Description

  The present invention relates to an image auction apparatus, an image auction method, and a program thereof, and more particularly, to an image auction apparatus, an image auction method, and a program thereof that automatically prevent unethical images from being disclosed.

  In recent years, there are many transaction forms called image auctions in which image data is bought and sold on a network such as the Internet.

  An auction is a trading form in which a participant presents the price of a product, competes for the price, and finally the person who presents the highest price makes a successful bid.

  In recent years, a trading form in which this transaction is performed on the Internet is often seen, and an image auction refers to buying and selling image data in this trading form.

  As a conventional technique related to this image auction, the following patent documents can be cited as typical ones.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a solid-state imaging device that converts an optical signal into an electrical signal, an A / D converter that converts an analog signal into a digital signal, and a digital signal processing unit that generates a required digital video signal from the digital signal. A template video region extraction unit that searches for a digital video signal based on template video data and extracts a template video region to which mosaic processing should be applied, a mosaic processing unit that applies mosaic processing to the digital video signal, and the digital When a region corresponding to the extracted template video region exists in the video signal, a digital video signal to which mosaic processing from the mosaic processing unit is applied is selected, and when there is no region, from the digital signal processing unit A signal switching unit for selecting a normal digital video signal and the selected digital Imaging device with a mosaic function is disclosed which comprises a D / A converter for converting the video signal into an analog signal.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-133867 discloses a calculation unit that calculates a ratio of a skin color included in an image of a frame, and a first determination unit that determines whether the ratio of the skin color calculated by the calculation unit is a predetermined threshold value or less. In addition, image data representing an image for which the skin color ratio is determined to be equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value by the first determination means is stored in the image database as releasable image data, and the skin color ratio is predetermined. There is disclosed an image censoring system comprising first image database control means for storing image data representing an image determined to be larger than a threshold value as censored image data in the image database.

Patent Document 3 discloses a screening support system on a communication network characterized by a screening support system, which has the following requirements (1) to (8).

  As described above, in the prior art, whether or not the image data to be subjected to the image auction is suitable for disclosure is left to the judgment made on the media side that provides the image data, and thus immoral image data flows out. There was a thing.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an image auction method in which immoral image data does not flow out.

  The present invention provides an image auction apparatus for performing an image auction as means for solving the above-described problems, and manages an image auction data registration site for managing a site for registering data traded in the image auction. And the image data provider when the image data has been sold to the image data purchasing device when the image data is sold to the image data purchasing device. An image auction data result notification processing unit for notifying the provider that the bid has been made, and transmitting the image data to the image data purchasing device, encrypting the image data, and issuing a key for the encryption An image auction data processing unit that sends the key to the image data purchasing device, and a provided image The auction data discrimination processing unit having an image database used for determining whether or not the data is suitable for publishing and the image data after it is determined whether or not the data is suitable for publishing are stored. And an auction data storage unit.

  Further, the present invention is an image auction method performed by an image auction apparatus for performing an image auction and an image purchase apparatus for purchasing an image traded in the image auction, wherein the image auction apparatus is traded The title of the acquired image is determined, whether the title of the acquired image has an unethical item, and if there is no unethical item in the title of the acquired image, whether the item is related to an accident If the title of the acquired image is not an item related to an accident, it is determined whether it is an item related to an incident. If the title of the acquired image is not an item related to an incident, it is an item related to gender. Image auction data storage provided in the image auction apparatus if the title of the acquired image is not an item relating to sex Wherein the registering the acquired image.

  Further, the present invention searches for an unethical image stored in the unethical image database of the image auction apparatus when there is an unethical item in the title of the acquired image, and the image to be traded in the image auction. Is determined to correspond to the searched unethical image, and if it does not correspond to the unethical image, the image is registered in the image auction data storage unit.

  Further, when the present invention falls under the unethical image, the unethical portion of the image traded at the image auction is extracted and processed, and the processed unethical image is visually observed to determine whether it is suitable for publication. If the image is suitable for disclosure, the image is registered in the image auction data storage unit.

  Further, the present invention is characterized in that if the processed unethical image is not suitable for publication as a result of visual inspection, the image is deleted and the provider of the image is notified that it is not adopted. To do.

  In addition, the present invention is a program for conducting an image auction performed in an image auction apparatus, which causes the image auction apparatus to acquire a title of an image to be traded, and an unethical item is included in the acquired image title. If there is no unethical item in the title of the acquired image, it is determined whether there is an item related to the accident, and if the title of the acquired image is not an item related to the accident, If the title of the acquired image is not an item related to the case, if the title of the acquired image is not an item related to sex, and whether the title of the acquired image is not an item related to sex, The image auction data storage unit provided in the image auction apparatus is made to register the image.

  In addition, the present invention, when there is an unethical item in the title of the acquired image, to search for unethical images stored in the unethical image database of the image auction apparatus, the image that is the subject of the image auction Is determined to correspond to the searched unethical image, and if it does not correspond to the unethical image, the image auction data storage unit registers the image.

  Further, the present invention, when corresponding to the unethical image, extracts and processes the unethical part of the image traded in the image auction, visually checks the processed unethical image, and whether it is suitable for publication If it is suitable for disclosure, the image auction data storage unit registers the image.

  Further, the present invention is characterized in that if the processed unethical image is not suitable for publication as a result of visual inspection, the image is deleted and the provider of the image is notified that it is not adopted. To do.

  According to the present invention, since the image database that can refer to whether or not the image data to be subjected to the image auction is immoral can be referred to, it is possible to prevent the immoral image data from being leaked.
