Genuine Product Certification System for Music Chart Accuracy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The music industry faces challenges in obtaining accurate information about album buyers, leading to unreliable sales data and compromised copyright protection due to illegal copying and separation between record/music video management companies and vending companies, which affects market analysis and chart rankings.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for certifying genuine music albums using unique identification information and personal data, collected through real-time certification, stored in a database, and reflected in music charts to ensure reliability and accuracy, enabling precise sales forecasting and inventory management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separation between record/music video management companies and vending companies is maintained, then operational independence is improved, but ability to obtain accurate customer information and prevent illegal copying deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a genuine product certification system as an intermediary mechanism between the management company and vending company. This certification system, managed by the management company, verifies the authenticity of albums through unique identification information and certification codes. The intermediary certification process enables the management company to obtain accurate customer information and prevent illegal copying without directly interfering with the vending company's sales operations, thus resolving the contradiction between operational independence and copyright protection capability.
2Reliability
If real-time genuine product certification is implemented, then reliability of sales data is improved, but system complexity and certification process time deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-attaching unique identification information and certification codes to genuine albums before they enter the market. The certification system is pre-configured with databases containing authentic product information. When customers present albums for certification, the system only needs to verify pre-existing information rather than performing complex authentication processes in real-time, thus maintaining high data reliability while reducing the complexity of the certification process itself.
3Measurement precision
If unique identification information and personal information are collected through certification, then accuracy of customer data is improved, but information processing complexity and data security requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information collection process into distinct components: unique identification information attached to the album itself and personal information provided by the customer during certification. The system separates the verification of album authenticity (handled by the unique identification system) from the collection of personal data (handled through customer input forms). This segmentation allows accurate customer data collection while simplifying the processing architecture, as each information type is handled through dedicated, well-defined processes rather than a monolithic complex system.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for certifying a genuine product and generating a music chart performed by a server may include: receiving a genuine product certification request from a terminal of a buyer who purchased an album; transmitting genuine product certification content for a genuine product certification procedure to the terminal in response to the genuine product certification request; receiving certification information input to the genuine product certification content; comparing the received certification information with information stored in a database built in advance to perform genuine product certification for the album; matching the certification information with the album when the album is certified as a genuine product, storing the matched certification information in the database, and transmitting a certification completion message to the terminal; and generating the music chart based on the certification information. The certification information may include unique identification information of the album and personal information of the buyer.
