Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems fail to effectively manage copyrights for content created by multiple users, leading to unclear ownership and exploitation of artists, with existing technologies not addressing the need for automatic copyright management and revenue distribution.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that combines content from multiple users, generates unique identification information for the combined content, and stores use history information in a blockchain, enabling automatic copyright management and revenue distribution based on share ratios.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If content is created by combining works from multiple users, then creativity and versatility are improved, but copyright management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent creation versatilityVSAvoidcopyright management complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments copyright management into individual user accounts and tracks each user's contribution separately. The system maintains distinct records for each user's work and their corresponding share ratios, allowing complex multi-user content to be managed through standardized individual units rather than treating each combination as a unique complex entity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a copyright management server as an intermediary between content creators and usage tracking systems. This server automatically manages copyright registration, tracks usage across multiple platforms, and handles revenue distribution calculations, thereby reducing the operational complexity for individual users while enabling versatile content creation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Extent of automation

If automatic copyright management is implemented, then efficiency and automation are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecopyright management automationVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service mechanisms where users automatically register their works with the copyright management server, and the system automatically tracks usage and calculates revenues. Users simply upload their content and set share ratios, while the system handles all subsequent management tasks autonomously, reducing the need for complex manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where usage data from various platforms is automatically fed back to the copyright management server, which then updates revenue calculations and distributes payments accordingly. This automated feedback loop eliminates manual monitoring and simplifies the overall system operation while maintaining high automation levels.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If blockchain technology is used for copyright registration, then reliability and immutability are improved, but system complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveownership record reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses blockchain technology to create an immutable copy of copyright registration records. Rather than requiring complex verification systems, the system leverages blockchain's inherent copy-protection features to ensure that ownership records cannot be altered or falsified, thereby improving reliability through a well-established technological copy mechanism.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent positions the blockchain-based copyright management system as a universal platform that can handle multiple functions: copyright registration, usage tracking, revenue calculation, and payment distribution. By consolidating these functions into a single multi-functional system rather than separate specialized systems, the patent reduces overall system complexity while maintaining high reliability through blockchain.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

An information processing device generates a third content by combining a first content and a second content, and generates third identification information indicating identification information of the third content on the basis of first identification information indicating identification information of the first content and second identification information indicating identification information of the second content. The information processing device stores use history information indicating a use history of the third content and the third identification information in a storage unit in association with each other, and updates the use history information depending on the use history of the third content.
