Program, information storage medium, image processing device, image processing method, and data structure

An image processing device including a client computer terminal, comprising:

• a program execution unit for executing a program in accordance with user operation data received from a user input device and generating a first plurality of frame images in accordance with a first mode to produce a motion picture for display to the user based on the program execution and user operation data;
• a replay data obtaining unit for obtaining replay data for reproducing a status of execution of the program when the program is executed, wherein the replay data include the user operation data and the replay data is produced simultaneously with producing the motion picture for display to the user;
• a motion picture for playback producing unit for generating, after obtaining the replay data, a second plurality of frame images in accordance with a second mode for producing a motion picture for playback by executing the program using the obtained replay data, wherein the first and second modes are different and the first and second plurality of frames are different such that the motion picture for playback is at a lower resolution than the motion picture for display, and that the motion picture for playback is in condition to be uploaded from the client computer terminal to a motion picture distribution server for distribution over a computer data network;
• a captured motion picture obtaining unit for obtaining a captured motion picture produced during at least a part of a reproduction period in which the status of execution of the program is reproduced based the replay data:
• and
• a replay motion picture obtaining unit for reproducing a replay motion picture based on the replay data and the captured motion picture,
• wherein the motion picture for playback producing unit produces the motion picture for playback based on the replay motion picture and the captured motion picture.

An image processing method carried out on a client computer terminal, comprising:

• executing a program in accordance with user operation data received from a user input device and generating a first plurality of frame images in accordance with a first mode to produce a motion picture for display to the user based on the program execution and user operation data;
• obtaining replay data for reproducing a status of execution of the program when the program is executed, wherein the replay data include the user operation data and the replay data is produced simultaneously with producing the motion picture for display to the user;
• after obtaining the replay data, generating a second plurality of frame images in accordance with a second mode for producing a motion picture for playback by executing the program using the obtained replay data, wherein the first and second modes are different and the first and second plurality of frames are different such that the motion picture for playback is at a lower resolution than the motion picture for display, and that the motion picture for playback is in condition to be uploaded from the client computer terminal to a motion picture distribution server for distribution over a computer data network;
• obtaining a captured motion picture produced during at least a part of a reproduction period in which the status of execution of the program is reproduced based the replay data:
• and
• producing a replay motion picture based on the replay data and the captured motion picture,
• wherein the producing the motion picture for playback includes producing the motion picture for playback based on the replay motion picture and the captured motion picture.
