Distribution management apparatus for distributing data content to communication devices, distribution system, and distribution management method

摘要

A distribution management apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires terminal management information that indicates locations of multiple communication terminals, a determination unit that determines cutout position information of video data based on the terminal management information acquired by the acquisition unit and operation data received from any one of the communication terminals, a cutout unit that cuts out multiple pieces of video data from the video data based on the cutout position information determined by the determination unit, and a distribution unit that distributes the video data cut out by the cutout unit to each of the communication terminals based on the terminal management information. The determination unit modifies the cutout position information of the video data based on the operation data.

主权项

1. A distribution management apparatus, comprising:
a memory including computer executable instructions and a processor that executes the computer executable instructions and causes the distribution management apparatus to operate as an acquisition unit configured to acquire terminal management information that indicates locations of communication terminals remote from the distribution management apparatus; a determination unit configured to determine cutout position information of video data based on the terminal management information acquired by the acquisition unit and drag or scroll operation data received from any of the communication terminals and modify the cutout position information of the video data based on the drag or scroll operation data; a cutout unit configured to cut out multiple pieces of video data from the video data based on the cutout position information and the drag or scroll operation data determined by the determination unit; and a distribution unit configured to distribute different pieces of the multiple pieces of the video data cut out by the cutout unit to each of the communication terminals based on the terminal management information and the drag or scroll operation data, wherein the determination unit is further configured to modify the cutout position information of the video data in units of viewable pages of displayable information on the communication terminals in case the drag or scroll operation data is operation data that instructs turning a viewable page of the video data displayed on one of the communication terminals, and wherein the determination unit is further configured to modify the cutout position information of the video data displayed on the communication terminals by an amount corresponding to a drag operation distance on one of the communication terminals in case the drag or scroll operation data is operation data that instructs scrolling the video data distributed to the communication terminals based on user input.
