Claims (7)

1. An information processing system, It is configured to perform the following steps: In the progression step, the game progresses in the virtual space based on the player's game actions. In the output step, first distribution data for distributing a video showing the game screen in which the game is in progress is output to the video distribution site. In the acquisition step, the uploader's submissions for the video are acquired from the video distribution site. In the display step, the post is displayed in the virtual space of the game which is distributed as a video. It is a thing, In the acquisition step, the following are further acquired in association with the post: identification information that identifies the poster of the post and optional information associated with the post . In the display step, the identification information is associated with an object that can be placed as an object in the virtual space, thereby displaying the post inside the object, and the display mode of the post is determined based on the option information. Configured to perform further setup steps, In the acquisition step, identification information is further acquired to identify the poster of the post, in association with the post. In the display step, the post is displayed in association with the object by associating the identification information with the object placed in the virtual space. In the setting step, if the option information satisfies predetermined conditions, a second virtual camera, different from the first virtual camera used to provide the player with the game screen, is set on the object in the virtual space. In the output step, second distribution data is output to the video distribution site for causing the poster, identified by the identification information associated with the post, to distribute a video showing the game screen based on the second virtual camera. thing.
2. In the information processing system described in claim 1, The aforementioned post includes information representing the poster, thing.
3. In the information processing system according to claim 1 or claim 2, It is configured to further execute the first reception step, In the first reception step, the game operation is received from the player, specifying at least one of the objects or posts displayed in the virtual space. In the output step, effect data is output to the video distribution site for distributing the video with special effects to the poster identified based on the identification information associated with the specified object or post. thing.
4. In the information processing system described in claim 1 , The aforementioned optional information includes information regarding charges made by the poster to the player, thing.
5. In the information processing system described in claim 1 , It is configured to further execute the second reception step, In the second reception step, the game operation is received that specifies the object on which the second virtual camera is set. In the output step, in response to the game operation received in the second reception step, third distribution data is output to the video distribution site to cause the poster to distribute a video showing the game screen based on the first virtual camera instead of the game screen based on the second virtual camera. thing.
6. It is a program, The computer is made to perform each step of the information processing system described in any one of claims 1 to 5 . thing.
7. Information processing method, The information processing system comprises each step of any one of claims 1 to 5 . method.

Description

This invention relates to an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program. In recent years, communication systems and methods have been disclosed that allow content providers to communicate with users while simultaneously distributing content (Patent Document 1). Japanese Patent Publication No. 2011-172200 This is a diagram showing the configuration of the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment.This is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of server device 2.This is a block diagram showing the functions implemented by the control unit 23 in the server device 2 according to this embodiment.This is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the game device 5.This diagram shows the functions realized by the control unit 56 in the game device 5 according to this embodiment.This flowchart shows an example of the information processing flow performed by information processing system 1.This is an example of a video viewing screen 7 displayed on viewing device 4.This is an example of a video viewing screen 8 displayed on viewing device 4.This is an example of a video viewing screen 9 displayed on viewing device 4.This flowchart shows an example of the information processing flow performed by information processing system 1.This is an example of a video viewing screen 10 displayed on the viewing device 4.This is an example of a video viewing screen 11 displayed on the viewing device 4. [Embodiment] Embodiments of this disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. The various features shown in the embodiments below are interchangeable. Incidentally, the program for implementing the software described in this embodiment may be provided as a computer-readable non-transitor-readable medium, or it may be provided as a downloadable file from an external server, or it may be provided so that the program is launched on an external computer and its functions are realized on a client terminal (so-called cloud computing). Furthermore, in this embodiment, "part" may include, for example, hardware resources implemented by a broad-sense circuit and the information processing of software that can be specifically realized by these hardware resources. Also, in this embodiment, various types of information are handled, and this information can be represented, for example, by the physical values of signal values representing voltage and current, the high or low values of signal values as a set of binary bits composed of 0s or 1s, or by quantum superposition (so-called qubits), and communication and calculations can be performed on a broad-sense circuit. Furthermore, a circuit in a broad sense refers to a circuit realized by combining at least an appropriate combination of circuits, circuits, processors, and memory. That is, it includes application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), programmable logic devices (e.g., simple programmable logic devices (SPLDs), complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)), etc.). 1. Game Description Figure 1 is a configuration diagram representing the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment. In the information processing system 1 shown in Figure 1, a server device 2, a video distribution site 3, multiple viewing terminals 4, and a game device 5 are connected to each other via a communication network 6 so that they can communicate with one another, and the game is executed on the game device 5. The game according to this embodiment is an online game executed on the information processing system 1. In this game, the player P of the game device 5 makes one or more player character PCs active in the game's virtual space, and has the player character PCs fight against enemy characters, which are non-player characters. The games described above are played using a game device 5, which is a home game console such as PlayStation®, a portable game console such as Nintendo Switch®, or an electronic device such as a personal computer, smartphone, or tablet. The following example illustrates the case where the game device 5 is a home game console. 2. Overview of Information Processing System 1 As shown in Figure 1, Information Processing System 1 comprises a server device 2, a video distribution site 3, multiple viewing terminals 4, and a game device 5, all connected via a communication network 6.
