Blockchain Copyright Authorization Management System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing copyright authorization methods are inefficient and labor-intensive, often leading to illegal use or alteration of copyrighted works due to high operational costs and time-consuming processes, especially for derivative works.
Innovation Solution
A copyright authorization management method and system that utilizes blockchain technology for online contract signing and persistence, ensuring contracts are unique, trustworthy, and unalterable by obtaining owner-of-copyright information, sending contract notifications, receiving transaction information, and implementing persistence of valid contract transactions on a blockchain.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If direct authorization negotiation is used between copyright owner and requester, then authorization accuracy is improved, but authorization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a blockchain-based smart contract system as an intermediary between copyright owners and requesters. The smart contract automatically executes authorization terms once conditions are met, eliminating the need for continuous human negotiation while ensuring accurate implementation of authorization agreements. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining authorization accuracy through automated enforcement while dramatically improving efficiency.
2Productivity
If copyright authorization agency is used, then authorization efficiency is improved, but operational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables copyright owners and requesters to directly interact through a standardized smart contract platform without requiring traditional authorization agencies. The system provides self-service capabilities including automatic contract generation, execution, and monitoring. This eliminates agency fees and intermediary costs while maintaining high authorization efficiency through automated processes.
3Reliability
If traditional contract signing process is used, then legal validity is ensured, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-defines standardized authorization contract templates with all necessary legal terms and conditions before actual authorization occurs. When authorization is needed, parties simply need to select and configure the pre-prepared template rather than negotiating and drafting from scratch. This preliminary preparation of contract frameworks significantly reduces signing time while maintaining legal validity through standardized, legally-reviewed templates.
4Adaptability or versatility
If manual contract management is used, then flexibility is maintained, but error rate increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal smart contract platform that handles multiple authorization scenarios through a single standardized system. The same blockchain infrastructure and smart contract mechanism serve diverse copyright authorization needs, from simple licensing to complex multi-party collaborations. This universal approach reduces errors by eliminating manual handling while maintaining flexibility through configurable contract parameters and terms.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a copyright authorization management method and system. The method includes: obtaining owner-of-copyright information; sending a contract determining notification to a corresponding owner-of-copyright client based on the owner-of-copyright information, where the contract determining notification carries copyright-related information of a to-be-authorized work; receiving transaction information returned by the owner-of-copyright client, where the transaction information includes contract information determined by an owner of copyright based on the copyright-related information; obtaining a valid contract transaction based on the transaction information, where the valid contract transaction includes signatures satisfying a preset-quantity rule; and implementing persistence of the valid contract transaction in a block chain. In technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, online contract signing and persistence of a signed contract are implemented based on the block chain. This improves copyright authorization efficiency, and ensures that the contract is unique, trustworthy, and unalterable.
