the user who played the game. The information on the user who played the game includes, for example, information on parameters associated with the user, such as the user's level in the game, and information on the game media used by the user in the game. The information on the user may also include information (sensor information) acquired from an application other than the application for performing the reproduction video construction process, or from a predetermined sensor. Specifically, the information on the user may be information acquired from, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) or a vibration sensor equipped in the terminal device 110. By including these pieces of information in the metadata, more detailed information on the user can be associated with the reproduced video. Furthermore, a user who wishes to view the reproduced video can specify a reproduction video viewing request specifying more detailed information.

The metadata may also include information on the game progress and information on the game progress time. The information on the game progress is associated with the game progress time at which each progress is generated. The player can view the replay video related to the specified progress content by specifying the progress content to be viewed and sending a replay video request. For example, assume that the game played on the terminal device 110 is a game in which damage is inflicted on an opponent, and the metadata includes the amount of damage inflicted on the opponent as the progress content. When the user transmits a scene in which the user inflicts damage of a predetermined amount or more from the terminal device 110 as a replay video request, the replay video sharing server 130 extracts the progress time associated with the scene in which the user inflicts damage of the specified amount or more, and the replay video of the extracted progress time is provided to the terminal device 110. When the user specifies, for example, the scene in which the greatest damage is inflicted as a replay video request, the video of the scene in which the greatest amount of damage is in the replay video is provided to the terminal device 110. In this way, the user inputs a predetermined progress content, and a replay video of the time corresponding to the progress content is provided to the user. Note that the information relating to game progress time is described as a "timestamp" in the explanation of the log information in Figure 2, which will be described later.

The reproduction video construction unit 124 may also analyze the log information or sensor information and include information based on the analysis results in the metadata. For example, the storage unit 123 stores a plurality of predetermined patterns related to the log information or sensor information, and when the reproduction video construction unit 124 determines that the acquired log information or sensor information has a predetermined correlation with any of the patterns stored in the storage unit 123, the reproduction video construction unit 124 includes information related to the pattern in the metadata. More specifically, for example, the storage unit 123 stores patterns related to the log information or sensor information for a game that can be played with one hand, and the reproduction video construction unit 124 determines that the acquired log information or sensor information has a predetermined correlation with the pattern related to the log information or sensor information for the game that can be played with one hand. In this case, the reproduction video construction unit 124 includes information indicating that the game is playable with one hand in the metadata. By including such information in the metadata, more detailed information related to the game can be associated with the reproduction video. Furthermore, a user who wishes to view the reproduction video can specify a reproduction video viewing request that specifies more detailed information.

The metadata may also include information (input information) input by the user, for example, from the terminal device 110. In addition, when other information included in the metadata including the input information is commonly included among multiple pieces of metadata, the reproduced video construction unit 124 may store a pattern of such other information in the storage unit 123. This allows the reproduced video construction unit 124 to automatically extract information to be included in the metadata based on the pattern of the other information stored in the storage unit 123.

The communication unit 122 transmits and receives various data by performing wired or wireless communication with the terminal device 110 and the reproduced video sharing server 130. The communication unit 122 receives log information from the terminal device 110, for example. The communication unit 122 also transmits, for example, a reproduced video constructed by the reproduced video construction unit 124 and metadata associated with the reproduced video to the reproduced video sharing server 130.

The memory unit 123 stores various information. In this embodiment, the memory unit 123 includes a log information memory unit 125. The log information memory unit 125 stores log information received by the reproduced video construction server 120 from the terminal device 110 under the control of the control unit 121.

The reproduced video sharing server 130 stores the reproduced videos constructed by the reproduced video construction server 120. In addition, in response to a reproduced video viewing request from the terminal device 110, the reproduced video sharing server 130 provides the stored reproduced videos to the terminal device 110 so that the user can view the reproduced videos on the terminal device 110. The reproduced video sharing server 130 includes a control unit 131, a communication unit 132, and a storage unit 133.

The control unit 131 is a processor that controls and manages the entire reproduced video sharing server 130, including each functional block of the reproduced video sharing server 130. When the reproduced video sharing server 130 receives a reproduced video and metadata from the reproduced video construction server 120, the control unit 131 stores the received reproduced video and metadata in the storage unit 133. In addition, in response to a reproduced video viewing request, the control unit 131 selects a reproduced video that is requested to be distributed in the reproduced video viewing request from among the reproduced videos stored in the storage unit 133, and provides the selected reproduced video to the terminal device 110.

The communication unit 132 transmits and receives various data by performing wired or wireless communication with the terminal device 110 and the reproduced video construction server 120. The communication unit 132 receives reproduced videos, for example, from the reproduced video construction server 120. The communication unit 132 also receives a reproduced video viewing request from the terminal device 110, and provides the reproduced video related to the reproduced video viewing request to the terminal device 110.

The storage unit 133 stores various information. In this embodiment, the storage unit 133 particularly stores the reproduced video received from the reproduced video construction server 120.

In this embodiment, as described above, the reproduced video construction server 120 and the reproduced video sharing server 130 are described as being independent and different server devices, but the information processing system 100 may be provided with a single server device having the functions of both the reproduced video construction server 120 and the reproduced video sharing server 130, instead of the reproduced video construction server 120 and the reproduced video sharing server 130.

Next, the log information will be described. The log information is data that serves as the basis for the reproduction video construction server 120 to construct a reproduction video, and is any data with a capacity smaller than that of a reproduction video. The log information is, for example, character code such as ASCII data, and in this specification, the log information will be described as ASCII data. That is, when a user starts a game using the terminal device 110, the control unit 111 starts recording the log information, which is ASCII data, in the storage unit 113. The control unit 111 may start recording the log information, for example, based on a predetermined operation by the user for recording the log information. In addition, the control unit 111 may end recording the log information, for example, when the user ends playing the game. The control unit 111 may end recording the log information, for example, based on a predetermined operation by the user for ending recording of the log information. In addition, the control unit 111 may end recording the log information, for example, when the game provided by the terminal device 110 can be divided into certain play contents, each time the game is divided into play contents. Specifically, for example, if the game provided by the terminal device 110 is a soccer game, the control unit 111 may end the recording of log information each time a match ends. In this case, after the control unit 111 ends the recording of log information, it starts recording log information for the next game to be played.

The control unit 111 of the terminal device 110 records the contents of the processing according to the contents of the game played on the terminal device 110 as log information in the storage unit 113. In the terminal device 110 of this embodiment, as an example, a game is provided in which multiple players use game media associated with each player to play against a predetermined opponent. The game media is electronic data used in the game, and includes, for example, cards, items, characters, and avatars. In addition, the game media is electronic data that can be acquired, held, used, managed, exchanged, synthesized, strengthened, sold, discarded, and/or donated by the player as the game progresses, but the manner of use of the game media is not limited to those explicitly stated in this specification. Each game medium has its own unique parameters (game media parameters). The game media parameters are the level of the game medium, the combat power of the game medium, such as the attack power and defense power, the combat means of the game medium, such as the attack means and defense means, skill information of the game medium, the skill level of the game medium, information about the avatar of the game medium, the attributes of the game medium, and an index indicating the rarity of the game medium. A skill is an ability unique to a game medium that produces a specific effect in the game, such as a special move of the game medium. An indicator of the rarity of a game medium may be expressed in a hierarchy such as normal, rare, super rare, ultra rare, etc.

Figure 2 is a diagram that shows a schematic example of log information in this embodiment. As shown in Figure 2, the log information in this embodiment includes items related to the log information, such as a timestamp, a game title ID, a device ID, a game media ID to be processed, a command, and command parameters.

The timestamp is information that indicates the date and time when the log information was processed, and is recorded in Unix time, for example.

The game title ID is information specific to each game title that uniquely identifies the game title for which the log information was processed. In other words, the game title ID indicates the game title of the game that the user played using the terminal device 110.

The device ID is information specific to each device that uniquely identifies the device that recorded the log information. In this embodiment, since the terminal device 110 records the log information, the ID associated with the terminal device 110 is recorded as the device ID.

The target game medium ID is information specific to each game medium that uniquely identifies the game medium that was the subject of game progress processing related to the log information. The example in Figure 2 shows that game progress processing was performed for the game medium associated with the ID "CID0001" and the game medium associated with the ID "CID0004".

A command is information that indicates a game progress process related to the log information. For example, the command "Move" shown in FIG. 2 indicates a process for moving the game medium on the field where the game is played, and the command "Skill" indicates a process related to a skill associated with the game medium.

The command parameters are information that indicate the content of the command related to the log information. For example, the command parameters "vx+=5,vy-=7" associated with the command "Move" in FIG. 2 indicate that the coordinates of the game medium are to be moved 5 in the positive direction on the x-axis and 7 in the negative direction on the y-axis. Also, the command parameters "SkillID=7,px=140,py=130" associated with the command "Skill" in FIG. 2 indicate that the skill associated with the ID "7" among the IDs unique to each skill is processed at a position on the field where the game is played that is specified by the x-coordinate of 140 and the y-coordinate of 130.

Therefore, to summarize, among the log information in FIG. 2, the log information relating to timestamp "1417612800" indicates that, at the date and time indicated by timestamp "1417612800", in a game with a game title of "GTID001", the terminal device 110 associated with "DID00001" performed a process of moving the game medium associated with "CID0001" on the game field by 5 in the positive direction of the x-axis and 7 in the negative direction of the y-axis. For example, if the game medium associated with "CID0001" is the game medium associated with a user playing the game using the terminal device 110, the control unit 111 performs the process of such movement based on an input operation from the user to the input unit 115, and records log information relating to the process of the movement.

Among the log information in FIG. 2, the log information relating to timestamp "1417612801" indicates that, at the date and time indicated by timestamp "1417612801", in a game with a game title of "GTID001", terminal device 110 associated with "DID00001" processed a skill associated with ID "7" for game medium associated with "CID0004", at a position on the field where the game is played that is specified by x coordinate 140 and y coordinate 130. For example, if the game medium associated with "CID0004" is game medium that is automatically operated by control unit 111 of terminal device 110, when control unit 111 operates the game medium itself, it processes the skill and records a log relating to the skill processing.

Note that the log information shown in FIG. 2 is an example. The log information is not limited to that shown in FIG. 2. Furthermore, the items related to the log information are not limited to the timestamp, game title ID, device ID, game media ID to be processed, command, and command parameters shown in FIG. 2. The log information may include other items depending on the content of the game played on the terminal device 110, etc.

The log information recorded in this manner is transmitted as ASCII data from the terminal device 110 to the reproduction video construction server 120 based on the user's operation or automatically. In this embodiment, since the log information is ASCII data, the recorded series of log information may be divided into multiple pieces and transmitted to the reproduction video construction server 120.

When the reproduced video construction server 120 receives log information from the terminal device 110, the control unit 121 stores the received log information in the log information storage unit 125.

Then, the reproduction video construction unit 124 executes the construction process of the reproduction video based on the log information stored in the log information storage unit 125. Specifically, the reproduction video construction unit 124 executes the construction process of the reproduction video by reproducing the progress of the game as a video, using the game medium recorded as the log information, in accordance with the commands and command parameters recorded as the log information, along with the timestamps recorded as the log information.

The constructed reproduced video is transmitted from the reproduced video construction server 120 to the reproduced video sharing server 130 and stored in the memory unit 133.

Next, with reference to FIG. 3, an example of a series of operations for constructing and providing a reproduced video in the information processing system 100 according to the first embodiment will be described.

First, the terminal device 110 receives an input to start the game through the control unit 111 based on a predetermined input operation from the user to start the game (step S101). When the terminal device 110 receives the input to start the game, the control unit 111 starts recording log information (step S102). Then, when the user finishes playing the game and performs a predetermined input operation to end the game, the terminal device 110 receives an input to end the game through the control unit 111 based on the user's input operation (step S103). When the terminal device 110 receives the input to end the game, the control unit 111 ends recording of the log information. The terminal device 110 transmits the recorded log information from the communication unit 112 to the reproduced video construction server 120 (step S105).

When the reproduced video construction server 120 receives the log information from the terminal device 110 via the communication unit 122, the control unit 121 stores the received log information in the log information storage unit 125 (step S106). Then, the reproduced video construction server 120 constructs a reproduced video and metadata using the reproduced video construction unit 124 based on the log information stored in the log information storage unit 125 (step S107). The reproduced video construction server 120 transmits the reproduced video and metadata constructed in step S108 from the communication unit 122 to the reproduced video sharing server 130 (step S108).

When the reproduced video sharing server 130 receives the reproduced video and metadata from the reproduced video construction server 120 via the communication unit 132, the control unit 131 stores the received reproduced video and metadata in the storage unit 133 (step S109).

Then, when the user performs a predetermined input operation to send a request to view the reproduced video using the terminal device 110, the terminal device 110 sends the request to view the reproduced video from the communication unit 112 to the reproduced video sharing server 130 (step S110).

When the reproduced video sharing server 130 receives a reproduced video viewing request from the terminal device 110, the control unit 131 selects the reproduced video requested for distribution in the reproduced video viewing request (step S111). Then, the reproduced video sharing server 130 provides the selected reproduced video to the terminal device 110 via the communication unit 132 (step S110).

As described above, according to the information processing system 100 of this embodiment, the terminal device 110 records information about the game screen as log information, which is ASCII data, and transmits the log information to the reproduced video construction server 120. The reproduced video construction server 120 constructs a reproduced video based on the log information, and transmits the constructed reproduced video to the reproduced video sharing server 130. In this way, when a user uploads a reproduced video to the reproduced video sharing server 130, the terminal device 110 transmits log information, which is ASCII data, to the reproduced video construction server 120. Therefore, compared to the case where the reproduced video is directly transmitted and uploaded, the amount of data transmitted by the terminal device 110 is smaller, and the time required to transmit data from the terminal device 110 is shorter. Therefore, according to the information processing system 100, it is possible to reduce the inconvenience felt by the user.

As described above, the terminal device 110 records information about the game screen as log information, which is ASCII data, while the user is playing the game, so the processing load on the terminal device 110 tends to be lighter than when the game screen itself is recorded by video recording or the like. In addition, the information stored in the memory unit 123 of the reproduced video construction server 120 is also log information, so the capacity is smaller than when the game screen itself is stored. Therefore, more information can be stored, such as information about the progress of a game played by the same user over a long period of time, or information about the processing of a game played by multiple users.

In addition, because the reproduced video construction server 120 constructs game videos in a general-purpose video file format, even users who do not actually play the game but only view the reproduced video can view the reproduced video using a general-purpose video playback tool or browser, even if they do not own the game that was played or a dedicated tool for viewing the game video.

Furthermore, a user viewing a reenactment video can search for a reenactment video by referring to detailed information contained in the metadata. Therefore, a user can search for a reenactment video even if he or she does not have specific information about a particular reenactment video. For example, even if a user only has an image of the game they wish to view (e.g., a game that is completed in a short time, a game that requires a certain number of input operations or less during game play, or a role-playing game, etc.) and has not yet decided on the title of the game they wish to view, they can search across reenactment videos of multiple games based on log information or sensor information, etc.

In addition, with the information processing system 100 according to this embodiment, the user does not need to simultaneously record the playback video while playing the game, thereby reducing the hassle for the user.

In addition, since the log information is ASCII data, the terminal device 110 can also divide the recorded log information and transmit the log information in multiple installments.

Second Embodiment
In the first embodiment, a case has been described in which the reproduced video constructing unit 124 constructs a reproduced video based on log information stored in the log information storage unit 125. In the second embodiment, a case has been described in which the reproduced video constructing unit 124 constructs a reproduced video based on a reproduced video construction condition stored in a reproduced video construction condition storage unit 126 further provided in the storage unit 123 in addition to the log information stored in the log information storage unit 125.

Figure 4 is a functional block diagram of the main parts of an information processing system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the information processing system 100 according to the second embodiment, the memory unit 123 of the reproduced video construction server 120 includes a reproduced video construction condition memory unit 126 in addition to a log information memory unit 125. Below, a description of the same points as in the first embodiment will be omitted, and only the differences will be described.

The reproduced video construction condition storage unit 126 stores the reproduced video construction conditions. The reproduced video construction conditions are predetermined conditions related to the reproduced video constructed by the reproduced video construction unit 124. The reproduced video construction conditions are, for example, input by the user using the input unit 115 of the terminal device 110, and transmitted from the communication unit 112 to the reproduced video construction server 120. The reproduced video construction condition storage unit 126 stores in advance the reproduced video construction conditions received from the terminal device 110 under the control of the control unit 121.

In the second embodiment, the reproduced video constructing unit 124 constructs a reproduced video based on the log information stored in the log information storage unit 125 and the reproduced video construction conditions stored in the reproduced video construction condition storage unit 126. Below, the reproduced video construction conditions and the reproduced video to be constructed are described with examples.

The reproduction video construction condition refers to, for example, any item related to the log information and extracts log information that satisfies a specific condition. Here, the log information shown in FIG. 2 is stored in the log information storage unit 125. For example, the user operates the terminal device 110 to input a reproduction video construction condition to extract log information whose game media ID to be processed is "CID0001". In this case, when constructing a reproduction video, the reproduction video construction unit 124 refers to the reproduction video construction condition and extracts log information whose game media ID to be processed is "CID0001" from the log information. Then, the reproduction video construction unit 124 constructs a reproduction video based on the extracted log information. The reproduction video construction unit 124 may construct a reproduction video including processing related to the log information by constructing a reproduction video of a predetermined time before and after the extracted log information. The predetermined time may be stored in the storage unit 123 in advance, or may be determined based on a user's input to the input unit 115. In this example, the reproduced video constructing unit 124 constructs a reproduced video for a game medium with an ID of "CID0001", so the reproduced video that is constructed is composed of videos related to the game medium with an ID of "CID0001".

As another example, suppose that the user operates the terminal device 110 to input a reproduction video construction condition to extract log information with the command "Skill". In this case, when constructing a reproduction video, the reproduction video construction unit 124 refers to the reproduction video construction condition and extracts log information with the command "Skill" from the log information. Then, the reproduction video construction unit 124 constructs a reproduction video based on the extracted log information. In this example, the reproduction video construction unit 124 constructs a reproduction video for processing the "Skill" command, so the constructed reproduction video is composed of videos related to skills by each game medium in the game. The user can also construct a game image for a specific skill by specifically specifying "SKillID" as the reproduction video construction condition. In this way, the user can construct a reproduction video that extracts a scene that the user particularly wants to view from, for example, a game screen.

Examples of cases in which the reproduced video construction conditions cause log information that satisfies a specific condition to be extracted are not limited to the above examples. The user may set reproduced video construction conditions for any other item related to log information so as to extract log information that satisfies a specific condition. For example, the user can set reproduced video construction conditions for timestamps to extract log information for a specific period, thereby constructing a reproduced video in which the specific period has been trimmed. With such reproduced video construction conditions, the user can create a reproduced video of a specific scene from the entire game played. For example, if the user is a company that provides games, when creating a video to introduce the game for sales promotion, the user can create a reproduced video of a scene that stimulates the desire to purchase the game among game consumers.

In addition, for example, a user can set a reproduction video creation condition that extracts log information other than log information from a specified period as the reproduction video creation condition, thereby creating a reproduction video from the entire game played, excluding a scene that the user does not wish to share. Therefore, for example, if the user is a company that provides games, when creating a video to introduce the game for sales promotion purposes, the user can create a reproduction video that excludes a scene that the user does not wish to be known.

The reproduction video construction condition may be, for example, a condition that replaces a predetermined process related to log information with another format. For example, when a cruel image is displayed on the game screen of a process related to a skill with a skill ID of "SkillID=7", the user can set a reproduction video construction condition that replaces the expression of the skill with "SkillID=7" with another format that does not display cruel images as the reproduction video construction condition. In this case, when constructing a reproduction video, the reproduction video construction unit 124 refers to the reproduction video construction condition and extracts the log information in which the process of "SkillID=7" was performed from the log information. Then, in constructing a reproduction video based on the extracted log information, the expression of the skill on the game screen is replaced with the expression specified by the user as the reproduction video construction condition to construct a reproduction video. As a result, even if a cruel image is displayed in a game when the game is actually played, a reproduction video that does not include the cruel image can be constructed. This is particularly effective, for example, when there is a possibility that the reproduction video may be shared with children who should not be shown cruel images, because a reproduction video that does not include cruel images can be constructed.

In addition, the user can set a reproduction video construction condition that constructs a reproduction video by replacing the game medium corresponding to a specific game medium ID to be processed with another form (appearance) different from that of the game played. For example, when the user sets such a reproduction video construction condition for the game medium "CID0001", the reproduction video construction unit 124 constructs a reproduction video so that the game medium "CID0001" is displayed in a form different from that in the game actually played. For example, if the game medium "CID0001" is a character, depending on the reproduction video construction condition, the character in the constructed reproduction video is displayed as a character different from the character displayed as the game screen of the game actually played, or the character in the constructed reproduction video is displayed in a costume different from that displayed in the game actually played. This allows the user to display the content of the game played in the reproduction video in a form different from that of the game screen, and thus enjoy the change in form in the reproduction video.

In addition, if the user sets a reproduction video construction condition that constructs a reproduction video by making a game medium with a specific game medium ID semi-transparent or transparent, for example, the reproduction video construction unit 124 constructs a reproduction video in which the specific game medium is displayed semi-transparently or transparently based on the reproduction video construction condition. In this way, the user can change the display mode for each game medium. Depending on the designation of the game medium to be displayed semi-transparently or transparently in the reproduction video construction condition, the reproduction video construction unit 124 can construct a reproduction video that draws attention to a specific game medium that is not semi-transparent or transparent.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, an example of a series of operations for constructing and providing a reproduced video in the information processing system 100 according to the second embodiment will be described.

First, the terminal device 110 accepts input of reproduced video construction conditions through the control unit 111 based on a predetermined input operation for inputting reproduced video construction conditions from the user (step S201). Upon accepting the input of reproduced video construction conditions, the terminal device 110 transmits the reproduced video construction conditions from the communication unit 112 to the reproduced video construction server 120 (step S202).

When the reproduced video construction server 120 receives the reproduced video construction conditions from the terminal device 110 via the communication unit 122, the control unit 121 stores the received reproduced video construction conditions in the reproduced video construction condition storage unit 126 (step S203).

Then, the terminal device 110 receives an input to start the game through the control unit 111 based on a predetermined input operation from the user to start the game (step S204). The subsequent steps S205 to S209 are similar to steps S102 to S106 in FIG. 3, respectively, and therefore will not be described here.

When the reproduced video construction server 120 stores the log information in step S209, it constructs a reproduced video and metadata based on the log information stored in the log information storage unit 125 and the reproduced video construction conditions stored in the reproduced video construction condition storage unit 126 (step S210). The reproduced video construction server 120 transmits the reproduced video and metadata constructed in step S108 from the communication unit 122 to the reproduced video sharing server 130 (step S211). Subsequent steps S212 to S215 are similar to steps S109 to S112 in FIG. 3, respectively, and therefore will not be described here.

As described above, according to the information processing system 100 of this embodiment, the user can input reproduced video construction conditions using the terminal device 110. The reproduced video construction server 120 receives the reproduced video construction conditions input by the user to the terminal device 110, and constructs a reproduced video based on the log information and the reproduced video construction conditions. Therefore, the user can construct a desired reproduced video by setting the reproduced video construction conditions.

In addition, in the information processing system 100, information related to the game screen is recorded as log information, so as long as the log information is stored in the memory unit 123 of the reproduced video construction server 120, the user can create reproduced videos with various conditions by setting the reproduced video construction conditions, without having to play the game again and record the game screen.

Third Embodiment
In the first and second embodiments, a case has been described in which the control unit 111 of the terminal device 110 records log information in the storage unit 113 and transmits the recorded log information to the reproduced video construction server 120. In the third embodiment, a case will be described in which the control unit 111 transmits log information from the communication unit 112 to the reproduced video construction server 120 every time the control unit 111 executes a process related to the progress of the game.

The functional block diagram of the main parts of the information processing system according to the third embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 4. Here, the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1. In the third embodiment, when a user is playing a game using the terminal device 110, the control unit 111 transmits log information from the communication unit 112 to the reproduced video construction server 120 each time the control unit 111 performs processing related to the progress of the game. For example, the control unit 111 transmits log information from the communication unit 112 to the reproduced video construction server 120 from the time the user starts the game until the game is ended. That is, when the control unit 111 receives an input of the end of the game based on a predetermined input operation by the user to the terminal device 110, the control unit 111 ends the transmission of the log information. For example, the control unit 111 may end the transmission of the log information based on a predetermined operation by the user to end the recording of the log information. When the control unit 111 ends the transmission of the log information, the control unit 111 may transmit an end notification indicating that the transmission of the log information has ended from the terminal device 110 to the reproduced video construction server 120.

When the reproduced video construction server 120 receives log information from the terminal device 110, the control unit 121 stores the received log information in the log information storage unit 125. The reproduced video construction unit 124 constructs a reproduced video based on the log information stored in the log information storage unit 125.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, an example of a series of operations for constructing and providing a reproduced video in the information processing system 100 according to the third embodiment will be described.

First, the terminal device 110 receives an input to start the game through the control unit 111 based on a predetermined input operation from the user to start the game (step S301). When the game is started in this manner, the control unit 111 executes a process related to the progress of the game (step S302). Each time the control unit 111 executes a process related to the progress of the game in step S302, it transmits log information related to the process from the communication unit 112 to the reproduced video construction server 120 (step S303).

When the reproduced video construction server 120 receives the log information from the terminal device 110, it stores the received log information in the log information storage unit 125 (step S304).

In addition, in the terminal device 110, the control unit 111 determines whether or not an input to end the game has been received (step S305). If the control unit 111 determines that an input to end the game has not been received (No in step S305), the flow proceeds to step S302, where the control unit 111 executes processing related to the progress of the game. On the other hand, if the control unit 111 determines that an input to end the game has been received (Yes in step S305), it transmits an end notification from the communication unit 112 to the reproduced video construction server 120 (step S306).

Upon receiving the end notification, the reproduced video construction server 120 constructs a reproduced video and metadata based on the log information stored in the log information storage unit 125 (step S307). The subsequent steps S309 to S312 are similar to steps S109 to S112 in FIG. 1, respectively, and therefore will not be described here.

As described above, according to the information processing system 100 of this embodiment, when the terminal device 110 executes a process related to the progress of the game, it transmits log information related to the process to the reproduced video construction server 120. As a result, even if the user does not perform an operation to transmit log information from the terminal device 110 to the reproduced video construction server 120, a reproduced video that reproduces the game screen of the game played by the user is shared on the reproduced video sharing server 130. In other words, the information processing system 100 of this embodiment allows the user to share a reproduced video without even feeling the time it takes to upload the reproduced video.

In so-called real-time multiplayer games in which multiple users play against each other or cooperate with each other simultaneously, log information from multiple users is required to create a reproduced video, and therefore the information processing system 100 according to the third embodiment is effective.

Although the present invention has been described above based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that a person skilled in the art would easily be able to make various modifications and amendments based on this disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and amendments are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to cause logical inconsistencies, and multiple means, steps, etc. can be combined into one or divided.

For example, in the second embodiment, if the log information includes items other than those shown in FIG. 2 depending on the content of the game played on the terminal device 110, the user can set the reproduced video construction conditions for these other items.

For example, if the game played on the terminal device 110 is a game that is displayed in three dimensions, the log information may include viewpoint information related to the viewpoint displayed as the game screen on the display unit 114 of the terminal device 110. If the user sets a reproduction video construction condition that changes the viewpoint and constructs a reproduction video, for example, the reproduction video construction unit 124 constructs a reproduction video from a specific viewpoint specified by the user. By changing the viewpoint in this way, for example, if the game played on the terminal device 110 is an action game or a sports game, the user can view a reproduction video in which the actions in the game are viewed from a desired position.

For example, if the game played on the terminal device 110 has a chat function that displays chats between multiple players, the log information may include chat information related to chats displayed on the game screen in the game on the terminal device 110. For example, if the user sets a reproduced video construction condition that causes a reproduced video to be constructed with chats displayed or hidden, the reproduced video construction unit 124 constructs a reproduced video with chats displayed or hidden according to the reproduced video construction condition. The user may also set a reproduced video construction condition that causes only a specific chat to be displayed. In this case, the reproduced video construction unit 124 constructs a reproduced video with only the specific chat displayed.

For example, the log information may also include input operation information. The input operation information is information relating to an input operation performed by the user on the input unit 115 in a game. For example, if the input unit 115 is an operation button, the input operation information is information identifying the button pressed by the user, and if the input unit 115 is realized by a touch panel, the input operation information is information relating to an operation, such as a touch operation or a flick operation, performed by the user on the touch panel, and the position (coordinates) of the touch panel where the operation was performed.

When a user sets a reproduction video construction condition that displays input operation information, for example, the reproduction video construction unit 124 constructs a reproduction video that includes the input operation information. In other words, for example, when a game played on the terminal device 110 progresses based on input operations on a touch panel, the constructed reproduction video includes operations such as touch operations and flick operations performed by the user in the game, and the positions on the touch panel where the operations were performed. Therefore, a user who views the constructed video can know what input operations were performed as a result, what processing was performed, and how the game progressed.

In addition, when including input operation information in a reproduced video, the user may set a reproduced video construction condition that causes the input operation information to be displayed a predetermined time (e.g., one second) before the input operation. In this case, in the reproduced video constructed by the reproduced video construction unit 124, an operation performed by the user in the game is displayed a predetermined time before the operation is performed. Therefore, a user who views the constructed reproduced video can know what input operation is the basis for the process that appears in the reproduced video after the predetermined time.

In the second embodiment, the user may input the reproduction video construction conditions to the terminal device 110 after the log information is transmitted from the terminal device 110 to the reproduction video construction server 120. The input reproduction video construction conditions are transmitted from the terminal device 110 to the reproduction video construction server 120 and stored in the reproduction video construction condition storage unit 126. The reproduction video construction unit 124 then constructs a reproduction video based on the newly stored reproduction video construction conditions. In this way, even after the log information is transmitted, the user can input the reproduction video construction conditions to the terminal device 110 to have the reproduction video construction server 120 construct the reproduction video that the user wishes to construct. This is particularly effective when setting the reproduction video construction conditions that the user wishes to construct after the log information is transmitted from the terminal device 110 to the reproduction video construction server 120.

In addition, in the first to third embodiments, when a user views a re-enacted video, the user may specify a predetermined viewing condition for viewing. The viewing condition is a condition that specifies a predetermined part of the re-enacted video that the user has selected to view. When the user specifies the viewing condition, the terminal device 110 refers to the metadata associated with the re-enacted video provided by the re-enacted video sharing server 130, extracts the scene specified as the viewing condition, and displays it on the display unit 114. In this way, the user can specify a desired scene from the re-enacted video to view.

In the first to third embodiments, the reproduction video construction server 120 may be a dedicated server capable of constructing reproduction videos relating to one game title, or may be a server capable of constructing reproduction videos relating to multiple game titles. When the reproduction video construction server 120 is configured to be capable of constructing reproduction videos relating to multiple game titles, the reproduction video construction unit 124 identifies the game title played by the user on the terminal device 110 by referring to the "game title ID" in the log information shown in FIG. 2. Then, the reproduction video is constructed based on a file for constructing a reproduction video corresponding to the identified game title, which has been stored in advance in the storage unit 123.

In addition, in the information processing system 100 according to the above embodiment, the game progress screen can be a web display displayed on the terminal device 110 based on data generated by a specific server device, and other menu screens and the like can be native displays displayed by a native application installed on the terminal device 110. In this way, the information processing system 100 can be a hybrid game in which the server device and the terminal device 110 each handle part of the processing.

In addition, an information processing device such as a computer or a mobile phone can be suitably used to function as the reproduction video construction server 120 according to the above embodiment. Such an information processing device can be realized by storing a program describing the processing contents for realizing each function of the reproduction video construction server 120 according to the above embodiment in the memory unit 123 of the reproduction video construction server 120, and having the CPU of the reproduction video construction server 120 read and execute the program.
