If access to the selected content is not restricted, the server 10 provides the content to the user. The user creates the content provided from the server 10 and returns the content to the server 10. As a result, the content management unit 109 of the server 10 stores the content created by the user in the joint work space assigned to the user, and stores the content in the content information database 40 when the creation work is completed. Further, since the content has been updated, update information (version, update date, updater, etc.) of the content is created.

[0053]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a content co-creation process according to one embodiment of the present invention.

The user logs in to the intermediary via the network 20 (step 1). At this time, the user management unit 102 refers to the user information table 31 and can log in when the user name matches the password assigned to the user name (step 2). If not registered, the user registration unit 102 sends the user information table 3
1 (step 3), the space management unit 104 registers the user content area in the user content area information table 32, and then logs in to the intermediary co-creation space 110.

When the user A registers a new content (step 20), the content is registered in the content registration area of the user using the content registration storage unit 107, and the content information is registered in the content information table 41 (step 20). Step 21). When registering a content, it is necessary to create additional information of the content as a key for searching for the registered content. In this case, the content additional information creation support unit 108 is used. In this way, the contents are compressed and edited. A content such as a photo has a reduced resolution or a sample with a reduced number of colors, and a moving image or the like is registered in the content additional information database 50 as a sample of one short scene. Registration of these sample contents and sentences describing the contents of the contents is performed by the content additional information creation support unit 10.
8, additional information can be registered in the content area of the user A, and additional information can be registered in the content information.

When using the content registration and storage unit 107, it is possible to restrict access to the registered content, and the setting of a user who permits a certain access and the setting of access restriction to other users can be performed. It can be registered in the user content access restriction information table.

The type of access restriction is as follows:
Searching, editing, deleting, etc. of the main body are possible.

In the case of registering the contents, if the creation of the joint contents by the additional processing of the contents by another person is permitted, the joint creation key can be created and registered in the contents joint creation information table 44. In the registered content, additional information such as a sample is disclosed based on the access restriction of the user content access restriction information table 43 through the mediation of the content.

When user B wants to co-create content, user B searches for the content (step 1).
0), from viewing the additional information (step 11), determine the content to be co-created, and create a content co-creation request (step 13). The co-creation request is delivered to the former creator of the content, and if the consent of the former creator is obtained, a content co-creation key is issued (step 14).

When the original creator of the content and the co-creation are permitted (step 35), the range in which the co-creator can process and the ratio of the original creator's copyright to the secondary work can be designated. In addition, it is possible to perform encryption processing on the content to be passed to the co-creator with the public key published by the co-creator, and to limit users who can receive the content. The user B can download the corresponding content from the server 10 to a terminal connected to the network 20 (step 15), and can process the content.

The content processed by the user B is registered in the content space of the user B of the server 10, and the original creator (user A) can request a confirmation / examination of the content (step 36). If the user A does not want to publish the content processed by the user B, the publishing of the content can be refused.

Further, the user B can process the content again and receive the examination of the user A. If the user A considers that the processed content by the user B may be released as a collaborative product, the content is released as a collaborative content with the former creator (step 17).

If the co-creator is dissatisfied with the result of the examination of the content by the former creator, consultation or the like can be conducted based on the processing range specified first by the former creator. If a co-authoring request is issued by another creator for co-authored content, a request is made to all creators involved in the co-authoring, and a new joint Authorization to the creator and issuance of the co-created key are performed.

Next, the above operation will be described in detail.
