Apparatus and method for blocking detoured upload in intermediate server}

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for blocking bypass upload in a relay server, and more specifically, to detect and block digital contents uploaded by mass bypass using a verification key added to digital content uploaded through a normal upload module. The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for blocking detour uploading in a relay server.

Web Hard is an Internet file management system that can secure, store a certain amount of storage space, store, edit, and download documents and files that have been worked on the Internet, and share files with multiple people. Web hard, which is provided by portal sites such as Naver, is a personal type that can create an account (creation of ID) and store its data and download it when needed, so I can't download files other than myself. On the other hand, the shared web hard site is an open shared type where others can download the files I uploaded, and I can download the files uploaded by others, so anyone can download the uploaded files. This shared web hard has evolved into a profitable shared web hard site where members can upload data from registered members, and other uploaded materials can be downloaded for a fee.

However, in a shared web hard, uploading or using an uploaded work such as a movie or music without the permission of the copyright holder while knowing that the uploaded work is illegal is a violation of copyright. Therefore, downloading illegal videos through online service providers was only possible at the risk of future criminal evaluation.

In order to solve this problem, a series of activities are protected by copyright law by sharing web hard service providers with online copyright contractors and providing “partnership contents”. Such 'partnered contents service' is a service that converts illegal contents into copyrighted works protected by copyright law by contract of web hard service provider and copyright holder (manufacturer), and sells them through web hard site. When the content is downloaded for a certain amount, the revenue is distributed to the copyright holder. In other words, when a user uploads illegal content that is illegally distributed, the webhard service user checks the content on the webhard site and displays it as allied contents collectively. You can use it freely. Filtering refers to determining whether the uploaded digital content is a digital asset or not, and an agency that specializes in such filtering is called a filtering company. In order to secure the efficiency and objectivity of filtering algorithms using electronic fingerprints and to reduce the cost of developing and maintaining filtering technology, many web hard service providers use specialized filtering companies. The filtering company determines whether the uploaded content is copyrighted content at the request of the web hard service provider. Therefore, the market size is expanded with the emergence of the legal download market by the provision of the affiliated content, and the number of users of the download service is increasing.

However, in recent years, despite the affiliated content, the billing is not normally processed or a lot of missing content is generated, and a huge damage is caused to the rights holder, and a serious blow is caused to the copyright to be protected. One of the biggest causes of such illegal digital content generation is a detour upload method using a server-to-server FTP method, rather than being uploaded through an upload module of a normal web hard server. Since the bypass upload method is difficult to properly recognize the upload of the digital content of the web hard server, the filtering is not properly performed, even though the affiliated content is downloaded as non-affiliated content, causing enormous damage to the copyright holder.

Recently, copyright holders have decided that the reason for the circumvention upload is not only an illegal uploader but also aiding or acquiring a relay service provider, and has shown a huge penalty for the relay service provider. However, the relay service provider has a financial burden of additional surveillance personnel to block the detour upload, and suffers from the problem that if the real-time monitoring for 24 hours does not detect it properly, all damages must be taken. It is true.

The download terminal 200 is a device for performing a download function (payment, storage of a file, etc.) provided by the relay server 300 according to a user's usage rights, and is typically a personal terminal (PC, mobile phone, PDA). Etc.).

The relay server 300 is provided so that the upload terminal and the download terminal can be connected to each other via wired and wireless Internet to share the file with a plurality of people through all the bulletin boards, messengers, etc. that can upload and download files in an Internet service environment. As a device, it usually refers to P2P or shared web hard. When the uploader wants to upload digital content to the relay server 300, the relay server 300 provides an upload module to upload the digital content to the upload terminal 100. When the uploader uploads the digital content through the upload module, the relay server 300 generates a verification key, adds the verification key to the digital content, and stores the verification key in the database. In addition, the relay server 300 transmits the information and the electronic fingerprint on the digital content to the filtering server 400 and requests a filtering. The electronic fingerprint is used to determine whether the copyrighted work is matched with the electronic fingerprint of the digital work. The relay server 300 receives the filtering result and sales information from the filtering server. In other words, if the received filtering result corresponds to a copyrighted work, the upload is completed by registering and marking it as 'partnered content' and adding sales information about the copyrighted work to the bulletin board. At this time, the download terminal 200 can be downloaded with the payment for the selling price. At this time, it is determined whether a detour upload is made by determining whether a verification key is present for digital content registered in a bulletin board. The relay server 300 will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 2.

The filtering server 400 receives digital asset information from the relay server 300 or the rights holder terminal 500 and registers the digital asset as a digital asset. Then, by the filtering request for the digital content uploaded from the upload terminal 100, the electronic fingerprint received from the relay server 300 is compared with the electronic fingerprint of the registered digital work, and the identity test is performed. The information is transmitted to the relay server 300. At this time, the relay server 300 completes the upload by setting the copyright for the same digital content as the registered digital work and adding the sales information to the affiliated content.

The upload module includes an input window for inputting information such as title and classification of digital content, and a selection window for specifying and uploading digital content to upload. When the uploader uploads the digital content through the upload module, the upload manager 310 generates a verification key and adds the verification key to the uploaded digital content, and the digital content DB together with the digital content, the digital content information, and the uploader information. Save to 360. The verification key is used to determine whether the digital content is uploaded through the normal upload module.

When the download manager 320 receives a request for downloading digital content from the download terminal 200, the download manager 320 checks the payment means and the payment and then downloads the digital content to the download terminal 200. send.

The filtering manager 330 extracts the electronic fingerprint of the uploaded digital content, requests filtering from the filtering server 400, receives filtering results and sales information from the filtering server 400, and stores the digital fingerprint DB in the digital content DB 360. do. The extracted electronic fingerprint includes a hash value and DNA. In this way, the filtered digital content is registered in the bulletin board and can be downloaded by the download terminal 200.

The relay control unit 340 registers the digital content stored in the digital content DB 360 to the bulletin board in the uploaded order, and adds the sales information to the registered digital content according to the filtering result. For example, if the filtering result corresponds to a work, the relay control unit 340 registers and displays digital content as 'partner content' and adds sales information about the work to the bulletin board. In addition, the relay controller 340 detects whether a verification key is added to the digital content registered in the bulletin board and determines whether the digital content is uploaded through a normal upload module or an illegal bypass upload. That is, if the verification key is added to the digital content, the digital content is uploaded through the normal upload module. If the verification key is not added to the digital content, the digital content is uploaded illegally.

As described above, the detour uploaded digital content is deleted from the bulletin board or blocked in advance so that the relay control unit 340 is no longer downloadable, and the normally uploaded digital content is registered in the bulletin board and downloaded to the download terminal 200. The download becomes possible.

The settlement unit 350 collects the total number of times and the amount of money downloaded for each digital content registered in the bulletin board and distributes them to the uploader and the copyright holder at a predetermined rate. The settlement process is performed in a predetermined cycle, and the distribution rate is predetermined by a preliminary agreement between the uploader and the copyright holder.

On the other hand, the copyrighted material DB (360) stores the digital content information, the original file of the digital content, electronic fingerprints, rights company related information (right company ID, right company name, rights company code, etc.). In addition, digital content information and a verification key to be uploaded or downloaded are stored.
