Server-Based Data Transmission Control for IP Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network systems face challenges in protecting intellectual property rights during data transmission, particularly with personalized content like images, ringtones, and music, as they lack effective mechanisms to determine and manage the propagation path of such data, leading to potential infringement.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a server manages data transmission by requesting clients to update data based on a predetermined control policy, determining whether the data meets this policy, and controlling the propagation path through centralized notifications, including prompting users to pay fees for protected content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users can freely select and transmit personalized images between clients in P2P manner, then user experience and customization are improved, but intellectual property rights protection deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between clients to manage image transmission. The server receives images from clients, verifies their legitimacy against stored control policies, and only allows transmission if the image passes verification. This intermediary role enables personalized image selection while preventing IP infringement through centralized control and verification.
2Reliability
If the server provides a series of fixed images for users to choose, then image management and IP protection are improved, but user experience and customization are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic image selection system where users can choose from fixed images initially, but the system evolves to allow personalized image transmission. The server maintains control policies that can be updated dynamically, and the system adapts between providing fixed images and enabling user-selected images based on verification results. This dynamic approach balances IP protection with user customization needs.
3Reliability
If the server manages and verifies all image transmission centrally, then intellectual property rights protection is improved, but system complexity and transmission overhead are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary verification where the server checks image legitimacy against control policies before allowing transmission. The server pre-verify images and stores verification results, so that when transmission is needed, the server can quickly determine whether to allow it based on pre-established policies. This preliminary action reduces the complexity of real-time verification and maintains efficient system operation while ensuring IP protection.

AI summary
Method, system and server for managing data transmission. The method comprises the following steps: the first client requests the server for data update; the server analyzes the request of the first client and takes the control measurement to the data that the client requests to update according to the predetermined control policy, and performs the subsequent process after the data requested by the client meet the control policy; the server informs the first client to update the data; the first client updates the data; the server informs the second client that the data of the first client has been updated; the second client acquires the updated data. The present invention discloses also a control system and a control equipment achieving the above method. The server takes the unified central control notification mode according to the present invention to effectively control the propagation approach of the personalized data.
