Abstract: A game image generating section 120 generates a first image and a second image of an application. An image providing section 152 provides the first image to an output apparatus 4. A sharing processing section 160 streaming-distributes the second image to the sharing server. A display image generating section 150 may generate a display image including at least the first image and information associated with the second image. In addition, the sharing processing section 160 may instruct the application to generate the second image on the basis of a request from a viewing user.

Abstract: An application execution unit 110 generates a game image. A message generation unit 112 generates a notification message. An image processing unit 118 generates a distribution image including the game image. A distribution processing unit 126 distributes the distribution image to one or more information processing terminals through a shared server. A setting unit 114 allows a user to set whether or not the notification message is included in the distribution image so as to be visually recognizable, and registers setting contents in a storage apparatus.

Abstract: Provided are a video transmission device, a terminal, a video transmission system, a control method, a program, and an information storage medium that contribute to reduced time and effort for a user during communication of information on a video managed by a video delivery system that delivers the video using a terminal different from the video transmission device that sends the video to be delivered by live streaming. A video transmission section sends, to a video delivery system that delivers videos by live streaming, a video to be delivered by the video delivery system. A video-related information communication control section controls an information terminal associated with a gaming device such that information on the video managed by the video delivery system can be communicated with the video delivery system.

Abstract: A game image generation unit generates a game image, and a game audio generation unit generates a game audio. An audio acquiring unit acquires a microphone audio input to a microphone. A distribution processing unit distributes the microphone audio, the game audio, and the game image. An accepting unit accepts an operation made by a user. During distribution of the microphone audio, the game audio, and the game image, after the accepting unit accepts a predetermined operation, the distribution processing unit operates in either a first mode in which a first standby image is distributed and the microphone audio is distributed as well or a second mode in which a second standby image is distributed but the microphone audio is not distributed.

Abstract: A first ring buffer records a game moving image by game software currently being executed, together with time information. In a case where an event is generated in a game, an event information acquiring part acquires event information including an event code that identifies the generated event, from the game software. A second ring buffer records therein the acquired event information together with the time information synchronized with the first ring buffer.

Abstract: When a preset event occurs during a game progress, game software outputs an event code indicating the event that has occurred. A recording apparatus records a game video generated by execution of the game software, in association with time information. An event information transmitting section transmits, to a management server, event information including the event code and the event occurrence time. A video information transmitting section transmits, to the management server, an image ID set for the game video in the recording apparatus and time information indicating the start time and the end time of the game video. An editing management section acquires, from the management server, event data that identifies the event that has occurred in the game video, and determines a scene to be edited. A video editing section performs editing processing on the game video, based on the scene determined by the editing management section.

Abstract: A message generation unit generates a notification message. A setting unit registers setting information determining whether or not a camera image is to be included in a distribution image. A distribution processing unit distributes a distribution image. When the camera image is set to be included in the distribution image, an image processing unit generates the distribution image including a region in which the notification message is superimposed. When the camera image is set not to be included in the distribution image, the image processing unit generates the distribution image not including the region in which the notification message is superimposed.

Abstract: Techniques for presenting recently generated content on a display include presenting, based on an execution of an application, content on the display, generating a content file including at least one of a video or a screenshot of the application, storing the content file, receiving, based on user input at the input device, a request to access one or more of content files from the folder, wherein the request is received while the execution of the application continues, and presenting, in response to the request, a window over at least a first portion of the content while the execution of the application continues, wherein the window previews the content file and indicates the recency of the content file, and includes a selectable option to edit for length, crop, or annotate in the window any of the content file or the other content files.

Abstract: An imaged image obtaining section obtains an imaged image from a camera. A face recognizing section detects the face images of a plurality of users in the imaged image. A display user determining section has a function of determining a user to be included in a display image. When an instruction receiving section receives a changing instruction, the display user determining section changes a user included in the display image. A face image clipping section clips a region including the face image of the determined user from the imaged image. A display image generating section generates the display image including the clipped region.
