17LIVE Japan Inc.

A server comprising a circuitry, wherein the circuitry is configured to perform: receiving, from a user, an instruction to use a gift for a streamer before a live streaming of the streamer; and causing an output unit to output an effect and points corresponding to the use of the gift by the user while the streamer is in the live streaming. According to the present disclosure, the viewers may have more options to support the livestreamer. Moreover, the livestreamers may feel positively surprised when receiving the schedule gift in the live streaming. Therefore, the user experience may be improved.

A server includes a relay unit adapted to transmit a video data related to a livestream from a terminal of a livestreamer of the livestream to a terminal of a viewer, a determination unit adapted to determine whether the livestream has been terminated for an unexpected reason, a maintaining unit adapted to maintain a state of the livestream when it is determined that the livestream has been terminated, and a resume unit adapted to resume the livestream with the maintained state when the resume unit receives an instruction to resume the livestream from the terminal of the livestreamer within a predetermined period after it is determined that the livestream has been terminated.

A server includes a circuitry, wherein the circuitry is configured to: obtain, at a first point of time during progress of a livestream, first time-series data representing content of the livestream recorded as the livestream progresses; generate summary information of the livestream as of the first point of time based on the first time-series data obtained; obtain, at a second point of time during progress of the livestream later than first point of time, second time-series data representing content of the livestream recorded as the livestream progresses; and generate summary information of the livestream as of the second point of time based on the second time-series data obtained.

A server comprising a circuitry, wherein the circuitry is configured to perform: receiving a request on providing information about an event from a user terminal of a user; identifying a specific user according to the request; retrieving a leaderboard information corresponding to the specific user in the event; and providing the leaderboard information to the user terminal of the user. According to the present disclosure, it may simplify the process of requesting information about the event and encourage the interaction between livestreamers and viewers. Moreover, it may motivate the viewers to support their favorite livestreamer in the event. Therefore, the user experience may be enhanced and the quality of the live streaming service may be improved.

The present disclosure relates to a system and a method for recommendation. The method includes: detecting a change of an interaction parameter in a live stream; determining the change to have met a predetermined criterion; and recommending the live stream to a user within a time period of the determining the change to have met the predetermined criterion.

Provided is a server configured to provide a game that is playable in a livestream and involves gaining or losing points. The server includes: a relay unit adapted to transmit a video data related to the livestream from a terminal of a live-streamer to a terminal of a viewer; a receiving unit adapted to receive a start request for the game from the terminal of the viewer over a network; and a starting unit adapted to start to provide the game in the livestream to the terminal of the viewer in response to reception of the start request, the game having a gain-loss setting corresponding to the live-streamer of the livestream.

The present disclosure relates to a system, a method and a computer-readable medium for recommendation. The method includes providing a first content according to a first recommendation logic to a user terminal of a viewer; providing a second content according to a second recommendation logic to the user terminal; obtaining interaction data from the user terminal; and adjusting an allocation of contents from the first recommendation logic and the second recommendation logic to be shown on the user terminal according to the interaction data.

A server for providing a livestreaming platform includes a circuitry configured to determine, for a first livestreamer in a first rank, whether to move the first livestreamer from the first rank to a different rank, based on a result of comparing a value of a support parameter of the first livestreamer and a value of a support parameter of a different livestreamer in the first rank; determine, for a second livestreamer in a second rank, whether to move the second livestreamer from the second rank to a different rank, based on a result of evaluating a value of a support parameter of the second livestreamer independently of a value of a support parameter of a different livestreamer; and perform an operation to award a reward to a livestreamer, the reward being calculated based on a rank of the livestreamer and a streaming duration of the livestreamer.

The present disclosure relates to a terminal and a method for order management. The method includes: displaying an object associated with a post on a website supported by a first server on a user terminal of a first user; detecting the first user to have selected the object; transmitting a purchase comment from a second user and related to the post to a second server, wherein the first server is different from the second server.

One object is to improve searches in livestreams. A server includes a circuitry, wherein the circuitry is configured to: hold, in a livestream information holding unit, information about livestreamers and viewers of livestreams performed on a livestreaming platform in a past; receive, by a request receiving unit, a search request from a user terminal of a first user of the livestreaming platform over a network; identify, in an identifying unit, a second user with reference to the livestream information holding unit, the second user being different from the first user and having viewed a livestream that the first user has viewed in a past; and generate, in a generating unit, a search result for the search request such that the second user or a livestream performed by the second user is presented by priority.
