Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of computer technology, and specifically to the generation and sharing methods, devices, equipment, and platforms of copyrighted content resources.

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 right 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.

[0047] In the embodiments of this publication, the original copyright distribution resource database 124 can store various data, such as copyright holder data items 1241 and copyright data items 1242. The copyright holder data items 1241 and copyright data items 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 limitations thereon. The original copyright distribution resource database 124 may be stored in storage media formats such as hard disk drives, solid drives, and flash memory, or in other storage media formats, and this publication does not impose any limitations thereon.

[0048] 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.

[0049] 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.

[0050] 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.

[0051] 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.

[0052] 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.

[0053] 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.

[0054] 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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] Some or all of the content contained in copyright holder data item 1241 and copyrighted work data item 1242, such as copyright holder information, copyrighted work storage URL, and copyrighted work usage page URL, may be stored on a blockchain node. The decentralized, open, verifiable, and traceable characteristics of the blockchain guarantee the data security of some or all of the content contained in copyright holder data item 1241 and copyrighted work data item 1242. A general expert in this field understands that other content contained in copyright holder data item 1241 and copyrighted work data item 1242 may also be stored on a blockchain node, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0058] 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.

[0059] The copyright holder management module 1251 can acquire and manage copyright holder information. For example, when a copyright holder performs the member registration process, the copyright holder management module 1251 can acquire the copyright holder information entered by the copyright holder and generate copyright holder identification information (copyright holder ID). Subsequently, the copyright holder management module 1251 can generate a copyright holder management page for the copyright holder to manage their own information and transmit this page to the copyright holder terminal 110 via the network 150. Copyright holders can add and edit copyright holder information through the copyright holder management page. The copyright holder management module 1251 can also add the edited copyright holder information to the copyright holder data item 1241 or overwrite existing parts of the copyright holder data item 1241. The copyright holder management module 1251 can also acquire and manage proxy copyright holder information.

[0060] The copyright acquisition module 1252 can acquire copyrighted works, such as video content, from the copyright holder terminal 110. Furthermore, when acquiring video content, the copyright acquisition module 1252 can generate video identification information (video ID) and store it in the copyright data item 1242 in association with the copyright holder. When the copyright acquisition module 1252 associates video content with the copyright holder, it can use copyright holder information from the copyright holder management module 1251, such as copyright holder identification information (copyright holder ID).

[0061] The copyright management module 1253 may include functions for 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, allowing copyright holders and / or their representatives to view the video content, and enabling other users to access and view the video content. After the copyright acquisition module 1252 acquires copyright information for video content, for example, the copyright management module 1253 may automatically generate a copyright usage page, or it may be generated by the copyright holder and / or their representative.

[0062] In addition to allowing users to access and view video content, copyright usage pages may also include features such as commenting, marking, and sharing on social media pages, such as SNS software or blogs. Furthermore, the copyright management module 1253 can also store copyright usage page information, such as the URL of the copyright usage page and the code of the copyright usage page, in the copyright data item 1242.

[0063] General engineers in this field 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 that this publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0064] 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.

[0065] 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.

[0066] 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.

[0067] The second communication module 141 may be used to connect to the network 150 and may include, for example, an adapter for connecting to Ethernet®, a modem for connecting to a public telephone network, wireless communication equipment for wireless communication, a USB connector, an RS232C connector, etc. The second communication module 141 can be connected to the copyright holder terminal 110 and the user terminal 130, and the copyright holder or user can access the copyright distribution management server 140.

[0068] The second input module 142 includes the function of inputting and selecting information through user operations such as keyboards, mice, and touchpads. It can also function as a touch panel with an integrated display module such as an LCD or organic LED display for smartphones, tablet computers, and PCs. The second input module 142 may also have other functions such as voice input, video input, and image recognition, and this publication does not impose any limitations on these.

[0069] The second output module 143 may be, for example, a display, printer, or speaker that outputs data.

[0070] 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.

[0071] The 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 social networking software used by a specific user to share copyrighted works, such as a specific web page on a blog, login information, bank account information, etc. Information about a specific web page may include, for example, the URL of the web page, part or all of the source code of the web page, a string such as a code output based on the URL or source code of the web page, or a string obtained from, for example, a hash function.

[0072] 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.

[0073] 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.

[0074] Specifically, shared information data item 1443 may include URLs of pages where copyrighted works are used, such as the URL of a copyright holder's copyrighted work sharing page on a webpage, social networking service, or blog, or the URL of a sharing user's copyrighted work sharing page on a webpage, social networking service, or blog. Shared information data item 1443 may also include copyrighted work usage page ID and / or source code, copyrighted work sharing page ID and / or source code, copyrighted work management page ID, URL, source code, or other forms of information. Copyright holders and sharing users can use the same copyrighted work usage page or different copyrighted work usage pages, which can help facilitate the rapid sharing and dissemination of copyrighted works. This publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0075] In the embodiments disclosed herein, for example, a copyright network resource such as the URL of a page where the copyrighted work is used, a network resource of a copyright holder related to the copyrighted work such as the URL of the copyright holder's copyrighted work sharing page, and an IP address of the copyright holder's terminal may constitute a first copyright distribution resource and be used for sharing and distributing the copyrighted work on the network.

[0076] Furthermore, the shared information data item 1443 may also include shared path information. When the current sharing user shares video content from a previous user (a previous sharing user or copyright holder), the shared 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, and can be traced back to the copyright holder, the copyright holder of the work, or the URL of the page where the work is being used.

[0077] Similarly, when a current user shares video content with a subsequent user (who can not only use but also share the copyrighted work), the sharing information data item 1443 may include the URL of the copyrighted work sharing page from the preceding user to the current user, the URL of the copyrighted work usage page, and the subsequent user ID, thereby forming the sharing path information. In this way, the sharing information data item 1443 may also include information about the sharing history and path during the process of the copyright holder, the authorized copyright holder, the copyright holder of the work, and the sharing users sharing the video content. The copyrighted work sharing page information of the sharing source, the copyrighted work sharing page information of the recipient, and the copyrighted work usage page information can also be implemented in ways other than URLs. For example, they may be implemented by the user ID of the sharing source or recipient, or by other means. This publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0078] Reward points item 1444 not only stores the rewards generated by user sharing, but also stores how those rewards are distributed among users.

[0079] The registered user data item 1441, the rights holder data item 1442, the shared information data item 1443, and the reward points item 1444 may be implemented in structured data format, unstructured data format, or in the format of an independent database. This publication does not impose any restrictions on this. The copyright distribution resource sharing database 144 may be stored in storage media formats such as hard disk drives, solid drives, flash memory, etc., or in other storage media formats. This publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0080] Some or all of the content contained in Registered User Data Item 1441, Rights Holder Data Item 1442, Shared Information Data Item 1443, and Reward Point Item 1444, including 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. Due to the decentralized, open, verifiable, and traceable characteristics of the blockchain, the data security of some or all of the content in Registered User Data Item 1441, Rights Holder Data Item 1442, Shared Information Data Item 1443, and Reward Point Item 1444 is guaranteed. General technical experts in this field can understand that other content in 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.

[0081] 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.

[0082] 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.

[0083] 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.

[0084] 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 copyrighted works, users who share copyrighted works, etc.) and manage and display the usage status of the video content by the rights holders. For example, when a registered user performs a sharing operation, the rights holder management module 1452 can register and edit the rights holder information and generate a rights holder management page that includes information on the shared video content. Subsequently, the rights holder management page can display the usage status of the video content by the rights holders and the sharing status of the video content by the rights holders. The video content sharing status of the rights holders includes, for example, the sharing history and sharing path of the video content by the rights holders. In addition, when a rights holder performs a sharing operation for the first time, the rights holder management module 1452 can generate specific rights holder identification information (rights holder ID) for that rights holder.

[0085] The shared information management module 1453 can obtain information about a user's video content sharing. For example, when a specific user shares specific video content, the shared information management module 1453 can obtain information about the copyrighted work usage page for that specific video content and information about the specific copyrighted work sharing page for that specific user. Specifically, if a "Share" button is installed on a specific copyrighted work usage page, when a specific user presses the share button, the shared information management module 1453 can obtain the URL of the copyrighted work usage page, and based on a specific user ID, obtain the URL of a specific copyrighted work sharing page, such as on a social networking service or blog, and add a link to the copyrighted work usage page URL on the specific copyrighted work sharing page. This allows, for example, a specific video content to be shared on a specific copyrighted work sharing page on a social networking service or blog. Furthermore, if a specific user accesses a copyrighted work through sharing by another user, the shared information management module 1453 can also obtain the URL of the copyrighted work sharing page of the previous user that was the source of the sharing. Moreover, the copyrighted work sharing page information for the source and destination of the sharing, and the copyrighted work usage page information, are not limited to URL format; for example, some or all of the source code, the page ID, etc., can also be used, and this publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0086] 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.

[0087] In the embodiment disclosed here, the shared information management module can also manage shared paths.

[0088] 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.

[0089] 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.

[0090] As shown in Figure 1c, the copyright sharing page URL of the first user (for example, the copyright holder's copyright sharing page URL) shared directly from the copyright usage page URL 161 (video usage page URL) is located at the first sharing position 162, which belongs to the first level. There may be one or more first sharing positions in the first level. Next, the copyright sharing page URL of the second user, which shared the copyright usage page URL via the first user's copyright sharing page URL, is located at the second sharing position 163. The second sharing position belongs to the second level. Similarly, the nth sharing position 165 is the location of the copyright sharing page URL of the nth user, which shared the copyright usage page URL via the copyright sharing page URL of the (n-1)th user, and belongs to the nth level. There may be one or more nth sharing positions in the nth level.

[0091] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the sharing path and sharing order of the video's copyrighted material usage pages can be configured by associating the copyrighted material usage page URL, the copyrighted material sharing page URLs of sharing users at each level, and each sharing location. Furthermore, the sharing path and sharing order of the video's copyrighted material usage pages can also be configured, for example, using user IDs corresponding to the sharing source and sharing destination.

[0092] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the reward module 1454 in Figure 1b may include a function to provide rewards to users who contribute to the use of video content (e.g., by watching or sharing video content). For example, the reward module 1454 can provide reward points to users who have generated a certain number of lower-level users or co-users based on the copyrighted work usage page. Furthermore, as a method of awarding reward points, it may select, for example, the sharing path with the most sharing users. The reward module 1454 may also distribute reward points among contributing users based on certain rules.

[0093] General engineers in this field may employ other methods to determine reward points. Reward points may be in the form of currency, bonuses, coupons, or other methods, and it should be understood that this publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0094] 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.

[0095] 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.

[0096] In the embodiments disclosed herein, with reference to Figures 1a to 1c, the complete process of distribution and sharing of copyrighted works can be realized in the following manner.

[0097] The copyright distribution resource generation server 120 may generate a first copyright distribution resource based, for example, copyright information of video content, or, for example, copyright information of video content and copyright holder information such as the name of the copyright holder. The first copyright distribution resource may consist of a copyright network resource, a copyright-related rights holder network resource, and the IP address of the copyright holder's terminal. The copyright network resource may include, for example, the URL of the page where the copyright is used. The copyright holder network resource may also include, for example, the URL of the copyright holder's copyright sharing page (the first user's copyright sharing page URL).

[0098] The copyright distribution resource generation server 120 or the copyright distribution management server 140 can distribute the first copyright distribution resource.

[0099] When a second user accesses the copyright usage page URL through the copyright holder's copyright sharing page URL, they can view the video content. The first copyright distribution resource, or input copyright distribution resource, constitutes the second user's input sharing path. When the second user shares the video content, they can click the "Share" button on the copyright usage page. The sharing information management module 1453 in the copyright distribution management server 140 can use the second user's user ID to obtain, for example, the second user's copyright sharing page URL on their SNS or blog, and add the copyright usage page URL to the second user's copyright sharing page, thereby enabling the promotion of the video content.

[0100] The URL of the page where the copyrighted work is used, the URL of the second user's copyrighted work sharing page, and the IP address of the second user's terminal constitute a second copyrighted work distribution resource, or output copyrighted work distribution resource. The output copyrighted work distribution resource is distributed and can be used to facilitate the widespread dissemination of the copyrighted work. An output sharing path can be generated from the input sharing path and the output copyrighted work distribution resource. Similarly, for the nth user, the nth copyrighted work distribution resource (output copyrighted work distribution resource) can be generated from the (n-1)th copyrighted work distribution resource (input copyrighted work distribution resource) and the nth user's copyrighted work sharing page URL, and the nth user's output sharing path can be generated from the nth user's input sharing path and the nth copyrighted work distribution resource.

[0101] Furthermore, for the nth user, the subsequent copyright distribution resources and shared paths resulting from their sharing contribute to the promotion of copyrighted works such as video content, so the reward awarding module 1454 of the copyright distribution management server 140 may generate reward points. For the nth user, the preceding users from the first user to the (n-1)th user have also made a certain contribution, so the reward points can be distributed among the first user, ..., the (n-1)th user, and the nth user according to certain rules, thereby providing an incentive to the users.

[0102] In the embodiment disclosed herein, when a user shares video content on a website, the copyright distribution management system 100 can obtain the sharing information. Subsequently, based on the sharing information, the copyright distribution management system 100 can understand the sharing history and sharing paths of users who share and view the video content. Furthermore, based on the usage and sharing status of the video content, the copyright distribution management system 100 can encourage users to distribute content in an easy and legitimate way by providing benefits such as reward points, thereby suppressing the unauthorized dissemination of video content. In addition, the copyright distribution management system 100 has the effect of encouraging users to discover and spread excellent video content, contributing to the development and promotion of the entire copyright industry, including video content. Moreover, since the copyright distribution management system 100 has the effect of benefiting copyright holders as video content becomes more widely distributed, it can encourage copyright holders to share video content.

[0103] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the shared path and sharing history can be implemented by means other than URLs. For example, the copyright distribution management system 100 may obtain the sharing status of video content on the user's terminal and construct the shared path and sharing history based on the IP address of the user's terminal.

[0104] Specifically, the copyright holder terminal 110 and the user terminal 130 may download and install an application specifically for the copyright distribution management system 100. The copyright holder terminal 110 can send and receive data from the copyright distribution resource generation server 120 and the copyright distribution management server 140 via the network 150. The user terminal 130 can send and receive data from the copyright distribution management server 140 via the network 150.

[0105] First, when a copyright holder creates a specific copyrighted work, such as video content, the copyright distribution resource generation server 120 generates a copyright ID (copyright identification information) for that specific copyrighted work. Then, when the copyright holder uses their own terminal to share the video content with other specific users, for example via social networking services (SNS), the copyright distribution management server 140 obtains the copyright ID and the IP address of the user's terminal and can construct a sharing path and sharing order. Similarly, when a user shares video content with another user, the copyright distribution management server 140 also obtains the IP address of the other user's terminal. Next, the copyright distribution management system 100 can construct and track the sharing history and sharing path of the copyrighted work based on sharing information, for example, the IP address of the terminal.

[0106] General engineers in this field understand that shared information may include information about pages where copyrighted works are used, and may also include other information formats such as the IP address of the copyright holder's terminal and the IP address of the user's terminal, and that this publication does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0107] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for generating copyright distribution resources based on one embodiment of this disclosure. The method for generating copyright distribution resources shown in Figure 2 may be applied to copyright holders, rights holders, or sharing users who initiate the initial sharing of a copyrighted work.

[0108] As shown in Figure 2, the method for generating a copyright distribution resource includes steps S201, S202, and S203. In step S201, a first processing unit may be used to generate a first copyright distribution resource based on copyright information, or copyright information and copyright-related rights holder information, or copyright information and the IP address of a terminal, or copyright information, copyright-related rights holder information, and the IP address of a terminal.

[0109] In step S202, the first copyright distribution resource is distributed. In step S203, the shared path for the first copyright distribution resource is obtained. The first copyright distribution resource includes one or more of the following: a copyright network resource, a copyright-related rights holder network resource, and the IP address of the terminal.

[0110] The first processing unit may be a device such as a computer, laptop, smartphone, tablet, or server, or equipment such as a CPU, GPU, FPGA, TPU, or ASIC that performs information processing, and this publication is not limited to these.

[0111] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the copyright distribution resource generation server 120 may generate a first copyright distribution resource based, for example, copyright information of video content, or copyright information of video content and copyright-related rights holder information such as the name of the copyright holder. The first copyright distribution resource may consist of a copyright network resource and a copyright-related rights holder network resource. The copyright network resource may include, for example, the URL of a page where the copyright is used, and the copyright-related rights holder network resource may include, for example, the URL of the copyright holder's copyright sharing page (the URL of the first user's copyright sharing page).

[0112] The copyright distribution resource generation server 120 or the copyright distribution management server 140 can publish the first copyright distribution resource.

[0113] In this implementation method of public release, the first processing unit is used to generate a first copyright distribution resource based on copyright information, or copyright information and copyright holder information related to the copyright, and the first copyright distribution resource is distributed to realize the initial distribution of the copyright.

[0114] In this publication implementation method, copyright information may include at least one of the following: image information, video content information, audio information, animation information, game information, text information, copyright identification, copyright type, copyright age recommendation information, copyright feature information, copyright duration, copyright resolution, and set copyright identification information; and / or copyright-related rights holder information may include at least one of the following: copyright holder information, agent copyright holder information, and copyright holder information may include at least one of the following: copyright holder identification, copyright holder's name, copyright holder's gender, copyright holder's date of birth, copyright holder's hobbies, copyright holder's account information, and other direct and indirect information of the copyright holder; and / or agent copyright holder information may include at least one of the following: agent copyright holder identification, agent copyright holder's name or title, agent copyright holder's account information, and other direct and indirect information of the agent copyright holder. By clearly depicting copyright information and copyright-related rights holder information, it is possible to promote the distribution of copyrighted works and protect rights.

[0115] According to the implementation method of this disclosure, the first copyright distribution resource includes at least one of the following: a copyright network resource, and a copyright-related rights holder network resource. This makes it possible to clearly depict information on the distribution of copyrighted works and to promote the distribution of copyrighted works.

[0116] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the method for generating a copyright distribution resource may include, in addition to steps S201 and S202, obtaining a shared path for the first copyright distribution resource. The shared path for the first copyright distribution resource may be a shared path created by the copyright holder through sharing with subsequent users or promotion.

[0117] This public release method allows us to obtain a shared path to the first copyright distribution resource, thereby understanding the sharing history of the copyrighted work and providing the basis for generating reward points.

[0118] In the embodiments disclosed herein, the method for generating a copyright distribution resource may include obtaining a numerical quantity generated by the shared path of the first copyright distribution resource.

[0119] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the numerical amount generated by the shared path of the first copyright distribution resource may be the reward points generated by the shared path of the first copyright distribution resource.

[0120] This public release method allows copyright holders, rights holders, or those who initiate sharing of a work for the first time to benefit by obtaining numerical values ​​generated by the shared path of the first copyright distribution resource, thereby promoting the legal dissemination of copyrighted works.

[0121] In this implementation method, at least one of the first copyright distribution resource, the shared path to the first copyright distribution resource, and the numerical quantity generated by the shared path to the first copyright distribution resource is stored on a blockchain node; and / or the first copyright distribution resource is generated based on copyright information, or the copyright information and copyright holder information, by a smart contract on the blockchain, and the first copyright distribution resource is distributed; and / or the shared path to the first copyright distribution resource is obtained by a smart contract on the blockchain; and / or the numerical quantity generated by the shared path to the first copyright distribution resource is obtained by a smart contract on the blockchain, thereby ensuring reliable storage of data, prevention of tampering, and security and protection of data processing.

[0122] Figure 3 is a flowchart of the operation method of a copyright distribution platform based on one embodiment of this disclosure. The copyright distribution platform operation method shown in Figure 3 is applicable to copyright distribution platforms.

[0123] As shown in Figure 3, the method for operating a copyright distribution platform may include steps S301, S302, S303, and S304. In step S301, a first copyright distribution resource is obtained using a second processing unit. In step S302, a second copyright distribution resource is generated from the first copyright distribution resource based on a sharing request from user A. In step S303, a first shared path is generated from the first and second copyright distribution resources. In step S304, the second copyright distribution resource is distributed.

[0124] The second processing unit may be a device such as a computer, laptop, smartphone, tablet, or server, or equipment such as a CPU, GPU, FPGA, TPU, or ASIC capable of information processing, and this publication is not limited to these.

[0125] In the examples presented here, the dissemination of copyrighted works is achieved through influential copyright distribution platforms, and the rapid dissemination of copyrighted works is realized by leveraging the influence of these platforms.

[0126] The copyright distribution platform of the copyright distribution management server 140 can obtain a first copyright distribution resource, namely the URL of the copyright usage page and the URL of the prior user's copyright sharing page, and can also obtain the IP address of the prior user's terminal. When user A makes a sharing request, that is, when user A clicks "Share", a second copyright distribution resource can be generated from the first copyright distribution resource, namely user A's SNS (user A's copyright sharing page URL) which includes the URL of the copyright usage page and a link to the copyright usage page URL. The second copyright distribution resource may also include the IP address of user A's terminal, and the second copyright distribution resource can be distributed. A first sharing path can be generated from the first and second copyright distribution resources.

[0127] In this implementation method, a second processing unit is used to acquire a first copyright distribution resource, a second copyright distribution resource is generated from the first copyright distribution resource based on a sharing request from user A, a first sharing path is generated from the first and second copyright distribution resources, and the second copyright distribution resource is distributed, thereby realizing the legal sharing and distribution of copyrighted works, such as video content, on the copyright distribution platform.

[0128] In the embodiments of this Publication, the first copyright distribution resource can be generated by the copyright holder. According to the implementation of this Publication, the generation of the first copyright distribution resource by the copyright holder ensures that the rights of copyright holders, such as copyright holders and / or their representatives, are fully protected on the copyright distribution platform. A general expert in the art will understand that the first copyright distribution resource may also be generated by the copyright holder of the work, or by other co-owners legally related to the work, thereby ensuring the rights of the copyright holder, and that this Publication is not limited to this.

[0129] Figure 4 is a flowchart of the operation method of a copyright distribution platform based on one embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 4, it includes the same steps S301, S302, S303, and S304 as in Figure 3, and also includes steps S401 and S402.

[0130] In step S401, a first numerical quantity is generated from the first shared path. In step S402, the first numerical quantity is distributed. As shown in Figure 1c, for example, sharing of user A by a second user results in sharing by subsequent users, and in the reward awarding module 1454 in Figure 1b, a first numerical quantity is generated, for example, as reward points. The reward points can then be distributed between the first user and the second user.

[0131] In this implementation method of publication, one or more sharing parties can benefit by generating a first numerical quantity from a first shared path, distributing the first numerical quantity, generating rewards, and distributing them rationally along the shared path. This promotes the widespread and legal dissemination of copyrighted works.

[0132] In the embodiment disclosed herein, as shown in Figure 1c, a third user can further share the work, similar to the second user's sharing, generating and distributing a third copyright distribution resource and a second sharing path. The reward distribution module 1454 can also generate and distribute a second numerical quantity, for example, as reward points.

[0133] In this implementation method, based on a sharing request from user B, a third copyright distribution resource is generated from a second copyright distribution resource, a second sharing path is generated from the first sharing path and the third copyright distribution resource, and the second copyright distribution resource is distributed. This enables the legal sharing and distribution of copyrighted works, such as video content, on the copyright distribution platform.

[0134] In this implementation method of public access, a second numerical quantity is generated from a second shared path, and by distributing this second numerical quantity, a reward is generated and rationally distributed along the shared path, allowing one or more of the sharing parties to benefit. This promotes the widespread and legal dissemination of copyrighted works.

[0135] In this implementation method, data security and code security can be ensured by storing at least one of the following in a blockchain node: a first copyright distribution resource, a first shared path, a first numerical quantity, a second copyright distribution resource, a second shared path, and a second numerical quantity; and / or generating a first numerical quantity from the first shared path and / or distributing the first numerical quantity in a blockchain smart contract; and / or generating a second numerical quantity from the second shared path and / or distributing the second numerical quantity in a blockchain smart contract.

[0136] Figure 5 is a flowchart of a method for co-owning a copyrighted work based on one embodiment of this disclosure. The method for co-owning a copyrighted work shown in Figure 5 is applicable to co-owners of a copyrighted work. As shown in Figure 5, the copyright sharing method includes steps S501, S502, S503, and S504. In step S501, an input copyright distribution resource is obtained using a third processing unit. In step S502, an input sharing path containing the input copyright distribution resource is obtained. In step S503, an output copyright distribution resource is generated from the input copyright distribution resource. In step S504, an output sharing path is generated from the sharing path and the output copyright distribution resource.

[0137] The third processing unit may be a device such as a computer, laptop, smartphone, tablet, or server, or equipment such as a CPU, GPU, FPGA, TPU, or ASIC capable of information processing, and this publication is not limited to these.

[0138] The first processing unit, the second processing unit, and the third processing unit may be the same processing unit or different processing units, and this publication is not limited to this.

[0139] As shown in Figure 1c, for the second user, the URL of the copyrighted work usage page at the first shared location and the URL of the first user's copyrighted work sharing page constitute the input copyrighted work distribution resource. The input copyrighted work distribution resource is the input sharing path. When the second user shares, the URL of the copyrighted work usage page and the URL of the second user's copyrighted work sharing page constitute the output copyrighted work distribution resource. The output sharing path is formed from the input sharing path and the output copyrighted work distribution resource.

[0140] In this implementation method, the third processing unit is used to acquire input copyright distribution resources, acquire an input sharing path containing the input copyright distribution resources, generate output copyright distribution resources from the input copyright distribution resources, and generate an output sharing path from the input sharing path and the output copyright distribution resources, thereby promoting the legal sharing and distribution of copyrighted works.

[0141] In the embodiment disclosed herein, the method for sharing copyrighted works also includes obtaining a specific numerical quantity generated by the output sharing path and allocating that specific numerical quantity, in addition to steps S501, S502, S503, and S504.

[0142] In this implementation method of public access, one or more parties who share the data can benefit by obtaining specific numerical values ​​generated by the output sharing path, distributing those values, and generating and rationally distributing rewards via the sharing path. This promotes the widespread and legal dissemination of copyrighted works.

[0143] In this implementation method, data and code security can be ensured by storing at least one of the input copyright distribution resource, output copyright distribution resource, input shared path, and output shared path on a blockchain node, and / or by generating a specific numerical quantity via the output shared path in a blockchain smart contract, and / or by distributing the specific numerical quantity in a blockchain smart contract.

[0144] Figure 6 is a structural diagram of a copyright distribution resource generation device based on one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 6, the copyright distribution resource generation device 600 may include a first copyright distribution resource generation module 601, a first copyright distribution resource distribution module 602, and a shared path acquisition module 603.

[0145] The first copyright distribution resource generation module 601 is configured to generate a first copyright distribution resource using a first processing unit based on copyright information, or on copyright information and copyright-related rights holder information. The first copyright distribution resource distribution module 602 is configured to distribute the first copyright distribution resource.
