    Abstract: A server includes a means for receiving, from a terminal via a network, a start request that includes information relating to a first gift specified on the terminal and information relating to a target streamer, a means for starting a period during which a second gift that is different from the first gift can be used during a livestreaming of the target streamer upon receiving the start request, a means for storing a parameter that is updated each time the second gift is used, and a means for enabling distribution of an electronic value associated with the first gift to a viewer when distribution conditions are satisfied. The distribution conditions include (1) a viewed time condition relating to a viewed time during which the livestreaming of the target streamer is viewed by viewers, and (2) a parameter condition relating to the parameter.

    Abstract: One object is to fully bring out attractiveness of competitive livestreams. A server includes a circuitry configured to: receive, from a first livestreamer terminal, first operation information of a first game generated based on input by a first livestreamer delivering a first livestream; receive, from a second livestreamer terminal, second operation information of a second game generated based on input by a second livestreamer delivering a second livestream; progress the first and second games based on the first and second operation information; transmit video data of the first and second livestreams and data of the first and second games together to a first viewer terminal of a first viewer of the first livestream and a second viewer terminal of a second viewer of the second livestream; receive a signal indicating use of a gift by the first viewer; and perform processing to negatively impact the second game.

    Abstract: A terminal of a viewer who views a live-stream includes one or more processors, and memory storing one or more computer programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors. The one or more computer programs includes instructions for: causing transition from a live-stream screen to a post-stream screen when a distributor of the live-stream ends the live-stream, the live-stream screen showing a video image generated by a terminal of the distributor, the post-stream screen showing a predetermined image; and accepting an instruction to use a gift from the viewer on the post-stream screen.

    Abstract: A terminal for handling data in a live streaming platform, including one or a plurality of processors, wherein the one or plurality of processors execute a machine- readable instruction to perform: transmitting a request on a portion of data; receiving a response of the request; setting a retry count in response to the response being failed and the portion of data being not the first portion; determining retry time according to the set retry count; and transmitting a next request on the portion of data after the retry time. According to the present disclosure, the requested data, such as the leaderboard data, may be displayed smoothly to the user terminal regardless of the network condition, rather than showing a blank screen. Therefore, the user experience may be improved.
