and generate a moving image content obtained by inserting an image based on the user-related image into the specific partial image section in the imaged moving image content on a basis of the association between the specific partial image section and the user-related image, wherein the specific partial image section is a region of the imaged moving image content having an area less than an entirety of the region of the imaged moving image content. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to perform control so that the moving image content is distributed to the specific user associated with the user-related image. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein the circuitry is further configured to perform control so that the imaged moving image content is distributed to another user who is not associated with the user-related image. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein there is a plurality of the user-related images being images related to different users, respectively, and the circuitry is further configured to generate a plurality of moving image contents obtained by inserting an image based on the user-related image into different partial image sections in the imaged moving image content for each user-related image. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the user-related image is an image based on a user image as an image indicating a user. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The information processing device according to claim 5, wherein the user-related image is an image obtained by imaging the user image displayed in a venue of the event. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The information processing device according to claim 6, wherein user images of a plurality of users are displayed in the venue of the event, and the user-related image is an image that captures a user image of a target user out of the user images displayed in the venue of the event. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The information processing device according to claim 5, wherein the user image is an image obtained by imaging a user. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the user-related image is an image based on a user imaged image as an imaged image of the specific user. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The information processing device according to claim 9, wherein the user-related image is an image cut out to be an image in which a predetermined number of users appear from the user imaged image. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein the predetermined number is one. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein the predetermined number is two or larger. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the user-related image is an image obtained by imaging a user image as an image indicating a user displayed in a venue of the event, and the circuitry is further configured to generate an arranged image in which user images of a plurality of users are arranged side by side as an image displayed in the venue of the event. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The information processing device according to claim 13, wherein the circuitry is further configured to determine a display mode of the user image in the arranged image on a basis of action management information for managing an action history regarding the event of the specific user. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The information processing device according to claim 14, wherein the action management information includes ticket amount information indicating an amount of a participation ticket for the event purchased by the user, and the circuitry is further configured to determine a display mode of the user image in the arranged image on a basis of the ticket amount information. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The information processing device according to claim 14, wherein the action management information includes tip amount information indicating an amount of a tip given by the user for the event, and the circuitry is further configured to determine a display mode of the user image in the arranged image on a basis of the tip amount information. ### Claim 17 An information processing method performed by an information processing device, the method comprising: associating a specific partial image section being a partial section of an imaged moving image content obtained by imaging an event with a user-related image being an image related to a specific user; and generating a moving image content obtained by inserting an image based on the user-related image into the specific partial image section in the imaged moving image content on a basis of the association between the specific partial image section and the user-related image, wherein the specific partial image section is a region of the imaged moving image content having an area less than an entirety of the region of the imaged moving image content. ### Claim 18 A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute an information processing method, the method comprising: associating a specific partial image section being a partial section of an imaged moving image content obtained by imaging an event with a user-related image being an image related to a specific user; and generating a moving image content obtained by inserting an image based on the user-related image into the specific partial image section in the imaged moving image content on a basis of the association between the specific partial image section and the user-related image, wherein the specific partial image section is a region of the imaged moving image content having an area less than an entirety of the region of the imaged moving image content. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry is further configured to: associate another specific partial image section being a partial section of the imaged moving image content with another user-related image being an image related to another specific user; and generate the moving image content obtained by inserting another image based on the another user-related image into the another specific partial image section in the imaged moving image content on a basis of the association between the another specific partial image section and the another user-related image, wherein the another specific partial image section is a region of the imaged moving image content having an area less than the entirety of the region of the imaged moving image content, and wherein the another specific partial image section is different than the specific partial image section and the another specific user is different than the specific user.
