Digital Album Authentication via Intermediary Server Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing digital album authentication systems lack transparency and fairness in content distribution, making it difficult for content producers to control illegal distribution and ensuring legitimate consumption.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that involves acquiring identification information from a digital album, transmitting it to an authentication server, and receiving corresponding content from a content server, ensuring legitimate distribution and consumption through a network-based authentication process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If digital album is distributed through public transmission method or wireless network, then content accessibility is improved, but control over illegal distribution deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an authentication server as an intermediary between the content provider and users. The authentication server verifies digital album authentication information before allowing content access, acting as a mediator that enables public distribution while maintaining control. This resolves the contradiction by allowing widespread accessibility through network transmission while preventing illegal distribution through centralized authentication verification.
2Reliability
If authentication system is centralized in one server, then control capability is improved, but system reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the authentication system into multiple independent authentication servers. Each authentication server can independently verify authentication information, eliminating the single point of failure. This segmentation maintains control capability through distributed verification while improving system reliability by removing dependency on a single centralized server.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to authentication of a digital album. A method of authenticating a digital album performed on a user device may include acquiring identification information related to the digital album, transmitting the acquired identification information to a first server for the authentication of the digital album, and receiving at least one content corresponding to the identification information from a second server different from the first server.
