Description

DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM AND PROCEDURE FOR IDENTIFICATION AND MONITORING OF A VIEWER OF DIGITAL CONTENT, DOWNLOADABLE, ON DEMAND OR LIVE

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention is a system and procedure for interaction with digital content that has technical characteristics aimed at identifying the individual user who views content by means of an embedded and individualized visual or auditory code so that if it is distributed it can be located. and thereby limit the illegal distribution of content.

Field of application of the invention

This invention is applicable in the literary, cinematographic and audiovisual field in general.

State of the art

The illegal distribution of audiovisual material generates multimillion-dollar losses for content creators. The only tool they have today is to penalize whoever distributes that content, remove it from online searches and close the stores that sell that content, which, in some cases, they have bought and sell at a discount.

However, it should be noted that these options always have an insurmountable limitation, since a user who has downloaded, recorded or copied content can distribute it through p2p networks or through intermediate servers. And once a person has made it available to other users, stopping the distribution of that material is practically impossible since they focus on stopping further distribution, when it is already spread and many pages already have that content or direct access at the same available to users.

The best way, therefore, is to go to the root of the problem, identify the person or entity that has purchased this material in order to start its distribution. Most of the content that circulates on the Internet in a way that is not authorized by its creators has been introduced by very few and shared exponentially; therefore, by effectively limiting the people who introduce these contents, their distribution is reduced in the same exponential way.

The applicant is unaware of the existence of any method that allows both content creators and authorities to find and punish the specific person who initiates the distribution.

Description of the invention

The viewer identification system in digital content, object of the invention, has characteristics aimed at solving an important economic and also cultural problem: ensure that all the content that is created is paid to its creator. In this way, by not having to assume that digital content is going to be available cheaply or for free on the Internet and that all the content that end users consume is going to be paid for, they can adjust their prices and make the content more accessible to everyone, as well as improve all the content they make. This encourages the appreciation of the work of all artists, teachers, etc. whose work is undervalued when their works are exposed for free on the internet apart from the losses that all this causes them.

To do this and in accordance with the invention of the viewer identification system, whether it is a movie, video clip, song, audiobook, document, book, online training or other work that has copyright in which it can be embedded an individual visual or auditory code, has the peculiarity of understanding:

a) An individual visual code generated for each copy of each content, visible or not to the viewer, linked to the buyer's username, purchase invoice or the way the official content distributor has to identify the user who obtains the product.

b) An individual auditory code generated for each copy of each content, audible or not to the viewer, linked to the buyer's username, purchase invoice of the latter or the way that the official content distributor has to identify the user who obtains the product (not applicable for documents)

The forms of inclusion can include temporary or permanent codes that change position without affecting the work in question that would be difficult to hide for later distribution.

Therefore, this invention provides technical and legal solutions:

It allows to identify at all times the person or entity that, once the product was purchased, has distributed it without the author's permission.

The invention has a number of advantages, among which it should be noted that:

- Provides a technical solution to the effective identification of the person or entity that distributes a digital product without authorization by its creator and protects content creators from possible distribution.

- Provides an effective solution against piracy, since, if it is limited to the source of illegal content, content pages and social network groups (Telegram, Facebook etc.) do not have this content to distribute, monetize and viralize it.

- Contributes to content income going to the creator instead of intermediaries who only illegally distribute the content.

Claims (6)

1. System of identification of the viewer in a work in digital format, whether it is a film, a video clip, series, document, book, song, audiobook or any other work in which an auditory or visual code can be included, characterized to understand: a. A digital content that includes a code associated with a user so that the traceability of what this user does with the content can be unequivocally traced later. b. A traditional database or through Blockchain technology in which each user is uniquely linked to the product they have consumed. 2. System for identifying the viewer in a work in digital format according to claim 1, characterized by any type of code, whether visually perceptible or not, that uniquely identifies each and every one of the users. 3. Spectator identification system in a work in digital format according to claim 1, characterized by any type of sound, whether perceptible or not to the human ear, that uniquely identifies each and every one of the users. 4. System for identifying the viewer in a work in digital format according to claim 1, characterized by a code that can be displayed, whether visually perceptible or not, punctually or throughout the entire reproduction. 5. Spectator identification system in a work in digital format according to claim 1, characterized by a sound code that can be decoded, whether audible or not, punctually or throughout the entire reproduction. 6. Procedure for identifying the viewer in a work in digital format, which includes the following stages: a. The introduction during the delivery of content, both in real-time broadcasts and in on-demand or downloadable products, of a unique code per user. b. The association in the database, whether traditional or blockchain, of that code with the data of the user who has obtained, purchased or viewed the content.
