Abstract

A system that acquires, from a terminal device, log data related to progress of the game generated by the terminal device; creates the video based on the log data; generates metadata related to progress of the game based on the log data; associates the metadata with the video; and outputs the video and associated metadata.

Claims

1. A method, executed by an information processing system for creating a video in which a game screen is re-created that is related to a game that progresses at a terminal device, the method comprising:

acquiring, from the terminal device, log data related to progress of the game generated by the terminal device;

creating the video based on the log data;

generating metadata related to progress of the game based on the log data;

associating the metadata with the video; and

outputting the video and associated metadata.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing, in a memory, a condition relating to creation of the video,

wherein

the creating includes creating the video based on the log data and on the condition relating to creation of the video.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein

the condition is a condition for extracting, from the log data, log data that satisfies a predetermined condition, and

the creating includes creating the video based on the extracted log data.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein

the condition is a condition for extracting, from the log data, log data that satisfies a predetermined condition and for replacing processing related to the extracted log data with processing in a different format, and

the creating includes creating the video by replacing processing related to the extracted log data with processing in the different format.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein

the log data includes character code.

6. One or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media configured to store instructions, which when executed by an information processing system, cause the information processing system to:

acquire, from a terminal device, log data related to progress of a game generated by the terminal device;

create, based on the log data, a video in which a game screen is re-created that is related to the game;

generate metadata related to progress of the game based on the log data;

associate the metadata with the video; and

output the video and associated metadata.

7. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 6, wherein the instructions further cause the information processing system to:

store, in a memory, a condition relating to creation of the video,

wherein

the creating includes creating the video based on the log data and on the condition relating to creation of the video.

8. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 7, wherein

the condition is a condition for extracting, from the log data, log data that satisfies a predetermined condition, and

the creating includes creating the video based on the extracted log data.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 7, wherein

the condition is a condition for extracting, from the log data, log data that satisfies a predetermined condition and for replacing processing related to the extracted log data with processing in a different format, and

the creating includes creating the video by replacing processing related to the extracted log data with processing in the different format.

10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 6, wherein

the log data includes character code.

11. An information processing system comprising:

circuitry configured to

acquire, from a terminal device, log data related to progress of a game generated by the terminal device;

create, based on the log data, a video in which a game screen is re-created that is related to the game;

generate metadata related to progress of the game based on the log data;

associate the metadata with the video; and

output the video and associated metadata.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein

the circuitry is further configured to store, in a memory, a condition relating to creation of the video, and

the creating includes creating the video based on the log data and on the condition relating to creation of the video.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein

the condition is a condition for extracting, from the log data, log data that satisfies a predetermined condition, and

the creating includes creating the video based on the extracted log data.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein

the condition is a condition for extracting, from the log data, log data that satisfies a predetermined condition and for replacing processing related to the extracted log data with processing in a different format, and

the creating includes creating the video by replacing processing related to the extracted log data with processing in the different format.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein

the log data includes character code.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein

the system includes a server comprising the circuitry and the terminal device, the terminal device comprising

second circuitry configured to

execute the game based on user input;

generate the log data elated to progress of a game; and

a communication interface configured to transmit the log data to the server.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein

the communication interface transmits the log data to the server each time the second circuitry executes processing related to progress of the game.
