Blockchain Copyright ID Embedding in Tables
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in identifying and protecting copyrighted content, especially when only a portion of the content is used by unauthorized users, as it becomes difficult to determine if the used portion is part of a copyrighted work.
Innovation Solution
Generating a unique identifier based on copyright information associated with digital content, embedding it in a way that is not visually apparent, and distributing it to a blockchain network, allowing for secure and immutable tracking of ownership and potential infringement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If copyright information is embedded in digital content, then identification of copyrighted material is improved, but visual appearance of the content is altered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by embedding copyright information in specific localized areas such as metadata, EXIF data, or discrete code elements within the digital content rather than altering the entire content. This allows copyright identification while preserving the overall visual appearance and quality of the main content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses intermediary elements such as metadata fields, hidden code segments, or separate data structures that carry copyright information without being part of the visible content. These intermediaries enable copyright identification while remaining invisible to users, thus not altering the visual appearance of the digital content.
2Measurement precision
If copyright information is embedded in the content, then identification of copyrighted material is improved, but the content is modified
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments copyright information from the main content by placing it in separate metadata fields, EXIF data structures, or independent code elements. This segmentation allows the copyright information to be embedded without modifying the core content structure, thus maintaining content integrity while enabling identification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates separate copies of copyright information in metadata or auxiliary data structures rather than embedding it directly into the content itself. This copying approach preserves the original content integrity while providing a parallel structure for copyright identification and tracking.
3Loss of information
If traditional copyright protection methods are used, then copyright ownership can be tracked, but identification of copyrighted material is difficult when only a portion is used
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by embedding copyright information and unique identifiers into digital content before distribution. This pre-embedding ensures that even when only portions of the content are used or shared, the copyright identification data remains intact and can be detected, solving the problem of tracking partial content usage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where embedded copyright information provides continuous identification capability across different uses and distributions of the content. The embedded identifiers enable automated detection and tracking systems to receive feedback about content usage, making it easy to detect and measure both complete and partial copyright infringements.
Data Source
AI summary
A method includes generating, by a computing device, a unique identifier (ID) based on copyright information associated with the digital content, wherein the copyright information and the digital content are recorded on a blockchain of a blockchain network; identifying, by the computing device, one or more attributes associated with a table; embedding, by the computing device, the unique ID in the table by changing one or more attributes associated with the table to be representative of the unique ID, wherein the embedding produces an information-embedded table that enables retrieval of the copyright information from the blockchain based on the unique ID, and wherein a visual difference between the table and the information-embedded table is not apparent to an unaided human eye; allocating, by the computer device, the digital content to the information-embedded table; and distributing the information-embedded table allocated with the digital content to the blockchain network.
