Abstract
A content distribution server, includes: a communicator that receives live contents transmitted through a network NW from a distributor terminal used by a distributor of a live content; a designator that designates an area in the live content, where another content is superimposed and played; a selector that selects the other content to be played in the area designated; and a controller that generates a distribution content by superimposing the other content selected by the selector in the area designated by the designator in the live content, wherein the communicator distributes the distribution content to a viewer terminal through the network NW.
Claims15
A server comprising a processor configured to:
- receive a live content from a first terminal of a distributor through a network, the live content created by the distributor;
- generate an area within a video image of the live content, the area designated by the distributor of the live content;
- select another content responsive to an operation by the server, a second terminal, or a third terminal, the another content provided by the second terminal;
- and
- generate a distribution content by superimposing the another content on the area in the live content;
- and
- distribute the distribution content to the third terminal through the network.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a live content from a first terminal of a distributor through a network, the live content created by the distributor;
- generating an area within a video image of the live content, the area designated by the distributor of the live content;
- selecting another content responsive to an operation by a server, a second terminal, or a third terminal, the another content provided by the second terminal;
- generating a distribution content by superimposing the another content on the area in the live content;
- and
- distributing the distribution content to the third terminal through the network.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program which, when executed, causes a computer to execute functions comprising:
- receiving a live content from a first terminal of a distributor through a network, the live content created by the distributor;
- generating an area within a video image of the live content, the area designated by the distributor of the live content;
- selecting another content responsive to an operation by the computer, a second terminal, or a third terminal, the another content provided by the second terminal;
- generating a distribution content by superimposing the another content on the area in the live content;
- and
- distributing the distribution content to the third terminal through the network.
