Description

Electronic device for processing donation information and method of operation thereof

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a content production technology, and more specifically, to an electronic device for processing donation information in a performance content production service and an operating method thereof.

[0002] With the widespread adoption of the Internet, various media platforms are being built to support personal broadcasting and content sharing. Content creators (or streamers) can then provide their content to viewers through these platforms. Since media platforms do not impose specific restrictions on channel creation, a large volume of content on a wide range of topics can be delivered to viewers. Accordingly, various reward (or compensation) methods are being proposed for content creators to ensure viewers enjoy high-quality content.

[0003] The most commonly used reward payment method is direct financial support (or donation). Currently, these sponsorship methods are operated independently by each media platform. This approach has limitations: rewards cannot be paid to content creators when viewers consume content provided by media platforms that do not support sponsorship models, or even when the platform supports sponsorship models, when viewers are not registered with the platform.

[0004] In this regard, reference may be made to prior literature such as KR10-2220762B1 and KR10-2020-0013887A.

[0005] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an electronic device and an operating method thereof for processing donation information in a performance content production service.

[0006] The present disclosure aims to provide an electronic device and an operating method thereof for providing a donation model independent of a media platform.
