Solution Overview

Problem

Existing chatroom communication technologies lack effective methods to protect content from unauthorized screenshotting and sharing, failing to ensure copyright protection and track content usage within chatrooms.

Innovation Solution

A computer system method that adds a mark including chatroom information to content, allowing users to request and manage screenshotting and sharing, while notifying the original content creator and tracking content usage through a server interaction, using QR codes or watermarks to identify and protect content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If content is shared in chatroom without restrictions, then ease of operation is improved, but copyright protection is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent sharingVSAvoidcopyright protection

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by adding marks to content before sharing occurs, and by notifying content creators in advance of potential sharing. This allows copyright protection measures to be established beforehand, enabling content to be shared while maintaining protection through pre-configured tracking and approval mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If screenshot function is enabled in chatroom, then ease of operation is improved, but content protection is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvescreenshot functionVSAvoidunauthorized content copying

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by notifying content creators when screenshots are taken or content is shared. This feedback loop allows creators to monitor and control the distribution of their content, transforming the harmful screenshot function into a tracked and manageable operation that maintains copyright protection while preserving functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The mark added to content serves as an intermediary element that enables screenshot functionality while simultaneously providing copyright protection. The mark contains identification information that allows the system to track and manage screenshots, acting as a mediator between the screenshot function and copyright protection requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If mark is added to content, then copyright protection is improved, but ease of operation is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecopyright protectionVSAvoidcontent upload

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically adding marks to content without requiring manual user intervention. The mark addition process is performed automatically when content is uploaded to the chatroom, reducing the operational burden on users while maintaining copyright protection through automated marking and tracking.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Disclosed is a method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable record medium for protecting content copyright in a chatroom. A content protection method includes adding, by at least one processor, a mark to content in a chatroom, the mark including chatroom information for identifying the chatroom in response to a user request from a user associated with the content in the chatroom, and executing, by the at least one processor, a function corresponding to the user request using the content to which the mark is added.
