Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of computer services, in particular to a method for supporting intellectual property derivation and right confirmation in crowdsourcing based on an NFT protocol. BACKGROUND

[0002] Crowdsourcing is a way that can enable multiple individuals to participate in creative activities. In the process of crowdsourcing, individuals with various skills, experiences and perspectives in society can participate in problem solving. Today, with the rapid development of digital products, crowdsourcing, as an important way to create digital products, is playing an important role. Crowdsourcing greatly liberates the creativity of the public and greatly changes the way people create and cooperate.

[0003] However, there are many problems in traditional crowdsourcing activities. First of all, the core input in crowdsourcing activities is creative labor, and the core benefit is capital income and ownership. Any benefit needs to be clearly defined and confirmed, and sufficient digital evidence is needed to preserve the evidence of the creation and ownership of intellectual property. Accurate confirmation of the work load of the creator, investment and output, intellectual property ownership agreement, and benefit value. However, there is no uniform standard for traditional crowdsourcing activities guaranteed by a third party. With the circulation and derivation of intellectual property, the ownership of rights also changes, and the right confirmation needs to be updated in real time. At the same time, the development, cooperation and confirmation of intellectual property all need to be based on a mechanism of complete trust between multiple parties. However, traditional crowdsourcing platforms based on third parties are difficult to achieve high credibility at a small cost, and often face various trust problems.

[0004] The emergence of blockchain technology provides a new method to solve the problem of trusted service between multiple parties. Blockchain has the characteristics of decentralization, transparency and tamper resistance, providing technical support for trusted services. The derivative relationship and ownership change of digital products in crowdsourcing activities are recorded in a decentralized network in a trusted manner, providing digital certificates that are irrefutable and cannot be tampered with for their derivation and confirmation.

[0005] At the same time, the emergence of smart contracts brings more possibilities to blockchain, making it possible to run a variety of applications on the blockchain. Today, the various token protocols in the on-chain network are all smart contracts running on the blockchain. Among them, many non-fungible token protocols such as ERC-721, ERC-998, ERC-1155 have achieved major applications in the field of digital intellectual property and digital products. Each non-fungible token represents a unique digital product. However, there is no token protocol that can abstractly represent the derivation and confirmation of intellectual property.

[0006] There are many difficulties in designing an NFT protocol that can realize crowdsourcing activities and represent the derivation and right of intellectual property. First, there is no universally recognized model for crowdsourcing activities. In real life, crowdsourcing often takes many forms, and there is no clear confirmation of the derivation and right in the process, which leads to confusion in the crowdsourcing process, ambiguity in the derivation relationship, and lack of right. Therefore, a standardized, practical, and multi-form crowdsourcing model needs to be abstracted to clearly define the derivation relationship and right relationship of intellectual property in the crowdsourcing process. At the same time, due to the immaturity of smart contract application, there is no token protocol on the market that supports complex derivation relationship and right relationship, and cannot represent the basic attributes of intellectual property, so an NFT token protocol that can support the derivation and right of intellectual property in the crowdsourcing process needs to be designed.

[0007] Therefore, in the above background, a method for supporting the derivation and right of intellectual property in the crowdsourcing process based on the NFT protocol is proposed to solve the problem of intellectual property derivation and credible right in the crowdsourcing activities of multiple participants. SUMMARY

[0040] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the composition of an on-chain governance contract. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the application.

[0042] To solve the problems in the prior art, the application provides a crowdsourcing activity model for the derivation and right confirmation problems in a crowdsourcing activity involving multiple parties, and provides an NFT protocol based on blockchain technology and smart contract technology to support intellectual property derivation and right confirmation in a crowdsourcing process. The NFT protocol provided by the application can solidify the derivation and right confirmation attributes generated in the crowdsourcing process in a trusted decentralized network, providing a foundation for trusted cooperation of multiple parties involved.

[0043] In combination with Figure 1The application provides a method for supporting intellectual property derivation and right confirmation in a crowdsourcing process based on an NFT protocol.

[0044] Step 1: A participant in crowdsourcing proposes crowdsourcing materials, wherein the crowdsourcing materials are modified contents of original intellectual property or derivative versions based on the original intellectual property;

[0045] Step 2: A crowdsourcing organization of the intellectual property determines whether to adopt the crowdsourcing materials according to a certain decision mechanism, and if the crowdsourcing materials are adopted, the crowdsourcing organization performs relevant operations according to the type of the crowdsourcing materials, wherein the operations include updating the contents of the intellectual property and deriving new intellectual property;

[0046] Step 3: If the crowdsourcing organization adopts the crowdsourcing materials after decision-making, the contribution of the crowdsourcing participant is determined according to a certain right confirmation mechanism.

[0047] Step 4: The NFT protocol maps the derivation and ownership changes of intellectual property in the crowdsourcing activity, wherein an extension part of the NFT protocol records the derivation relationship between digital intellectual property, can configure multiple relationships, and can represent the weight size.

[0048] The NFT protocol proposed in the application is based on the ERC-1155 token protocol, and the relevant interface and event description mentioned above only involve the extension part of the protocol and do not involve the interface and event definition of ERC-1155. The ERC-1155 protocol is an NFT protocol supporting multiple tokens, and the ERC-1155 protocol is used to represent the contents of intellectual property, crowdsourcing organizations and ownership allocation in the application. Each id in the ERC-1155 protocol represents a crowdsourcing organization, and the uri associated with the id represents the contents of the intellectual property, which stores the hash value of the digital content of the intellectual property, such as the hash value of an image or the hash value of a text. In addition, the contract also records the holding amount of the token represented by each id, and the user group holding the token is the crowdsourcing organization of the id, and all the amount represents the size of the ownership, so that the ownership of the crowdsourcing participant can be mapped as the issuance of a corresponding amount of tokens. The extension part proposed in the application records the derivation relationship between the digital intellectual property, can configure multiple relationships, and can represent the weight size.

[0049] Therefore, the NFT protocol proposed in the application can represent the derivation relationship of the intellectual property in the crowdsourcing process and the ownership allocation relationship, and can provide traceable, credible and transparent on-chain credentials for the derivation and right confirmation of the intellectual property.

[0050] The mode of crowdsourcing includes the following elements:

[0051] (1)Crowd organization: It is the collection of all crowd participants, and it performs the management of the content, rights, derivatives, and rights of intellectual property, and is also the beneficiary of intellectual property, and the income generated by intellectual property is distributed according to the rules of its rights and distribution.

[0052] (2)Crowd process: The crowd process is the process of deriving intellectual property, and the crowd material is generated in the crowd process, thereby developing the content of intellectual property, and in this process, new intellectual property with combination derivatives and other relationships is also generated.

[0053] (3)Decision mechanism: The crowd organization manages the crowd material generated in the crowd process through the decision mechanism, decides the direction of the derivative of the intellectual property in the crowd, and also decides the contribution of the adopted crowd material in the crowd process, and makes a decision on its rights.

[0054] (4)Right confirmation mechanism: It provides how the ownership of the adopted crowd material should be determined.

[0055] The present application can adopt a variety of decision mechanisms, which are as follows:

[0056] (1) Decision is made through permission control, and members with specified permissions can make decisions and can directly operate the management and rights of intellectual property.

[0057] (2) Decision is made through on-chain governance. The composition of the on-chain governance contract is shown in Figure 2 All members of the crowd organization jointly make decisions on a proposal. The crowd organization can set multiple attributes of the on-chain governance contract, such as proposal threshold, proposal delay, proposal effective threshold, etc. It can also set multiple components of the governance contract, such as the module GovernorVotes for obtaining the voting amount of each member, the voting module GovernorCountinSimple, etc. Through multiple settable parameters and multiple replaceable modules, various governance needs can be achieved.

[0058] The right confirmation mechanism of the present application consists of two parts: ownership determination and ownership on-chain. Ownership determination is the step of deciding the numerical value of the ownership reflected in the NFT protocol proposed in the present application. Ownership on-chain is to upload the change of the ownership to the chain through the decision mechanism, that is, the NFT protocol proposed in the present application. The present application can adopt a variety of methods for determining the ownership, which are as follows:

[0059] (1) The numerical value of the ownership can be directly proposed by the crowd participants or the members of the crowd organization.

[0060] (2) Different types of crowd-sourced contributions can be set, and the value of the ownership is determined according to the type of contribution. The value of the ownership corresponding to different types is stored in the data of the smart contract. The type of crowd-sourcing is determined by the decision mechanism.

[0061] (3) The value of the ownership can be directly determined through the mode of on-chain governance. The members of the crowd-sourcing organization determine the value of the ownership by putting forward their respective appropriate ownership, and then obtain the final value of the ownership through weighted average.

[0062] Based on the ERC-1155 protocol, an NFT protocol supporting intellectual property derivation and right confirmation is proposed, including the following methods and events:

[0063] (1) addReference(uint256parent, uint256child, uint256weight, uint256decimal, ReferenceTypereferenceType): This method is used to create a connection between intellectual properties with derivative or combination relationship, where referenceType represents the type of the relationship, and weight and decimal together form the weight. In this method, the income of IP can be propagated along the derivative chain of intellectual property through association and weight, realizing the right confirmation between intellectual properties with association relationship.

[0064] (2) deleteReference(uint256parent, uint256child, ReferenceTypetype): Delete the connection between two nodes with type referenceType.

[0065] (3) getReference(uint256id): Obtain all association information of the ID, including its pointing and being pointed relationship.

[0066] (4) getReferenceByType(uint256id, ReferenceTypetype): Obtain all specified relationship types of the ID.

[0067] (5) ReferenceAdd(uint256parent, uint256child, uint256weight, uint256decimal, ReferenceTypereferenceType): This event is emitted when creating an association.

[0068] (6) ReferenceDelete(uint256 parent, uint256 child, ReferenceType type): This event is emitted when a reference is deleted.

[0069] (7) mintBatch(uint256 id, uint256 tos, uint256 amounts, bytes data): Mint ownership for members of the crowd organization.

[0070] (8) mint(uint256 id, uint256 account, uint256 amount, bytes data): Mint ownership for a member of the crowd organization.

[0071] (9) TransferSingle(address operator, address from, address to, uint256 id, uint256 value): This event is emitted when ownership changes.

[0072] (10) TansferBatch(address operator, address from, address[] tos, uint256 id, uint256[] amounts): This event is emitted when ownership changes.

[0073] (11) setUri(uint256 id, string newUri): Set the hash value of the intellectual property content.

[0074] (12) URI(uint256 id, string uri): This event is emitted when the hash value of the intellectual property content is supported.

[0075] (13) getHolders(uint256 id): Get all members of the crowd organization.

[0076] (14) balanceOfBatch(uint256 id, address[] holders): Get the ownership of the members of the crowd organization.

[0077] (15) balanceOf(uint256 id, address account): Get the ownership of a member of the crowd organization.

[0078] Next, a simple example involving derivation and right confirmation will be used to illustrate the role of the NFT protocol proposed in the present application in the entire crowdsourcing process. In this case, the on-chain governance model is used as the decision-making mechanism for the crowdsourcing; the right confirmation mechanism is that the participants in the crowdsourcing submit the rights they need, and the crowdsourcing organization votes. In actual applications, various decision-making mechanisms and right confirmation mechanisms can be used.

[0079] First, the crowdsourcing participant wants to add his own ideas to the intellectual property A, derive a new intellectual property B, and ask for a certain amount of rights in intellectual property A, while promising a certain amount of rights to the crowdsourcing organization of intellectual property A. This action is mapped to four operations on the NFT protocol proposed in the present application:

[0080] (1) mintBatch(id, tos, amounts, data): id is the id of the new intellectual property B, tos is the set of owners of the new intellectual property B, amounts is the amount of rights that should be given to the corresponding right owner, and data is the additional data when calling.

[0081] (2) mint(account, id, amount, data): account is the crowdsourcing participant, id is the intellectual property A, amount is the amount of rights in intellectual property A that is asked for, and data is the additional data when calling.

[0082] (3) setURI(id, newUri): id is the id of the new intellectual property B, and uri is the hash value of the content of the new intellectual property B derived by the crowdsourcing participant after adding his own ideas.

[0083] (4) addReference(parent, child, weight, decimal, type): parent is the id of the intellectual property A, child is the id of the derived intellectual property B, weight is the integer part of the weight of the derivation relationship, decimal indicates the number of decimal places of the integer part of the weight of the derivation relationship, and type is the type of the relationship. Different relationship types can have different operations, and in this case, it is a simple derivation relationship, with no special operation, and the weight part is invalid.

[0084] Secondly, these method signatures and their attributes are converted into binary calling data through tools such as web3.js or ether.js, and the on-chain governance contract is called to submit the proposal to the crowdsourcing organization of intellectual property A for decision-making.

[0085] The crowdsourcing organization of intellectual property A votes on the proposal by voting, and the ownership of a unit represents the voting right of a unit. The more the members' ownership, the higher the voting right. When the voting volume of the proposal reaches the effective voting volume, and the number of favorable votes accounts for the majority, the proposal is passed. After the proposal is passed, the crowdsourcing organization of intellectual property A can execute the proposal, and the calling data in the proposal will be executed, that is, the four operations mentioned above, that is, the creation of new intellectual property B, the creation of the derivative relationship between intellectual property A and intellectual property B, and the allocation of the ownership.

[0086] As can be seen from the example, the derivation and right confirmation of intellectual property in the crowdsourcing process can be achieved through the NFT protocol proposed in the application and other smart contracts to achieve the on-chain execution of the whole process of derivation and right confirmation, that is, to provide a reliable and trusted collaborative environment for the whole process, and the key digital credentials in the process can be left in the form of contract data and contract events.
