Digital Artwork Authorship Certification via Device Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods of certifying authorship of digitally created artworks are inadequate, as these artworks can be easily copied, making it difficult to verify authorship.
Innovation Solution
A determination method using a computer to specify the hardware or software used by an artist and generate a certificate with identification information and a decentralized identifier (DID) related to the artwork, thereby certifying authorship.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional certificate of authenticity is used to certify authorship, then the certification process is simple, but the authorship cannot be sufficiently certified for digitally created artworks that can be copied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a computer as an intermediary that automatically generates certificates containing device information and digital signatures. This intermediary system bridges the gap between simple certification needs and the requirement for reliable authorship verification of digital artworks, resolving the contradiction by automating the certification process while maintaining simplicity for users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital copy of the device information and certification data in the form of a certificate. This digital certificate can be replicated and distributed without loss of information, enabling reliable authorship verification while keeping the certification process simple and accessible.
2Measurement precision
If hardware or software identification information is included in the certificate, then authorship verification is enhanced, but the certificate size and information processing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential device identification information and digital signature needed for authorship verification, excluding unnecessary data. This extraction principle maintains high verification precision while minimizing information processing complexity and certificate size.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms device information into standardized parameters including device type, model, serial number, and digital signature. This parameterization enables precise authorship verification while maintaining efficient information processing and compact certificate structure.
