Abstract: An image processing unit 118 generates a distribution image including a game image. A distribution processing unit 126 distributes the distribution image to one or more of information processing terminals through a shared server. A participation processing unit 128 accepts play requests of viewing users operating the information processing terminals and approves a game play of one of the viewing users who has made a request for a play. An application execution unit 110 processes a game using operation information transmitted from the information processing terminal operated by the viewing user the game play of which has been approved.

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: An image evaluating section calculates evaluation values of a plurality of game videos recorded in a recording apparatus. A data reduction processing section reduces, on the basis of each of the evaluation values of the plurality of game videos, a data amount of a game video recorded in the recording apparatus. In the recording apparatus, an upper limit capacity is set to a region in which the plurality of game videos are recorded. The data reduction processing section reduces the data amount of the already recorded game videos, when a new game video is recorded in the recording apparatus.
