Display terminal, communication system, display method, communication method, and recording medium

A communication system comprising:

• a display terminal configured to play back a moving image on a display, the moving image having been recorded in distribution of the moving image to one or more communication terminals, and
• an information processing system configured to distribute the recorded moving image,
• the display terminal including first circuitry configured to:
• receive an instruction to share a moving image segment that is a temporal segment of the recorded moving image;
• and
• transmit information on sharing of the moving image segment to the information processing system,
• the information processing system including second circuitry configured to:
• receive the information on sharing of the moving image segment from the display terminal;
• and
• transmit, to the display terminal, respective moving image segments that are temporal segments of moving images shared by a plurality of display terminals including the display terminal,
• the first circuitry of the display terminal being configured to cause the display to display the respective moving image segments.

A display method executed by a display terminal, the display method comprising:

• playing back a moving image on a display, the moving image having been recorded in distribution of the moving image to one or more communication terminals;
• and
• displaying an area for a first mode and an area for a second mode on the display,
• the first mode being a mode for receiving an instruction to share a moving image segment that is a temporal segment of the recorded moving image during playback of the recorded moving image,
• the second mode being a mode for displaying respective moving image segments that are temporal segments of moving images shared by a plurality of display terminals including the display terminal.

A communication method executed by a communication system, the communication system including a display terminal and an information processing system, the communication method comprising:

• playing back, on a display of the display terminal, a moving image having been recorded in distribution of the moving image to one or more communication terminals;
• in response to reception of an instruction to share a moving image segment that is a temporal segment of the recorded moving image, transmitting information on sharing of the moving image segment from the display terminal to the information processing system;
• transmitting, from the information processing system to the display terminal, respective moving image segments that are temporal segments of moving images shared by a plurality of display terminals including the display terminal;
• and
• displaying, on the display of the display terminal, the respective moving image segments.

A non-transitory recording medium which stores a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors on a display terminal, causes the processors to perform a display method, the method comprising:

• playing back a moving image on a display, the moving image having been recorded in distribution of the moving image to one or more communication terminals;
• and
• displaying an area for a first mode and an area for a second mode on the display,
• the first mode being a mode for receiving an instruction to share a moving image segment that is a temporal segment of the recorded moving image during playback of the recorded moving image,
• the second mode being a mode for displaying respective moving image segments that are temporal segments of moving images shared by a plurality of display terminals including the display terminal.

A non-transitory recording medium which stores a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors on an information processing system, causes the processors to perform an information processing method comprising:

• distributing, to a plurality of display terminals, a moving image recorded in distribution of the moving image to one or more communication terminals;
• receiving a request from a particular display terminal of the plurality of display terminals to cause other display terminals of the plurality of display terminals to record respective viewing histories of the moving image;
• transmitting a request to the other display terminals to record the respective viewing histories of the moving image for the other display terminals;
• specifying, based on the respective viewing histories acquired from the other display terminals, a moving image segment that is a temporal segment of the moving image and that has been viewed more than a predetermined number of times on the other display terminals;
• and
• transmitting the moving image segment to the particular display terminal.
