Information processing device, information processing method, and moving image distribution system

An information processing method, comprising:

• in a first information processing device:
• acquiring first event information from a second information processing device, wherein
• the first event information includes first information to control movement of a first image from an outer area of a display screen of the second information processing device to a distribution moving image display area of the display screen,
• the distribution moving image display area includes a distribution moving image,
• the first image corresponds to a viewer associated with the second information processing device,
• the distribution moving image includes a performer image of a performer, and
• the outer area is outside the distribution moving image display area;
• controlling the second information processing device, based on the first event information, to display the first image superimposed on the distribution moving image in the distribution moving image display area;
• generating second event information associated with a gesture of the performer in the performer image, wherein
• the second event information includes second information to control movement of a second image from the distribution moving image display area of the display screen to the outer area of the display screen, and
• the second image is associated with the performer in the performer image;
• and
• controlling the second information processing device, based on the second event information, to display the second image on the outer area of the display screen.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor of a first information processing device, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• acquiring first event information from a second information processing device, wherein
• the first event information includes first information to control movement of a first image from an outer area of a display screen of the second information processing device to a distribution moving image display area of the display screen,
• the distribution moving image display area includes a distribution moving image,
• the first image corresponds to a viewer associated with the second information processing device,
• the distribution moving image includes a performer image of a performer, and
• the outer area is outside the distribution moving image display area;
• controlling the second information processing device, based on the first event information, to display the first image superimposed on the distribution moving image in the distribution moving image display area;
• generating second event information associated with a gesture of the performer in the performer image, wherein
• the second event information includes second information to control movement of a second image from the distribution moving image display area of the display screen to the outer area of the display screen, and
• the second image is associated with the performer in the performer image;
• and
• controlling the second information processing device, based on the second event information, to display the second image on the outer area of the display screen.

A moving image distribution system, comprising:

• a plurality of information processing devices connected together via a network, wherein
• a first information processing device of the plurality of information processing devices includes a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
• acquire first event information from a second information processing device of the plurality of information processing devices, wherein
• the first event information includes first information to control movement of a first image from an outer area of a display screen of the second information processing device to a distribution moving image display area of the display screen,
• the distribution moving image display area includes a distribution moving image,
• the first image corresponds to a viewer associated with the second information processing device,
• the distribution moving image includes a performer image of a performer, and
• the outer area is outside the distribution moving image display area;
• control the second information processing device, based on the first event information, to display the first image superimposed on the distribution moving image in the distribution moving image display area;
• generate second event information associated with a gesture of the performer in the performer image, wherein
• the second event information includes second information to control movement of a second image from the distribution moving image display area of the display screen to the outer area of the display screen, and
• the second image is associated with the performer in the performer image;
• and
• control the second information processing device, based on the second event information, to display the second image on the outer area of the display screen.
