Music Platform Server Using Blockchain NFT for Copyright Ownership
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The music industry lacks platforms that effectively utilize blockchain-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to ensure ownership and equitable distribution of copyright revenues for sound sources, leading to unequal distribution of copyright fees mainly controlled by large entertainment or distribution companies.
Innovation Solution
A service providing method that issues blockchain-based NFTs for sound sources on a music platform, enabling the registration of sound source information, generating smart contracts with service codes for authorization, identity verification, rewards, and service stability, and using blockchain-based cryptocurrency for transactions, while detecting and preventing illegal downloads.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If blockchain-based NFT is introduced to guarantee ownership and enable direct transactions, then copyright fee distribution becomes equitable and ownership is clearly guaranteed, but system complexity increases due to integration of blockchain technology, smart contracts, and NFT issuance mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a music platform server as an intermediary that manages the integration between traditional music distribution systems and blockchain technology. The server handles NFT issuance, smart contract execution, and transaction coordination, shielding users from direct blockchain complexity while ensuring reliable ownership guarantees through blockchain's immutable ledger
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments functionality into distinct modules: traditional music platform operations, NFT issuance module, smart contract execution module, and blockchain transaction handling. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system reliability for ownership guarantee
2Ease of operation
If blockchain-based NFT and smart contracts are implemented for service authorization and revenue distribution, then revenue distribution becomes equitable and transparent, but service complexity increases due to multiple service codes and blockchain integration
Solution Approach 1:
The smart contract implements multiple service codes within a single unified framework, allowing the same contract structure to handle diverse services including music streaming, downloads, licensing, and revenue distribution. This universal approach simplifies operations by providing consistent equitable distribution across all service types while avoiding the need for separate complex systems for each service
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements automated feedback mechanisms where smart contracts continuously monitor service usage, track revenue generation, and automatically distribute earnings to rights holders based on predefined equitable distribution rules. This automated feedback loop ensures transparency and fairness in revenue distribution while reducing manual intervention complexity

AI summary
A service providing method of the present invention includes receiving sound source information on a sound source to be registered to the music platform and issuing a blockchain-based NFT that represents an ownership for the sound source; receiving a request for using a service related to the sound source registered to the music platform from at least one at least one service use terminal connected to the blockchain-based network; and in response to the received request, providing a service related to the sound source based on the blockchain-based NFT issued in advance for the sound source to the at least one service use terminal.
