The memory control module 2033 also receives information such as the company and name of the reporter who asked the question, and stores the received information in the text information database 2021.

The state management module 2034 manages the character information received from the viewer. Specifically, the state management module 2034 manages the character information, the state of the character information, and the like according to, for example, a predetermined operation of the user. The state of the character information is, for example, a first state in which the character information is managed as a selection target and / or an edit target, a second state in which the character information is managed as a confirmation target before being transmitted to the monitor 30, and the character information is managed in the monitor 30. Includes a third state managed as a transmitted display target. The predetermined operation is, for example, as follows.
-Operation to select character information-Operation to edit character information-Operation to confirm editing of character information (transition operation from the first state to the second state)
-Operation to cancel edit confirmation (transition operation from the second state to the first state)
-Operation to send character information to the monitor 30 (transition operation from the second state to the third state)
-Operation to delete the character information displayed on the monitor 30

The state management module 2034 stores the state of the character information in the text information database 2021. The state management module 2034 updates the state of the character information in response to the operation of the state transition from the user. As a result, the updated state is stored in the text information database 2021.

Specifically, the state management module 2034 sets a predetermined threshold value for the number of characters, and specifies the size of the characters to be displayed on the monitor 30 according to the number of analyzed characters. Here, a plurality of predetermined threshold values may be set. For example, when the number of characters is less than the first threshold value, when the number of characters is equal to or more than the first threshold value and less than the second threshold value, a plurality of threshold values may be set. The specified character size is stored in the text information database 2021.

The presentation module 2035 presents a management image of character information to the user of the terminal device 10A. Specifically, for example, the presentation module 2035 causes the terminal device 10A to display a management image in which the input person of the character information, the character information, and the state of the character information can be grasped.

More specifically, for example, the presentation module 2035 causes the character information to be displayed in different modes depending on the state of the character state in the management image. Different embodiments are, for example:
・ Different colors ・ Different fonts ・ Different sizes

As a result, the server 20 can prevent the character information received from the viewer from being repeatedly selected or repeatedly edited, and allow the user to accurately grasp the content to be transmitted to the monitor 30. .. Further, since the server 20 adjusts the character size on the monitor 30 according to the number of characters, even if the number of characters changes due to editing, the server 20 automatically adjusts the size to a size suitable for the speaker to visually recognize. It becomes possible. Therefore, for example, even if the number of characters increases due to editing, the character information is not cut off, so that confirmation of the content, misunderstanding, etc. can be prevented, and a press conference or the like can be held smoothly.

In addition to the system 1 that transmits character information to the monitor 30, there may be a system (not shown) that inserts the character information transmitted to the monitor 30 as a telop into a moving image to be viewed by a viewer. For example, when the character information is transmitted to the monitor 30, the telop insertion system inserts the transmitted character information, that is, the same character information as the character information displayed on the monitor 30 into the moving image. Therefore, in the telop insertion system, it is necessary to know the timing at which the character information is transmitted to the monitor 30. The presentation module 2035 causes the terminal device 10A as a component of the telop insertion system to display, for example, a management image for managing the timing at which the character information is transmitted to the monitor 30. At this time, the management image displayed on the terminal device 10A is an image for measuring the timing of inserting the character information as a telop into the video being viewed by the viewer. Specifically, for example, when the character information is transmitted to the monitor 30, the presentation module 2035 switches the mode of displaying the character information to a mode in which the transmission to the monitor 30 can be identified.

As a result, the server 20 can accurately inform the user of the timing at which the character information is transmitted to the monitor 30. Therefore, the server 20 can prevent the insertion of the telop from deviating from the content of the moving image.

<3 Summary>
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an outline of the system 1. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the viewer B is watching the lecture of the speaker C at the online meeting by using the terminal device 10B. Viewer B transmits text information such as questions and comments regarding the lecture being viewed from the terminal device 10B to the server 20.

The server 20 manages the character information received from a plurality of viewers including the viewer B in the text information database 2021 including the state of the character information. The server 20 presents a management image for managing the character information to the user A who is involved in the meeting held online. The server 20 receives operations such as selection, editing, and confirmation of editing of character information from the terminal device 10A operated by the user A. The server 20 transmits the character information whose editing has been confirmed to the monitor 30 visually recognized by the speaker C in response to the instruction from the user A.

The user A can grasp the character information and the state of the character information from the management image displayed on the terminal device 10A. User A selects and edits character information while checking the management image. The user A transmits the edited character information from the server 20 to the monitor 30 while checking the management image. When the character information is transmitted to the monitor 30, the character information displayed on the monitor 30 is displayed in the management image.

As a result, the server 20 can present the character information received from the viewer to the user A in a different display mode according to the state transition at a meeting such as a press conference held online. Therefore, the server 20 can make the user A accurately grasp the state of the character information.

The user A can visually grasp which state the displayed character information is currently in, for example, before editing, confirmed editing, transmitted, and the like. As a result, the user A can prevent the user A from transmitting unintended character information to the monitor 30, such as transmitting the character information received from the viewer to the monitor 30 without confirming it, or transmitting the character information received from the viewer to the monitor 30 with erroneous editing. can.
Therefore, the user A can accurately convey the question from the viewer to the speaker.

<4 operation>
Hereinafter, a series of processes when the server 20 receives the character information and transmits the edited character information to the speaker will be described.

<4.1 Acceptance and editing of character information>
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a process in which the control unit 203 of the server 20 accepts the input of the character information from the viewer and receives the editing operation of the character information from the user.

In step S701, the control unit 203 receives the character information from the viewer. Specifically, the control unit 203 receives, for example, input of character information such as a question and a comment for the speaker's lecture from the viewer. At this time, when accepting the input of the character information, the control unit 203 may accept the input of information about the viewer, for example, information such as the media to which the user belongs and the name. The control unit 203 stores the date and time when the character information is received, the information about the viewer, and the received character information in the text information database 2021.

In step S702, the control unit 203 sets the character information in the first state, assuming that the character information is in the state of the selection target and the editing target. The control unit 203 stores the set management state in the text information database 2021.

In step S703, the control unit 203 acquires the number of characters in the character information. The control unit 203 determines the character size to be displayed on the monitor 30 based on the acquired number of characters. The control unit 203 stores the acquired number of characters and the determined size in the text information database 2021.

In step S704, the control unit 203 presents the received character information to the user so that the character information can be grasped as the first state. Specifically, the control unit 203 displays the character information received from the viewer on the display of the terminal device 10A in a manner in which the character information can be seen as a selection target and / or an editing target.

In step S705, the control unit 203 receives a character information editing operation and a selection operation from the user. Specifically, for example, the user confirms whether the character information displayed on the display of the terminal device 10A is properly expressed, whether there is a typographical error, whether the intention is expressed in an easy-to-understand manner, and the like. When the user determines that it is necessary to edit the character information, the user inputs an editing operation to the terminal device 10A. When the control unit 203 receives an edit operation from the user, the control unit 203 stores the edited character information in the text information database 2021.

In step S706, the control unit 203 acquires the number of characters in the character information. The control unit 203 determines the character size to be displayed on the monitor 30 based on the acquired number of characters. The control unit 203 stores the acquired number of characters and the determined size in the text information database 2021.

In addition, the user selects character information to be displayed on the monitor 30 from a plurality of input character information. At this time, the selected character information may be the character information before editing or the character information after editing. The character information to be displayed may be selected by the user, may be selected by a person other than the user, or may be automatically selected by a predetermined function. When the user selects the character information to be displayed, the user inputs the selection operation to the terminal device 10A. When the control unit 203 receives the selection operation from the user, the control unit 203 manages the selected character information as the character information of the display candidate.

In step S707, the control unit 203 receives an operation of confirming editing from the user. Specifically, for example, the user confirms the character information for which the editing operation has been input in step S703, and then inputs the editing confirmation operation when it is determined that further editing is not necessary.

In step S708, when the control unit 203 receives the operation of confirming editing from the user, the control unit 203 shifts the state of the character information from the first state to the second state. When the control unit 203 receives the operation of confirming editing from the user, the control unit 203 updates the item "state" of the text information database 2021.

In a certain aspect, the control unit 203 may change the state of the character information in response to the acceptance of the edit confirmation operation without accepting the edit operation from the user. Further, the editing operation is not limited to one time.

In step S709, the control unit 203 presents the character information to the user so that the character information can be grasped as the second state. Specifically, the control unit 203 displays the character information on the display of the terminal device 10A in a manner in which it can be seen that the character information is a confirmation target before being transmitted to the monitor 30. When the character information is set to the second state, the control unit 203 does not accept the editing operation until the confirmation of editing is released, that is, until the process returns to the first state.

<4.2 Presentation of edited and confirmed text information to speakers>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of a process in which the control unit 203 of the server 20 accepts an operation of transmitting the edited and confirmed character information from the user to the speaker. In the description of FIG. 8, it is assumed that the character information is managed in the second state. That is, the character information is displayed on the display of the terminal device 10A in such a manner that it can be seen that the character information is a confirmation target before being transmitted to the monitor 30.

In step S801, the control unit 203 receives an operation of transmitting the edited and confirmed character information to the monitor 30 from the user. Specifically, for example, the user receives an instruction to display the following character information on the monitor 30. Upon receiving the instruction, the user inputs an operation for transmitting to the monitor 30 for, for example, the earliest character information among the character information displayed so as to be in the second state. The first character information represents, for example, the character information displayed above the other character information on the display of the terminal device 10A.

In step S802, when the control unit 203 receives an operation for transmitting character information from the user, the control unit 203 transmits the character information to be transmitted to the monitor 30. At this time, the control unit 203 includes, for example, information on the character size in the character information, and transmits the character information to the monitor 30. Further, when the control unit 203 receives an operation for transmitting character information from the user, the control unit 203 updates the item "state" of the text information database 2021. That is, when the control unit 203 receives an operation for transmitting character information from the user, the control unit 203 changes the state of the character information from the second state to the third state.

The monitor 30 displays the character information transmitted from the server 20 in a designated size.

In step S803, when the state of the character information is changed from the second state to the third state, the control unit 203 presents the character information to the user so that the character information can be grasped as the third state. Specifically, the control unit 203 displays the character information on the display of the terminal device 10A in such a manner that the character information can be seen as a display target being displayed on the monitor 30.

<5 screen example>
9 to 11 are diagrams showing an example of a management image of character information displayed on the display 141 of the terminal device 10A.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a management image displaying character information in the first state. The management image shown in FIG. 9 is, for example, an image presented to the user in step S704 of FIG.

In FIG. 9, the management image has a first region 901 and a second region 902. The first area 901 is an area for displaying the character information received from the viewer. The control unit 180A displays the character information received from the viewer in the first area 901 in parallel in the vertical direction. The control unit 180A may accept an arbitrary operation, for example, a scroll operation, from the user for the character information that cannot be displayed on the screen, and slide the character information outside the display screen to the user to display the character information.

The second area 902 is an area for displaying character information before transmission to the monitor 30 for confirmation. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the second area 902 is blank because it is in a state before accepting the movement of the character information from the user to the area.

The control unit 180A displays the character information received from the viewer and the information about the viewer who has input the character information on the objects 951 and 954 in the first area 901. Specifically, in the objects 951 and 954, information about the viewer is displayed on the user tab, the character information before editing (original) is displayed in the upper row, and the character information after editing is displayed in the lower row. For example, in the object 951, "# 002 Yamada (B newspaper company)" is displayed in the user tab, "How is OO chills?" Is displayed as the character information before editing in the upper row, and after editing in the lower row. "What do you think about XX?" Is displayed as the text information of.

The edit buttons 952 and 955 and the preview transmission buttons 953 and 956 are displayed on the objects 951 and 954. The edit buttons 952 and 955 are buttons for receiving an edit operation from the user on the character information. For example, the edit buttons 952 and 955 are displayed at the lower right of the objects 951 and 954. When the edit buttons 952 and 955 are pressed, the control unit 180A displays a screen (not shown) for editing character information on the display 141. When the character information is edited, the control unit 180A displays the edited character information in the lower row of the objects 951 and 954. Further, when the character information is edited, the control unit 203 stores the edited character information in the text information database 2021.

The preview transmission buttons 953 and 956 are buttons for accepting an operation of moving the object displayed in the first area 901 to the second area 902. For example, the preview transmission buttons 953 and 956 are displayed at the lower left of the objects 951 and 954. When the preview transmission buttons 953 and 956 are pressed, the control unit 180A moves the object including the pressed preview transmission buttons 953 and 956 to the second area 902. The character information displayed on the object moved to the second area 902 becomes a display candidate displayed on the monitor 30.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a management image displaying character information at the time of state transition from the first state to the second state. The management image shown in FIG. 10 is an image in which the object 951 is moved to the second region 902 and becomes the object 1001. Even after the object 951 is moved to the second area 902, the display of the object 951 is maintained in the first area 901.

In FIG. 10, in the object 1001, information about the viewer is displayed on the user tab, and the edited character information is displayed inside. The edit button 1002, the screen transmission button 1003, the preview delete button 1004, the transmitted flag change button 1005, and the edit confirmation flag change button 1006 are displayed on the object 1001. The edit button 1002 is a button for receiving an edit operation from the user for the character information, similarly to the edit button 952 in FIG.

The preview delete button 1004 is a button for accepting an operation of deleting the character information moved to the second area 902 from the second area 902. For example, the preview delete button 1004 is displayed on the lower right side of the object 1001. When the preview delete buttons 1004 and 1014 are pressed, the control unit 180A deletes the object 1001 displayed in the second area 902 from the second area 902.

The edit confirmation flag change button 1006 is a button for accepting an operation of confirming or canceling the editing of the character information. For example, the edit confirmation flag change button 1006 is displayed on the lower left side of the object 1001. When the edit confirmation flag change button 1006 is pressed in the state where the editing is unconfirmed, the control unit 180A assumes that the editing of the character information is confirmed. That is, the control unit 180A shifts the state of the character information from the first state to the second state. When the state of the character information is changed from the first state to the second state, the control unit 180A displays the object 1001 in a manner in which it can be seen that the character information is a confirmation target before being transmitted to the monitor 30.

Specifically, for example, the control unit 180A changes the color of the user tab of the object 1001 as shown in FIG. For example, the control unit 180A changes the color of the user tab of the object 1001 from colorless to yellow as the state of the character information is changed from the first state to the second state. As a result, the control unit 180A allows the user to visually grasp the state of the character information.

Further, when the edit confirmation flag change button 1006 is pressed in the state where the editing is confirmed, the control unit 180A assumes that the editing of the character information is unconfirmed. That is, the control unit 180A shifts the state of the character information from the second state to the first state. When the state of the character information is changed from the second state to the first state, the control unit 180A restores the display mode of the character information. That is, the control unit 180A returns, for example, the color of the user tab of the object 1001 from yellow to colorless. While the user tab of object 1001 is yellow, the edit button 1002 cannot be pressed.

The screen transmission button 1003 is a button for accepting an operation of transmitting the character information whose editing has been confirmed to the monitor 30. For example, the screen transmission button 1003 is displayed on the upper left side of the object 1001. When the screen transmission button 1003 is pressed while the editing is confirmed, the control unit 180A transmits the character information included in the object to the monitor 30. The control unit 180A shifts the state of the character information from the second state to the third state. As a result, the control unit 180A can prevent the user from erroneously transmitting the character information whose editing has not been confirmed to the monitor 30.

When the control unit 180A transmits the character information to the monitor 30, the control unit 180A displays the third area 1101 and the object 1161 described later above the second area 902.

The transmitted flag change button 1005 is a button for accepting an operation of whether the character information transmitted to the monitor 30 has been transmitted or has not been transmitted. For example, the transmitted flag change button 1005 is displayed in the center of the lower part of the object 1001. For example, when the transmitted flag change button 1005 is pressed, the control unit 180A deletes the character information displayed on the monitor 30 and shifts the state of the character information to the second state. The state of the character information deleted from the monitor 30 may be referred to as a fourth state. As a result, the user can re-edit the character information even when he / she finds a defect in the character information after transmitting the character information to the monitor 30.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a management image displaying character information in the third state. The management image shown in FIG. 11 is an image when the character information contained in the object 1001 is transmitted to the monitor 30. The management image shown in FIG. 11 is, for example, an image presented to the user in step S803 of FIG.

In FIG. 11, the third region 1101 is displayed above the second region 902. The third area 1101 is an area for displaying the character information displayed on the monitor 30 to the user. In FIG. 11, the third region 1101 is displayed above the second region 902, but the position where the third region 1101 is displayed is not limited to above the second region 902. The position where the third area 1101 is displayed may be a position other than above the second area 902 as long as it is easily visible to the user on the screen. For example, the third region 1101 may be the information of the first region 901. The position of the third area 1101 is maintained even when the management screen is scrolled. That is, the third area 1101 is not scrolled out to display objects displayed in other areas. As a result, the user can always check the character information displayed on the monitor 30.

The control unit 180A displays the character information transmitted to the monitor 30 and the information about the viewer who has input the character information on the object 1161 in the third area 1101. Specifically, in the object 1161, information about the viewer is displayed at the top, and the displayed characters are displayed at the bottom.

The screen delete button 1162 is displayed on the object 1161. The screen delete button 1162 is a button for accepting an operation of deleting the displayed character from the monitor 30. For example, the screen delete button 1162 is displayed at the bottom of the object 1161. When the screen deletion button 1162 is pressed, the control unit 180A transmits an instruction to the monitor 30 to delete the displayed characters. As a result, the user can delete the character information for which the answer by the speaker has been completed from the monitor 30, and the meeting can proceed smoothly.

When the screen deletion button 1162 is pressed, the control unit 180A sets the state of the character information to the fourth state. The control unit 180A may be able to identify the display mode of the character information in the fourth state as being in the fourth state.

The control unit 180A displays the object 1001 in such a manner that it can be seen that the character information is the display target being displayed on the monitor 30. Specifically, for example, the control unit 180A changes the color of the user tab of the object 1001 as shown in FIG. For example, the control unit 180A changes the color of the user tab of the object 1001 from yellow to red as the state of the character information is changed from the second state to the third state.

In this way, the server 20 presents the state transition from the first state of the character information to the third state to the user on the same screen. That is, the server 20 presents the state transition from the first state of the character information to the third state to the user without a screen transition. As a result, the user can intuitively operate the management of the character information.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a display example of character information displayed on the monitor 30.

In FIG. 12, speaker screens 1201 and 1202 show screens for displaying character information transmitted to the monitor 30. The control unit 203 transmits to the speaker screens 1201 and 1202 the date and time when the character information is received, the name of the viewer who transmitted the character information, the media to which the character information belongs, the content of the character information, and the like. At this time, the control unit 203 changes the character size to be displayed based on the number of characters included in the received character information. The control unit 203 determines the character size so as to fit in the screen of the monitor 30 based on the number of characters included in the character information.

In a certain aspect, the control unit 180A of the terminal device 10A also changes the character size of the character information to be displayed on the object 1161 of the third area 1101 of FIG. 11 based on the number of characters as in the speaker screens 1201 and 1202. May be displayed.

As a result, the server 20 changes the character size based on the number of received characters, so that when a long question, comment, or the like is received from the viewer, the character information is sent to the monitor 30 that the speaker is viewing. It is no longer displayed in a state where it is cut off, that is, a state in which character information is interrupted in the middle of a sentence. Therefore, the server 20 can accurately display the character information received from the viewer to the speaker. Therefore, since the character information is displayed in a manner that fits on one screen even if it is a long character information, the speaker can recognize the character information with high visibility and accurately grasp the intention of the question. can do.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a management image for measuring the timing of inserting the characters displayed on the monitor 30 as telops in the video viewed by the viewer.

In FIG. 13, the object 1301 displays various information related to the character information displayed on the monitor 30. For example, the object 1301 displays the character information displayed on the object 1161 in FIG. 11, the name of the viewer, and the like. The control unit 180A displays the same character information as the character information displayed in the third area 1101 in FIG. 11 on the object 1301. The control unit 180A displays the object 1301 when the screen transmission button 1003 shown in FIG. 10 is pressed. That is, the object 1301 is not displayed until the characters are displayed on the monitor 30. The control unit 180A causes the object 1301 to be displayed on the display 141 in synchronization with the display of characters on the monitor 30.

Character information input from the viewer is displayed as a message on the object 1302. The message displayed on the object 1302 represents a candidate for character information to be inserted as a telop.

Further, the object 1302 displays various information of character information, for example, the number of characters, the state, and the like. The control unit 180A switches the "state" and changes the color of the record of the object 1302 in synchronization with the transition of the state of the character information. For example, the control unit 180A manages the records of the character states of the first state, the second state, and the third state with predetermined colors, and when the states are switched, the color of the records is changed to the color of the switched state. Let me. When the character information is edited, the control unit 180A updates the number of characters to the edited number of characters.

Further, the COPY buttons 1303 and 1304 are displayed on the object 1302. The COPY buttons 1303 and 1304 are buttons for receiving an operation of storing character information in the storage unit 170A of the terminal device 10A in order to insert a telop into the video to be viewed by the viewer. For example, the person in charge of inserting the telop into the video presses the COPY button when the state of the object 1302 becomes "edit confirmed". The control unit 180A transmits the character information stored in the storage unit 170A to the telop insertion system. In the telop insertion system, the person in charge pastes the duplicated character information on the input form for inserting the telop. The telop insertion system inserts the character information entered in the input form into the video as a telop according to the operation of the person in charge.

As a result, the control unit 180A clearly displays the change of the state of the character information in synchronization with the state transition of the character information. Therefore, the person in charge of inserting the telop into the video can accurately grasp the timing at which the character information is transmitted to the monitor 30. Therefore, the person in charge can appropriately measure the timing of inserting the telop on the screen that the viewer is viewing.

FIG. 14 shows a display example in which character information is inserted as a telop in the video viewed by the viewer.

In FIG. 14, the display 141 shows the display 141 of the viewer's terminal device 10B.

Speaker 1401 shows the appearance of the speaker giving a lecture or the like.

The telop 1402 indicates the character information received from the viewer, which is inserted by the operation of the user. Here, the character information displayed as a telop indicates the same character information as the character information displayed on the monitor 30.

As a result, the server 20 can make the viewer know which question the speaker is currently answering. As a result, the viewer can view the video in which the text information such as the question entered by the viewer is displayed as a telop. In addition, the viewer can grasp the questions and the like displayed to the speakers with almost no time lag.

<6 Modification example>
In the above embodiment, the case where there is only one user who manages the character information displayed on the monitor 30 has been described as an example. However, there may be a plurality of users who manage the character information displayed on the monitor 30. At some meetings, viewers send a lot of textual information that cannot be managed by one person. In such a case, the management of the character information may be performed by another user for each work. Since the state of the character information is displayed in a visible manner, the user is less likely to misunderstand the state of the character information even when the work is shared. When the user's work is shared, the user who can execute each work may be restricted. For example, the selection of character information can be performed only by the first user, the editing and confirmation of editing can be performed only by the second user, and the transmission to the monitor 30 may be performed only by the third user.

In the above embodiment, the case where the acquisition and analysis of the character information from the viewer is performed on the server 20 has been described, but the acquisition and analysis of the character information may be performed on a server 20 other than the server 20. For example, the user's terminal device 10A may acquire and analyze the character information, and in that case, the text information database 2021 may be stored in the storage unit 170A of the terminal device 10A.
