Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current blockchain-based copyright allocation methods lack efficient mechanisms for distributing copyright shares and income to co-creation participating users based on their behavior, leading to potential inaccuracies and lack of transparency in the allocation process.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a smart contract on a blockchain network to allocate copyright shares and income to co-creation participating users by obtaining and processing co-creation behavior data, ensuring transparent and secure distribution through consensus mechanisms, with the shares represented as digital asset tokens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional centralized copyright allocation methods are used, then the allocation process can be simplified, but transparency and trustworthiness of the allocation process deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a blockchain-based intermediary system that acts as a neutral mediator between copyright holders and users. The blockchain ledger transparently records all copyright allocation transactions, while smart contracts automatically execute allocation rules, eliminating the need for complex manual verification processes and building trust through cryptographic verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical verification processes (manual auditing, centralized authority verification) with cryptographic verification mechanisms inherent in blockchain technology. The system uses digital signatures, hash functions, and consensus algorithms to automatically verify and record copyright allocations, achieving both simplicity and transparency simultaneously.
2Device complexity
If manual copyright allocation processes are used, then system complexity is reduced, but measurement precision of co-creation behavior data deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service system where co-creation participants automatically submit their behavior data (contributions, interactions, creations) to the blockchain network. The data is automatically verified, recorded, and used for copyright allocation without requiring manual intervention, achieving high measurement precision through automated tracking while keeping the system architecture relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where co-creation behavior data is continuously collected, analyzed, and fed back into the copyright allocation process. The blockchain ledger provides real-time feedback on allocation results, allowing participants to verify their contributions and understand the allocation criteria, thereby improving measurement precision through iterative verification.
3Device complexity
If centralized copyright management is used, then device complexity is reduced, but security and tamper-resistance of copyright data deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the centralized copyright management system into distributed nodes across the blockchain network. Each node maintains a copy of the copyright ledger and independently verifies transactions, eliminating the single point of failure and vulnerability to tampering inherent in centralized systems. The segmentation achieves security through distribution while keeping individual node complexity manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple security mechanisms (cryptographic hashing, digital signatures, consensus algorithms, distributed storage) into a composite security architecture. This composite approach leverages the strengths of each individual mechanism to create a robust, tamper-resistant system that is more secure than any single mechanism alone, while maintaining operational simplicity through automated processes.

AI summary
One or more embodiments of the present specification provide methods and apparatuses for copyright allocation for a blockchain-based work, which are applied to a blockchain network that includes an original author client device, a co-creation participating user client device, and a first node device. The method includes the following: obtaining, by the first node device, a first target transaction from a distributed database of the blockchain, where the first target transaction includes co-creation participating behavior data of the co-creation participating user for a target work, and the target work is originally created by the original author; and invoking a smart contract corresponding to copyright allocation for the target work, executing logic declared in the smart contract for allocating a copyright share to the co-creation participating user based on the co-creation participating behavior data, and allocating a copyright share of the target work to the co-creation participating user.
