Licensing Server Content Verification Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for systems and methods to effectively manage content licenses electronically, particularly in scenarios where publishers incorporate third-party content and need to determine licensing status and payment methods, as well as associate advertisements with licensed content on webpages.
Innovation Solution
A computer system and method that involves a licensing server connected to client systems and advertiser servers, which receives client and content identification information, searches a license database to determine licensing status and payment methods, and selects advertisements to associate with licensed content, sending this data to the client system for display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual license management is used, then flexibility in negotiation is maintained, but time consumption and operational complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-verification of license status by querying the license database without human intervention. The publishing system automatically checks whether content is licensed and determines payment methods, eliminating manual verification steps and significantly improving processing speed.
Solution Approach 2:
Manual mechanical processes of license verification and payment determination are replaced by an automated electronic system. The publishing system electronically queries the license database and automatically retrieves licensing status and payment method information, substituting human-operated mechanical verification with automated digital processes.
2Speed
If automated license checking is implemented, then processing speed increases, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The license database serves as an intermediary component between the publishing system and content licensing information. This centralized database receives license information from content management systems and provides automated verification services, simplifying the overall system architecture by consolidating verification logic in a dedicated intermediate layer.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is segmented into distinct functional modules: the publishing system that initiates verification, the license database that stores and processes licensing information, and the content management system that provides content data. This modular segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, reducing overall system complexity while enabling automated high-speed verification.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive license tracking is performed, then licensing accuracy improves, but data processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
License information is pre-stored in the license database before verification is needed. The database maintains ready-access records of licensing status and payment methods, eliminating the need for real-time computation during verification. This preliminary preparation of data ensures accurate license tracking while minimizing computational resources required at verification time.
