FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an overview of an information processing method according to an embodiment. Note that FIG. 1 describes an example of information processing when bonus information is issued in association with a content NFT in response to a transaction user's purchase of a content NFT with a bonus.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the information processing device 10 is an information processing device that cooperates with a transaction user terminal, a server owned by an operator of an EC (Electronic Commerce) site, etc., and issues content NFTs to transaction users. , realized by computers, cloud systems, etc.

When purchasing a content NFT, the information processing device 10 acquires information regarding the content and bonus information provided in response to the purchase of the content, and issues an NFT in which the content information and bonus information are linked.

Specifically, when a trading user purchases a content NFT, the information processing device 10 acquires content information and bonus information from the respective metadata of the content and bonus. For example, the information processing device 10 stores information about the content, such as a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) indicating the location of metadata of the content, the author and owner of the content, a URI indicating the location of bonus metadata, the author and owner of the bonus Get information about bonuses such as people.

In addition, the content data, bonus data, and respective metadata are stored in distributed storage such as IPFS (Interplanetary File System) that exists outside the blockchain (off-chain) or in the operation of the EC site. This applies to servers, etc. owned by individuals.

Subsequently, the information processing device 10 issues an NFT in which the acquired content information and bonus information are linked to the transaction user. Note that the information processing device 10 may separately issue the NFT linked with the acquired content information and the NFT linked with the bonus information to the transaction user.

In this way, the information processing device 10 issues NFTs that link content information and bonus information to trading users, so that trading users can check the issued NFTs using their own wallets. Additionally, content data and bonus data can be viewed based on the NFT information.

[2. Configuration of information processing device 10]
Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing device 10 according to the embodiment includes a communication section 11, a control section 12, and a storage section 13.

The communication unit 11 is realized by, for example, a NIC (Network Interface Card). The communication unit 11 is connected to the network by wire or wirelessly, and transmits and receives information between the transaction user terminal, the IPFS, and the server via the network.

The storage unit 13 is realized, for example, by a storage device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a hard disk. The storage unit 13 stores data and programs necessary for various processing by the control unit 12, and has a content information storage unit 13a and a bonus information storage unit 13b, which are particularly closely related to the present invention.

The content information storage unit 13a stores information regarding content. For example, the content information storage unit 13a stores information related to the content, such as a URI indicating the location of metadata of the content, and the author and owner of the content, as the content information.

The bonus information storage section 13b stores bonus information. For example, the bonus information storage unit 13b stores information related to the bonus, such as a URI indicating the location of the metadata of the bonus, and the author and owner of the bonus, as the bonus information.

The control unit 12 is realized by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), etc., executing various programs stored in a storage device inside the information processing device 10 using a RAM as a work area. . Further, the control unit 12 is realized by, for example, an integrated circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The control unit 12 includes an acquisition unit 12a and an issuing unit 12b. Furthermore, it may include a display section 12c and a determination section 12d, if necessary.

The acquisition unit 12a acquires content information and bonus information provided in response to content purchase. Then, the acquisition unit 12a stores the acquired content information in the content information storage unit 13a, and stores the acquired bonus information in the bonus information storage unit 13b.

Here, the acquisition unit 12a acquires the content information and bonus information via the communication unit 11. Furthermore, when receiving a content purchase request from a transaction user terminal, the acquisition unit 12a acquires transaction target content information and bonus information. Furthermore, the acquisition unit 12a acquires content information and bonus information from respective metadata stored in IPFS, a server, or the like.

For example, the acquisition unit 12a acquires, as the content information, a URI indicating the location of the content metadata, information on the creator and owner of the content, etc. from the content metadata. Further, for example, the acquisition unit 12a acquires, as bonus information, a URI indicating the location of the bonus metadata, information such as the creator and owner of the bonus, etc. from the bonus metadata.

Further, the acquisition unit 12a may acquire bonus information when the determination unit 12d, which will be described later, determines that the user owns an NFT related to the right to provide a bonus. For example, when the determination unit 12d determines that the content author owns an NFT related to the right to provide a bonus, the acquisition unit 12a acquires content information and bonus information from the respective metadata.

Note that "ownership" refers not only to the case where the NFT itself is held by the user terminal, but also to the case where the information processing device 10 or an external device manages the NFT by linking the content owner with the content. The meaning also includes cases.

The issuing unit 12b issues an NFT that links the content information and bonus information acquired by the acquiring unit 12a. For example, the publishing unit 12b stores the URI indicating the location of the content metadata stored in the content information storage unit 13a, information such as the content author and owner, and the bonus metadata stored in the bonus information storage unit 13b. Information such as the URI indicating the location of the bonus, the author and owner of the bonus, etc. is linked to the NFT and issued to the transaction user.

Further, the issuing unit 12b may issue preset key data in association with the NFT. For example, the issuing unit 12b issues data obtained by hashing the key data obtained by the obtaining unit 12a in association with the NFT as bonus information.

The display unit 12c displays bonus information when the preset key data matches the input data. Here, the acquisition unit 12a acquires key data used for displaying the bonus as bonus information. Further, the issuing unit 12b issues the hashed data described above in association with the NFT as bonus information. Note that the bonus data may be, for example, data on a coupon that can be exchanged for an actual bonus at a store, or data on tickets for a secret event.

For example, the display unit 12c displays bonus data when data obtained by hashing the key data input by the transaction user terminal matches data obtained by hashing the key data registered in the NFT.

The determining unit 12d determines whether or not the user owns an NFT related to the right to provide the bonus. Note that an NFT related to the right to provide a bonus may be, for example, an NFT for participating in a project sold by a major company for a promotional project.

For example, when content with a bonus is purchased, the determining unit 12d determines whether the content author owns a participation ticket NFT based on the content author's past transaction history. Then, the determination unit 12d notifies the acquisition unit 12a of the determination result.

[3. Specific example of information processing]
Next, a specific example of information processing according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a specific example of information processing according to the embodiment. In the following, the information acquisition process and the NFT issuance process of the information processing device 10 will be explained, and then a specific example of the NFT issued to the transaction user will be explained.

First, the content author purchases an NFT participation ticket sold by a major company that guarantees that he/she will receive ○○ work. Then, the content creator puts the created content NFT on an EC site, for example, with a description indicating that it comes with a bonus (○○ work). Thereafter, when the trading user purchases the above-mentioned exhibited content NFT with bonus (XX work), the determination unit 12d determines that the content author owns the participation ticket NFT based on the content author's transaction history.

When it is determined that the content author owns the participation ticket NFT, the acquisition unit 12a acquires the content information and bonus (○○ work) information from the respective metadata. Finally, the issuing unit 12b issues an NFT in which the acquired content information and bonus (○○ work) information are linked to the transaction user. Through the above-mentioned series of processes, the trading user can view the data of purchased works and company bonuses (○○ works) from his/her own wallet.

[4. Processing procedure]
Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the processing of the information processing device 10 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure according to the embodiment. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the determination unit 12d determines whether a content purchase has been accepted (step S101). If the determination unit 12d does not accept the content purchase (step S101; No), it waits until the content purchase is accepted.

On the other hand, when the determination unit 12d accepts the content purchase (step S101; Yes), the determination unit 12d determines whether the content author owns the participation ticket NFT (step S102). When the content author owns the participation ticket NFT (step S102; Yes), the acquisition unit 12a acquires the content information and bonus information (step S103). After that, the issuing unit 12b issues an NFT in which content information and bonus information are linked (step S104).

On the other hand, if the content author does not own the participation ticket NFT (step S102; No), the acquisition unit 12a acquires the content information (step S105). After that, the issuing unit 12b issues the content information in association with the NFT (step S106).

[5. effect〕
As described above, the information processing device 10 according to the present embodiment includes an acquisition unit 12a that acquires content information and bonus information, and an issuing unit 12b that issues an NFT that links the acquired content information and bonus information. Equipped with. The acquisition unit 12a acquires content information and bonus information from their respective metadata. The issuing unit 12b issues an NFT in which the content information and bonus information acquired by the acquiring unit 12a are linked to the transaction user.

In this way, the information processing device 10 issues an NFT linking content information and bonus information to the transaction user when the transaction user purchases content with a bonus, so that the transaction user can purchase content with bonus information. You can also view bonus data. Therefore, according to the information processing device 10, even in transactions using NFT, the content to be traded can be sold with a bonus attached.

Further, the acquisition unit 12a of the information processing device 10 acquires key data used for displaying the bonus as bonus information. Furthermore, the issuing unit 12b issues data obtained by hashing the above-mentioned key data obtained by the obtaining unit 12a, in association with the NFT as bonus information. Further, the display unit 12c displays additional data when the data obtained by hashing the input key data matches the data obtained by hashing the key data registered in the NFT.

In this way, by the information processing device 10 performing the above series of processes, a transaction user who knows the key data can view bonus data from the issued NFT. On the other hand, a third party who has illegally copied the issued NFT does not know the key data and cannot view the bonus data. Therefore, according to the information processing device 10, the advantageous effect is that the bonus data can be displayed only to transaction users who have purchased the bonus content NFT.

Further, the determination unit 12d of the information processing device 10 determines whether the content author owns the participation ticket NFT. When the determination unit 12d determines that the content author owns the participation ticket NFT, the acquisition unit 12a acquires the content information and bonus information from the respective metadata. Then, the issuing unit 12b issues an NFT in which the content information acquired by the acquiring unit 12a and the bonus information are linked.

On the other hand, when the determination unit 12d determines that the content author does not own the participation ticket NFT, the acquisition unit 12a acquires content information from the metadata of the content. The issuing unit 12b then issues the content information acquired by the acquiring unit 12a in association with the NFT.

In this way, by performing the above series of processes, the information processing device 10 can issue bonus information to a trading user in association with the NFT when the content author owns the participation ticket NFT. Therefore, according to the information processing device 10, only when the transaction user purchases a content NFT of a content author who owns the participation ticket NFT, it is possible to issue the transaction user an NFT in which content information and bonus information are linked. It has the effect of being able to do it.
