Blockchain Music Originality Analysis via Feature Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for protecting musical works' copyrights fail to effectively identify plagiarized or imitated works, as they rely on digital hash coding that cannot verify originality in musical works with similar tunes but different forms, such as pure music versus music with vocal accompaniment.
Innovation Solution
A blockchain-based music originality analysis method that involves music library nodes performing originality analyses on music files, generating digests that indicate originality and analysis results, and publishing these on a blockchain network for authentication, with music analyzer nodes summarizing these digests to provide a comprehensive evaluation of musical works' originality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If hash coding is performed on music files for copyright recording, then copyright authentication is simplified, but the ability to verify originality of musical works with similar tunes but different forms is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the music file into multiple feature dimensions including melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre. Each dimension is analyzed separately to extract characteristic parameters, allowing comprehensive originality verification that goes beyond simple hash coding while maintaining systematic processing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the music file from raw audio data into multiple parameter representations (melody contours, harmonic structures, rhythmic patterns, timbre characteristics). These parameter changes enable precise comparison and originality verification by capturing the essential musical elements that define a work's uniqueness.
2Measurement precision
If multiple music libraries perform originality analysis, then evaluation comprehensiveness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the originality analysis system into independent music library nodes, each performing analysis on specific music files. Each node operates autonomously to generate analysis digests, which are then collected and summarized. This segmentation allows comprehensive multi-library evaluation while maintaining manageable individual node complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a blockchain network as an intermediary layer that collects, verifies, and summarizes analysis digests from multiple music library nodes. This intermediary structure coordinates the distributed analysis system, enabling comprehensive evaluation across multiple libraries while managing system complexity through standardized communication protocols and automated consensus mechanisms.
3Reliability
If blockchain network is used for recording and authenticating originality analysis results, then data tamper-resistance is improved, but processing time and computational overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential analysis results (originality digests and key feature parameters) from the complete music analysis and stores them on the blockchain, rather than storing entire music files or all analysis details. This extraction approach maintains blockchain's tamper-resistant properties while significantly reducing processing time and computational overhead by minimizing the data that requires blockchain operations.

AI summary
This specification describes techniques for blockchain-based music originality analysis. One example method includes retrieving a music file published on a blockchain network comprising the music library node and a music analyzer node, performing an originality analysis on the music file based on a local music library to generate a first originality and analysis digest that indicates an originality and analysis result, publishing the first originality and analysis digest to the blockchain network to record and authenticate the originality and analysis result in the blockchain network, retrieving the first originality and analysis digest published to the blockchain network by the music library nodes, summarizing the first originality and analysis digest to generate a second originality and analysis digest, and processing a service related to originality of the music file based on the second originality and analysis digest.
