Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of computer technology, and specifically to a sharing method, apparatus, electronic device, and readable storage medium.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the importance of copyright protection has been recognized worldwide, especially prominent in major producing countries of works. However, due to illegal copying (pirated versions), copyright holders have suffered significant losses. Furthermore, in countries where laws such as the "Copyright Law" and the "Industrial Property Law" are insufficient, there are certain difficulties in restricting and sanctioning copyright infringement acts such as illegal Internet distribution. There is also a problem that the income obtained by copyright holders such as copyright owners and rights holders of publishing rights is significantly reduced by restricting the distribution of works.

[0003] To prevent illegal distribution, Patent Document 1 discloses an electronic watermark technology that embeds authentication information (such as an ultra-high-frequency audio signal) that is difficult for humans to perceive into works such as music and videos. This makes it possible to suppress illegal copying. Patent Document 2 discloses a method for legally sharing works.

[0040] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the original copyright distribution resource database 124 can store various data, such as copyright holder data item 1241 and copyright data item 1242.

[0041] Information regarding copyright holders in a copyrighted work includes at least one of the following: copyright holder information and authorized copyright holder information. An authorized copyright holder is someone other than the copyright holder who directly or indirectly uses the copyrighted work. An authorized copyright holder may be an individual or a corporate entity such as an animation company or a record company.

[0042] The copyright holder data item 1241 and the copyrighted work data item 1242 may be implemented in structured data format, unstructured data format, or in the format of an independent database, and this publication does not impose any restrictions thereon. The original copyrighted work distribution resource database 124 may be stored in storage media formats such as hard disk drives, solid drives, flash memory, etc., or in other storage media formats, and this publication does not impose any restrictions thereon.

[0043] Copyright holder data item 1241 may include information about copyright holders who share video content. Copyright holder information may include, for example, copyright holder attribute information and copyright holder related information. Copyright holder attribute information may include personal information such as copyright holder ID, copyright holder's name, gender, date of birth, and hobbies. Copyright holder related information may also include information other than personal information, such as copyright holder's account information and work information.

[0044] For the purpose of distributing and sharing copyrighted works, copyright holder-related information may include the copyright holder's network resources, such as social networking service (SNS) software like WeChat and MSN, and URLs (Uniform Resource Locator) information for blogs, etc. Copyright holder information may also include other information, and this publication does not impose any restrictions on such information.

[0045] Copyright holder data item 1241 may also include agent copyright holder information. Agent copyright holder information may include at least one of the following: agent copyright holder identification information, agent copyright holder name or title, agent copyright holder account information, and direct and indirect information of other agent copyright holders.

[0046] Similarly, the network resources of copyright holders may include the network resources of the copyright holder and / or the network resources of the authorized copyright holder. The network resources of the authorized copyright holder may include URL information of the authorized copyright holder's social networking software, blogs, company web pages, etc.

[0047] Copyright data item 1242 may include copyright information. Copyright information may include the copyrighted work itself, such as video content shared by the copyright holder, and related information. The copyrighted work itself may include at least one of the following: image information, animation information, audio information, video information, game information, or text information. The copyrighted work itself may also use other information formats, and this publication does not restrict this.

[0048] Taking the case where the copyrighted work itself is video content information as an example, the copyrighted work-related information may include video content identification information and video content attribute information. Video content identification information may include, for example, the video content identification serial number (video content ID), and video content identification information can be associated with copyright holder attribute information. Furthermore, video content attribute information may include, for example, the type of video content, age recommendation information, feature information, playback time, and resolution information. Feature information may include video content attribute tags and keywords.

[0049] Furthermore, if the video content is a series that is released at regular time intervals, or irregularly, the copyright identification information (ID) for the entire video content can be added as copyright-related information.

[0050] To facilitate the sharing and distribution of copyrighted material resources over the network, copyrighted material data item 1242 may include network resources for the copyrighted material. For example, it may include information for accessing the copyrighted material over the network, such as the URL where the copyrighted material is stored or the URL of the page where the copyrighted material is used.

[0051] A copyright distribution resource includes at least one of the following: all or part of the copyright holder information related to the copyright, and all or part of the copyright information. For example, a copyright distribution resource consisting of a copyright holder's copyright sharing page URL and a copyright usage page URL can facilitate the distribution of copyrighted works. A copyright distribution resource may also include, for example, the IP address of the copyright holder's terminal.

[0052] Copyright distribution resources may include advertising information; for example, advertising information may be included in at least one of the copyright sharing pages or copyright usage pages.

[0053] Copyright holder data item 1241 and copyrighted work data item 1242 may store some or all of their contents, such as copyright holder information, URL where the copyrighted work is stored, URL of the page where the copyrighted work is used, and advertising information, on a blockchain node. Due to the decentralized, open, verifiable, and traceable characteristics of the blockchain, the data security of some or all of the contents of copyright holder data item 1241 and copyrighted work data item 1242 is guaranteed. General technical experts in this field understand that other contents of copyright holder data item 1241 and copyrighted work data item 1242 may also be stored on a blockchain node, and this disclosure is not limited to this.

[0054] As shown in Figure 1b, the copyright distribution resource generation control device 124 may include a copyright holder management module 1251, a copyright acquisition module 1252, and a copyright management module 1253.

[0055] The copyright holder management module 1251 can retrieve and manage copyright holder information. For example, when a copyright holder performs a membership registration process, the copyright holder management module 1251 can retrieve the copyright holder information entered by the copyright holder, generate copyright holder identification information (copyright holder ID), and manage the copyright holder information. The copyright holder management module 1251 can add copyright holder information to the copyright holder data item 1241, or overwrite existing parts within the copyright holder data item 1241.

[0056] The copyright acquisition module 1252 can acquire copyrighted works, such as video content, transmitted from the copyright holder's terminal. Furthermore, the copyright acquisition module 1252 can associate the video content identification with the copyright holder and store it in the copyright data item 1242. It can also use copyright holder information, such as copyright holder identification information (copyright holder ID), contained in the copyright holder management module 1252.

[0057] The copyright management module 1253 may have a function that allows copyright holders and / or their representatives to view and share video content. For example, the copyright management module 1253 can generate a copyright usage page to allow copyright holders and / or their representatives to view video content, and can also allow other users to access and view that video content.

[0058] The copyright usage page not only allows users to access and watch video content, but also provides features for commenting, tagging, and sharing on social media pages such as SNS (social networking service) software and blogs. This promotes the dissemination of copyrighted works.

[0059] General engineers in this field can understand that information regarding the pages on which a particular work is used is not limited to the URL of the page or part or all of its source code, but may also include a page ID for distinguishing the page, or a random string calculated using a hash function based on the page ID, URL, and source code, and this publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0060] General engineers in this field understand that the functions of the copyright holder management module 1251, the copyright acquisition module 1252, and the copyright management module 1253 described above do not necessarily need to be divided into each module as described above. For example, they can be implemented integrally within the copyright distribution resource generation control device, specific functions can be divided into different modules, or other module division methods can be adopted, and this publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0061] Some or all of the functions of the copyright holder management module 1251, the copyright acquisition module 1252, and the copyright management module 1253 can be executed by blockchain smart contracts. Smart contracts can be executed in a trusted execution environment, and since the executable code is protected from unauthorized tampering and attacks, the security and reliability of information processing such as copyright holder information and copyright usage page information are further guaranteed.

[0062] The copyright distribution management server 140 may be a computer used by a copyright distribution management company. The copyright distribution management server 140 may also include a second communication module 141, a second input module 142, a second output module 143, a copyright distribution resource sharing database 144, and a copyright distribution resource sharing management device 145. Furthermore, the copyright distribution management server 140 may connect to one or more video distribution companies to send and receive data.

[0063] The implementation method for the second input module 142 is the same as that for the first input module 122.

[0064] The second output module 143 may be, for example, a display, printer, or speaker for displaying data.

[0065] The copyright distribution resource sharing database 144 has the function of storing various data and programs. The data stored in the copyright distribution resource sharing database 144 includes, for example, registered user data items 1441, rights holder data items 1442, shared information data items 1443, and reward point items 1444.

[0066] Registered user data item 1441 may be a data item that stores information about a registered user. Registered user information may include, for example, registered user attribute information and registered user related information. Registered user attribute information may include, for example, user ID, username, gender, date of birth, hobbies, preferences, etc. Registered user related information may include information other than user attribute information, for example, information about sharing platforms such as WeChat (a type of instant messaging) and Weibo (a type of blogging service), information about social networking software used by specific users to share copyrighted works, such as specific web pages on blogs, login information, geographic location information, bank account information, etc.

[0067] Rights holders may include copyright holders, authorized copyright holders, copyright holders of copyrighted works, and users who share copyrighted works. Therefore, rights holder data item 1442 may include information on copyright holders, authorized copyright holders, copyright holders of copyrighted works, and sharing users who share video content from the copyrighted work distribution resource generation server 120. Rights holder information may include, for example, rights holder attribute information and rights holder related information. Rights holder attribute information may include, for example, rights holder identification information (rights holder ID), the rights holder's name, gender, date of birth, hobbies, and other personal information, and rights holder related information may include, for example, the rights holder's account information, and other information other than the rights holder's personal or corporate information.

[0068] Shared information data item 1443 may include information that allows network access to copyrighted works, such as copyrighted work storage information and copyrighted work usage page information, as well as information on copyrighted work sharing pages. Shared information data item 1443 may also include video IDs and other work IDs used by video distribution companies.

[0069] Specifically, shared information data item 1443 may include URLs of pages where the copyrighted work is used, such as the URL of the copyright holder's copyrighted work sharing page on a webpage, social networking service, or blog, and URLs of sharing users' copyrighted work sharing pages on a webpage, social networking service, or blog. Copyright holders and sharing users may use the same copyrighted work usage page or different copyrighted work usage pages, thereby promoting the rapid sharing and dissemination of the copyrighted work. This publication does not impose any restrictions on this. Copyrighted work usage pages and / or copyrighted work sharing pages may include information such as advertisements in addition to information about the copyrighted work itself. This promotes the distribution of the copyrighted work and increases revenue.

[0070] In the embodiments disclosed herein, for example, a copyright network resource such as a URL of a page where a copyrighted work is used, or a copyright-related rights holder network resource such as a URL of a copyright holder's copyrighted work sharing page, can constitute an input copyright distribution resource used for sharing and distributing copyrighted works on the network. The URL of the page where a copyrighted work is used and the URL of a co-owner's copyrighted work sharing page may also constitute an input copyright distribution resource. The input copyright distribution resource may also include the IP address of the copyright holder's terminal or the IP address of the co-owner's terminal.

[0071] Furthermore, shared information data item 1443 may also include input sharing path information. When the current sharing user shares video content from a previous user (previous sharing user or copyright holder), the input sharing path information may specifically include: the URL of the current user's copyrighted work sharing page, the URL of the previous user's copyrighted work sharing page (these can be traced back to the copyright holder or copyright holder of the work), and the URL of the page where the copyrighted work is used. In addition, the input sharing path information can be traced back to the terminal IP addresses of the current user, the previous user, and the copyright holder or copyright holder of the work.

[0072] Similarly, when a subsequent user shares video content from the current user, the output copyright distribution resource may be constructed using, for example, the URL of the subsequent user's copyright sharing page and the URL of the copyright usage page. The output copyright distribution resource may also include the IP address of the subsequent user's terminal. An output sharing path can be generated from the input sharing path information and the output copyright distribution resource. The sharing information data item 1443 may also include the output sharing path information.

[0073] In this manner, the shared information data item 1443 may include information about the sharing history and paths used by the copyright holder, the authorized copyright holder, the copyright holder of the work, and the sharing users in the process of sharing the video content. The copyright sharing page information and copyright usage page information can be implemented using methods other than URLs, such as user IDs or other methods, and this publication does not impose any restrictions on such methods.

[0074] Reward points item 1444 can store reward points generated through user sharing. It can also store how reward points are distributed among users. Reward points can be represented as a specific numerical value; quantifying reward points is convenient for distribution and statistics.

[0075] Some or all of the contents of the registered user data item 1441, rights holder data item 1442, shared information data item 1443, and reward point item 1444, such as rights holder identification information, copyright usage page URL, copyright holder's copyright sharing page URL, sharing user's copyright sharing page URL, sharing path, and reward points, may be stored on a blockchain node. The decentralized, open, verifiable, and traceable characteristics of the blockchain guarantee data security. General technical experts in this field will understand that other contents of the registered user data item 1441, rights holder data item 1442, shared information data item 1443, and reward point item 1444 may also be stored on a blockchain node, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0076] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the copyright distribution resource sharing management device 145 may include a registered user management module 1451, a rights holder management module 1452, a shared information management module 1453, and a reward awarding module 1454.

[0077] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the registered user management module 1451 may include functions for managing registered user information and managing the status of registered users' use of video content. All users who register with and use the copyright distribution management server are registered users. Registered users can view copyrighted works, such as video content, shared by rights holders. If only registered users participate in sharing, they are granted the right to receive compensation and become rights holders.

[0078] The management of registered user information includes, for example, the generation of registered user identification information (registered user ID) during user registration, and the ability to edit registered user attribute information and related information. Registered user information can be saved in the registered user data item 1441, and existing information in the registered user data item 1441 can also be overwritten. Furthermore, the registered user management module 1451 can also manage the usage status of video content. For example, it can record, summarize, and display the status of registered users viewing video content.

[0079] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the rights holder management module 1452 can acquire and manage information on rights holders who share video content (e.g., copyright holders, authorized copyright holders, copyright holders of the work, users who share the work, etc.) and manage and display the usage status of the video content by the rights holders. The rights holder's video content sharing status includes, for example, the rights holder's video content sharing history and sharing path. Furthermore, the rights holder management module 1452 may generate specific rights holder identification information (rights holder ID) for a rights holder when the rights holder performs a sharing operation for the first time.

[0080] The shared information management module 1453 can obtain information on video content shared by users. For example, when a specific user shares a specific video content, the shared information management module 1453 obtains the copyright usage page information for the specific video content and the specific copyright sharing page information of the specific user, and performs the sharing operation. Specifically, if a specific user learns about a specific video content from a previous user's shared page and decides to share that video content, the URL of the previous user's shared page and the URL of the specific copyright usage page constitute an input copyright distribution resource. The input copyright distribution resource constitutes an input sharing path by tracing the path back to the copyright holder or authorized copyright holder. In the input copyright distribution resource, for example, the specific copyright usage page and the previous user's shared page may include advertising information, which promotes the distribution and sharing of copyrighted works and generates revenue from advertising.

[0081] If a "Share" button is installed on a specific copyrighted material usage page, the sharing information management module 1453 obtains the URL of the copyrighted material usage page when a specific user presses the share button, and obtains the URL of that specific user's copyrighted material sharing page on their social media or blog based on their specific user ID. Then, it adds a link to the copyrighted material usage page URL on the specific user's copyrighted material sharing page, enabling the sharing of the specific video content on their social media or blog's copyrighted material sharing page.

[0082] Furthermore, advertising information may be added to specific users' copyright sharing pages, thereby promoting the advertisements and generating revenue. The URLs of specific users' copyright sharing pages and copyright usage pages may constitute output copyright distribution resources. Additionally, an output sharing path may be constructed from the input sharing path and output copyright distribution resources. Therefore, including advertising information in the output copyright distribution resources can promote the promotion of both copyrighted works and advertisements, thereby generating revenue.

[0083] Information about shared copyrighted works and pages using copyrighted works is not limited to URL format. For example, some or all of the source code, page IDs, etc., can be used. This publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0084] Furthermore, the shared information management module 1453 can save acquired copyrighted material usage page information, copyrighted material sharing page information, etc., to the shared information data item 1443. Alternatively, it can overwrite existing parts of the shared information data item 1443.

[0085] In the embodiment disclosed here, the shared information management module can also manage shared paths.

[0086] The shared information management module 1453 may obtain information on specific copyrighted material usage pages, information on the sharing source, and information on the sharing destinations from the shared information data items 1443, and configure and understand the sharing order and sharing path (sharing status) of users to copyrighted material usage pages. For example, the shared information management module 1453 may configure the user's sharing path and sharing order based on the copyrighted material usage page URL, the sharing source page URL, the sharing destination page URL, the sharing destination user ID, etc.

[0087] Figure 1c is an exemplary model diagram of an implementation scenario for a method of generating and sharing copyrighted material distribution resources according to one embodiment of this publication. A general expert in the art will understand that while Figure 1c illustrates an implementation scenario for a method of generating and sharing copyrighted material distribution resources, this does not constitute a limitation on this publication. Specifically, Figure 1c illustrates the process of forming a shared path step by step based on the URL of the page where the copyrighted material is used.

[0088] As shown in Figure 1c, the copyright sharing page URL of the first user (for example, the copyright holder's copyright sharing page URL), which is directly shared from the copyright usage page URL 161 (video usage page URL), is located at the first sharing location 162, which belongs to the first level, and the occupation of the first user is a student. There may be one or more first sharing locations in the first level, for example, the occupation of the sharer at sharing location 1621 is a civil servant. Next, the copyright sharing page URL of the second user, which shares the copyright usage page URL from the first user's copyright sharing page URL, is located at the second sharing location 163, and the occupation of the second user is a company employee. The second sharing location belongs to the second level.

[0089] Shared location 1631 is also located in the second tier, and the occupation of its sharer is a doctor. Similarly, the third shared location 164 is the location of the copyrighted work sharing page URL of a third user who obtained the copyrighted work usage page URL by sharing it from the second user's copyrighted work sharing page URL, and it belongs to the third tier, and the occupation of the third user is a student. The third tier may have one or more third shared locations.

[0090] The nth shared location 165 is the location of the copyright sharing page URL of the nth user, which was obtained by sharing from the copyright sharing page URL of the (n-1)th user, and belongs to the nth level, and the occupation of the nth user is student. There may be one or more nth shared locations in the nth level.

[0091] In the publicly disclosed example, a shared path consisting of user 1, user 2, user 3, ..., user n has a high proportion of users with the occupation "student".

[0092] In the embodiment described herein, when a third user learns of a specific video content from a second user's shared page and shares that video content, the URL of the second user's shared page and the URL of the page using the copyrighted work constitute an input copyrighted work distribution resource. The input copyrighted work distribution resource may also include the IP address of the second user's terminal. The input copyrighted work distribution resource traces back to the first user and constitutes an input sharing path.

[0093] If a "Share" button is installed on a specific copyrighted material usage page, the sharing information management module 1453 in Figure 1b obtains the URL of the copyrighted material usage page when a third user presses the "Share" button, and obtains the URL of that specific user's copyrighted material sharing page, such as on social media or a blog, based on the third user's ID. Then, it adds a link to the copyrighted material usage page URL on the third user's copyrighted material sharing page, enabling the sharing of the specific video content on the social media or blog's copyrighted material sharing page.

[0094] The URL of the third user's copyrighted work sharing page and the URL of the copyrighted work usage page may constitute the output copyrighted work distribution resource. The output copyrighted work distribution resource may also include the IP address of the third user's terminal. The output sharing path may be composed of the input sharing path and the output copyrighted work distribution resource.

[0095] In the examples presented here, by inserting advertisements not only into the copyrighted work itself, but also into the pages where the copyrighted work is used and shared, it is possible to promote the distribution of the copyrighted work and generate further revenue.

[0096] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the sharing path and sharing order of copyrighted material usage pages in video content can be configured by associating the URL of the copyrighted material usage page, the URL of the copyrighted material sharing page of each sharing user at each level, and each sharing location. Alternatively, the sharing path and sharing order to copyrighted material usage pages in video content can be configured using user IDs corresponding to the sharing source and sharing destination, for example.

[0097] In the sharing process, a third user may generate a specific numerical amount of reward points, for example, based on the sharing from the fourth user to the nth user, and this specific numerical amount is distributed according to the sharing path from the first user to the second user and then to the third user, for example, the specific numerical amount is distributed from largest to smallest among the first, second, and third users according to the sharing path. Alternatively, the specific numerical amount may be distributed from the third user to the second user and then to the first user, for example, the specific numerical amount may be distributed from smallest to largest or in equal proportions among the third, second, and first users according to the sharing path.

[0098] During the sharing process, subsequent distribution resources for the copyrighted work corresponding to the fourth user... and so on, resulting from the sharing by the third user, may also be acquired.

[0099] The attribute information of a subsequent copyright distribution resource includes at least one of the following: user information that generates the subsequent copyright distribution resource, gender of the user that generates the subsequent copyright distribution resource, age of the user that generates the subsequent copyright distribution resource, occupation of the user that generates the subsequent copyright distribution resource, hobbies of the user that generates the subsequent copyright distribution resource, shopping history of the user that generates the subsequent copyright distribution resource, social networking platform of the user that generates the subsequent copyright distribution resource, geographical location of the user that generates the subsequent copyright distribution resource, sharing platform that generated the subsequent copyright distribution resource, access users in the subsequent copyright distribution resource, gender of access users in the subsequent copyright distribution resource, and geographical location of access users in the subsequent copyright distribution resource.

[0100] Through the analysis and statistics of attribute information of subsequent copyright distribution resources, it is possible to analyze data such as the gender distribution, age distribution, occupation distribution, hobby distribution, shopping distribution, social platform distribution, geographical location distribution, and the proportion of each sharing platform used by users who watch and share video content. This allows for the determination of, for example, the types of end users that should be targeted, whether or not advertising is appropriate, and the attributes of the advertisements, thereby enabling more accurate promotion of copyrighted works and increasing the added value of copyright distribution through advertising.

[0101] For example, if a particular advertisement has a good promotional effect on the "students" group, the shared information management module 1453 in Figure 1b can recommend a shared path consisting of users 1, 2, 3, ..., n to the advertiser. The advertiser can then deliver the advertisement based on this shared path, targeting the first, third, ..., nth users whose occupation is "students," and deliver the specific advertisement to them, thereby achieving a better advertising promotion effect.

[0102] General engineers in this field may specify and deliver certain advertisements to the first, third, ..., nth users whose occupation is "student" on this shared path, and this publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0103] In the embodiment described herein, advertising information can be added to the copyright sharing pages of subsequent copyright distribution resources, for example, from the fourth user to the nth user, thereby promoting both the copyrighted works and the advertisements.

[0104] A general engineer in this field may acquire subsequent copyright distribution resources from any nth user to the n+kth user, and may add advertising information to the copyright sharing pages of any nth user to the n+kth user, thereby promoting both the copyright and the advertisements.

[0105] In the embodiments of this disclosure, based on the promotion of the copyrighted work and the advertisement, the specific numerical quantity may arise from the promotion of the copyrighted work, from the promotion of the advertisement, or separately from the promotion of the copyrighted work and the advertisement and be accumulated, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0106] In the embodiment disclosed herein, a specific numerical quantity may be distributed from the nth user to the n+kth user in order from largest to smallest, following a shared path, from front to back, or from the n+k user to the nth user in order from smallest to largest, following a shared path, from back to front.

[0107] General engineers in this field may distribute a specific numerical quantity in a shared path in a different order or in a different ratio order for that quantity, such as a geometric distribution, between the nth user and the n+kth user, and this publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0108] Reward points may be implemented using currency, bonuses, coupons, or other methods, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on such methods.

[0109] In the embodiments disclosed herein, some or all of the functions of the registered user management module 1451, the rights holder management module 1452, the shared information management module 1453, and the reward awarding module 1454 may be executed by blockchain smart contracts. Smart contracts can be executed in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), and the execution code is protected from unauthorized tampering and attacks, thus further guaranteeing the security and reliability of information processing processes such as copyright holder information, copyright usage pages, and copyright sharing page information.

[0110] General engineers in this field understand that the functions of the registered user management module 1451, rights holder management module 1452, shared information management module 1453, and compensation distribution module 1454 do not necessarily need to be divided into each module as described above. For example, they understand that they can be implemented integrally within the copyright distribution resource sharing management device, specific functions can be divided into different modules, or other module division methods can be adopted. This publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0111] Figure 2 is a flowchart of the method for sharing a copyrighted work based on the embodiment disclosed herein. As shown in Figure 2, the method for sharing a copyrighted work includes steps S201, S202, S203, S204, S205, and S206.

[0112] Step S201 involves obtaining input copyright distribution resources using a processing unit. Step S201 is the step for obtaining input copyright distribution resources.

[0113] Step S202 is the step of obtaining the input sharing path, which includes the copyright distribution resources.

[0114] Step S203 generates output copyright distribution resources from input copyright distribution resources. Step S203 is the step of generating output copyright distribution resources.

[0115] Step S204 generates an output shared path using the input shared path and the output copyright distribution resource. Step S204 is the step of generating the output shared path.

[0116] Step S205 is the step of obtaining a specific numerical quantity generated by the output sharing path.

[0117] Step S206 distributes a specific numerical quantity to the nodes in the output shared path. Step S206 is the step of distributing a specific numerical quantity.

[0118] In the embodiments disclosed herein, the processing unit may be a device such as a computer, notebook, smartphone, tablet, or server, or equipment such as a CPU, GPU, FPGA, TPU, or ASIC that performs information processing, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0119] In the embodiment disclosed herein, as shown in Figure 1c, when a third user learns of a specific video content from a second user's shared page and attempts to share that video content, the URL of the second user's shared page and the URL of the copyrighted work usage page constitute an input copyrighted work distribution resource. The input copyrighted work distribution resource may also include the IP address of the second user's terminal. The input copyrighted work distribution resource traces back to the first user and constitutes an input sharing path.

[0120] If a "Share" button is installed on a specific copyrighted material usage page, the sharing information management module 1453 in Figure 1b obtains the URL of the copyrighted material usage page when a third user presses the "Share" button, and obtains the URL of that user's copyrighted material sharing page, such as on social media or a blog, based on the third user's ID. Then, it adds a link to the copyrighted material usage page URL on the third user's copyrighted material sharing page, enabling the sharing of the specific video content on the social media or blog's copyrighted material sharing page.

[0121] The URL of the third user's copyrighted work sharing page and the URL of the copyrighted work usage page may constitute the output copyrighted work distribution resource. The output copyrighted work distribution resource may also include the IP address of the third user's terminal. The output sharing path may be constructed from the input sharing path and the output copyrighted work distribution resource.

[0122] In the examples presented here, by inserting advertisements not only into the copyrighted work itself, but also into the pages where the copyrighted work is used and shared, it is possible to promote the distribution of the copyrighted work and generate further revenue.

[0123] In the embodiment disclosed herein, during the sharing process, a third user can generate a specific numerical quantity, for example, in reward points, through sharing from a subsequent fourth user to the nth user. The specific numerical quantity may be obtained and distributed according to a sharing path from the first user to the second user and then to the third user. For example, the specific numerical quantity may be enjoyed by the first user, the second user and the third user in order from largest to smallest according to the sharing path.

[0124] In the embodiment disclosed herein, a specific numerical quantity may be distributed according to a shared path from the third user to the second user and then to the first user. For example, the specific numerical quantity may be shared among the third user, the second user and the first user in order from smallest to largest according to the shared path.

[0125] General engineers in this field may understand that certain numerical quantities may be shared among the first, second, and third users in other orders or other ratio methods, such as geometric methods, and that this publication imposes no restrictions on this.

[0126] In the embodiments described herein, a specific numerical quantity may be a reward point, which may be implemented in a currency-based, bonus-based, coupon-based, or other manner, and this disclosure imposes no restrictions on such implementation.

[0127] In this publicly released implementation method, the distribution of copyrighted works is realized through a method in which co-owners can earn revenue, comprising: an input copyrighted work distribution resource acquisition step using a processing unit to acquire input copyrighted work distribution resources; an input shared path acquisition step to acquire input shared paths containing copyrighted work distribution resources; an output copyrighted work distribution resource generation step to generate output copyrighted work distribution resources from input copyrighted work distribution resources; an output shared path generation step to generate output shared paths from input shared paths and output copyrighted work distribution resources; a specific numerical quantity acquisition step to acquire specific numerical quantities generated by output shared paths; and a specific numerical quantity distribution step to distribute specific numerical quantities to nodes in output shared paths.

[0128] This method of implementation, by including advertising information in at least one of the input copyright distribution resource and the output copyright distribution resource, can promote both copyrighted works and advertisements, thereby generating more revenue.

[0129] According to the implementation method described herein, the procedure for distributing specific numerical quantities involves distributing these quantities sequentially to each node within the output sharing path, either from front to back or back to front. This allows co-owners at each level to benefit and promotes the circulation of copyrighted works.

[0130] In this method of implementation, the procedure for distributing specific numerical quantities includes the following: distributing the specific numerical quantities to each node in the output sharing path in a ratio from large to small, following a forward-to-back order along the output sharing path; or, the procedure for distributing specific numerical quantities includes the following: distributing the specific numerical quantities to each node in the output sharing path in a ratio from small to large, following a backward-to-forward order along the output sharing path, thereby enabling higher-level co-owners to earn more revenue and promoting the circulation of copyrighted works.

[0131] General engineers in this field understand that they may use other ratio methods when allocating specific numerical quantities, and that this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on such use.

[0132] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a copyright sharing method based on another embodiment in this publication. As shown in Figure 3, the copyright sharing method includes steps S201 to S206, similar to those in Figure 2, but also includes step S301. In step S301, all subsequent copyright distribution resources generated sequentially from the output copyright distribution resource are acquired. Step S301 is the acquisition step for subsequent copyright distribution resources.

[0133] This method of public disclosure allows for the acquisition of subsequent copyright distribution resources for output copyright distribution resources, thereby providing a thorough understanding of the subsequent distribution status of copyrighted works. This enables more accurate promotion of copyrighted works and increases the added value of copyright distribution.

[0134] In the examples presented here, through the analysis and statistics of attribute information of subsequent copyright distribution resources, it is possible to analyze data such as the gender distribution, geographical location distribution, and proportion of different sharing platforms used by users who share and watch video content. For example, it is possible to determine the types of end users that should be prioritized, whether or not to promote advertising, and the attributes of the advertisements.

[0135] According to the method of implementation of this disclosure, the attribute information of the subsequent copyright distribution resource will include at least one of the following: the user who generated the subsequent copyright distribution resource, the gender of the user who generated the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, the age of the user who generated the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, the occupation of the user who generated the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, the preferences of the user who generated the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, the shopping history of the user who generated the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, the SNS platform of the user who generated the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, the geographical location of the user who generated the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, the sharing platform that generated the subsequent copyright distribution resource, the access user of the subsequent copyright distribution resource, the gender of the access user of the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, and the geographical location of the access user of the said subsequent copyright distribution resource. This will enable more accurate promotion of copyrighted works and increase the added value of copyright distribution.

[0136] In the embodiment disclosed herein, in addition to steps S201-S206 and S301, an advertisement placement step is included. In this step, attribute information of the subsequent copyright distribution resource is obtained, and advertisements are placed in the subsequent copyright distribution resource based on the attribute information of the subsequent copyright distribution resource.

[0137] The implementation method for this publication includes an advertising step. In this step, attribute information of subsequent copyright distribution resources is obtained, and advertisements are placed within those resources based on that attribute information, thereby promoting the distribution and promotion of copyrighted works and advertisements, and generating more revenue.

[0138] In the method of implementation of this disclosure, at least one of the following is used: input copyright distribution resource, output copyright distribution resource, input shared path, output shared path, subsequent copyright distribution resource, generating user in the subsequent copyright distribution resource, gender of the generating user in the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, age of the generating user in the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, occupation of the generating user in the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, preferences of the generating user in the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, shopping history of the generating user in the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, SNS platform of the generating user in the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, geographical location of the generating user in the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, sharing platform that generated the subsequent copyright distribution resource, access user in the subsequent copyright distribution resource, gender of the access user in the said subsequent copyright distribution resource, and geographical location of the access user in the said subsequent copyright distribution resource. Stored on a blockchain node; and / or obtained input copyright distribution resources by a blockchain smart contract; and / or obtained an input shared path containing copyright distribution resources by a blockchain smart contract; and / or generated output copyright distribution resources from input copyright distribution resources by a blockchain smart contract; and / or generated an output shared path from the input shared path and output copyright distribution resources by a blockchain smart contract; and / or generated a specific numerical quantity from the output shared path by a blockchain smart contract; and / or distributed the specific numerical quantity to the nodes in the output shared path by a blockchain smart contract; and / or obtained all subsequent copyright distribution resources sequentially generated from the output copyright distribution resources by a blockchain smart contract;And / or by using blockchain smart contracts to obtain attribute information of subsequent copyright distribution resources, and by injecting advertisements into those resources based on that attribute information, data security is guaranteed due to the decentralized, open, verifiable, and traceable characteristics of blockchain, and the execution code is protected from unauthorized tampering and attacks, thereby further guaranteeing the security and reliability of the information processing process.
