Notify about availability and obtain availability. In response to the notification, the content information is updated with the content approved by all the authors and portraits of the content as the content that has been approved to be published.

  Next, a flow in the configuration of the content management system will be described with reference to FIGS. First, with reference to FIG. 4, an outline of the content registration operation in one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The user inputs login information (user ID, password, etc.) at the input unit of the terminal device (S401). The login information is received from the transmission / reception unit of the terminal device via the network by the transmission / reception unit of the content management server, and the user management unit performs user identification. When the user management unit confirms that the user is registered by referring to the login information, the content management server notifies the terminal device of a login completion notification (S403). As the log-in means, a user ID and password input from the input unit of the terminal device may be used, and an e-mail address may be used as the user ID. Further, when the terminal device is a mobile phone, it may be configured to automatically log in using the terminal authentication mechanism of the mobile phone terminal without inputting from the input unit.

  When the user selects content registration from the terminal device menu (S405), the content management server notifies the terminal device of notification of permission for content registration (S407). The menu of the terminal device may be a menu of application software stored in advance in the terminal device or a menu received from the content management server. When the user selects the content to be registered from the content holding unit that is not yet connected, the terminal device transmits the content to the content management server. At the same time when the content registration unit of the content management server registers the content, the content information setting unit associates the user of the terminal device with the content and sets the content information as a registrant (S409). The user can input information of the author and portrait of the content transmitted from the terminal device. When the information of the author and portrait is received by the content management server, the content information setting unit of the content management server The information of the author and portrait is associated with the registered content and stored in the content information storage unit (S411). When the process is normally performed, a content registration completion notification is notified from the content management server to the terminal device (S413). Further, when additionally registering content, the content can be registered again or moved to another menu. When the process ends, logout is performed (S415). The operation on the content management server is completed (S417).

  A case where user A registers contents 1 and 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 shows the content information stored in the content information storage unit. The content information includes a content field, a registrant field, an author field, a portrait field, and an authorizer field. Identification information of registered content is recorded in the content column. A user who has the copyright of the content is recorded in the author column. In the portrait field, users who have the right to portrait content are recorded. The user who consents to publish the content is recorded in the approver field.

  When the user A logs into the system and the user B transmits the content 1 taken of the user C to the content management server, the content management server stores the content 1 in the content storage unit and also registers the content 1 A is stored in the content information storage unit. The user A can input the information of the author and the portrait for the content 1, and when the information of the author B and the portrait C is input to the content 1, the information is associated with the content 1. And stored in the content information storage unit. Furthermore, when the user A registers the content 2 in which the user A has photographed the users B and C, and inputs the information of the author and the portrait, the author A and the portraits B and C are included in the content 2. The content information is stored in the content information storage unit. Note that the content 3 is obtained by the user C himself / herself registering the content 3 taken by the user C.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6, an outline of the content publication request operation according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The user can log in from the terminal device (S601, S603) and select a registered / shared content list from the menu (S605). The content management server searches the content information management unit for the registered content registered by the logged-in user and the shared content set by the logged-in user as the author or portrait from the content information storage unit. The list is returned to the terminal device as registered / shared contents of the user who logged in the contents (S607). The user can specify the content to be published from the list, and the content management server receives the publication requested content from the user (S609). In the content management confirmation / approval unit of the content management server, the author and the portrait of the requested content are searched from the content information storage unit, and notification of the content disclosure is notified to the author terminal and the portrait terminal (S611). , S613). The author terminal and the portrait terminal indicate a terminal associated with the author and the portrait, and may be a terminal owned by the author and the portrait, and can be logged in by the author and the portrait But you can. In the case where the user himself / herself is included in the author / portrait to be notified, the notification to the user himself / herself may be omitted because it is determined that the consent has been given. Further, the notification from the content management server to the author terminal and the portrait terminal may be made by using an e-mail or a messenger, or may be notified when logging into the content management server or when logging in next time. The author and the portrait person who have received the notification can return the availability of disclosure to the content embedding server (S615, S617). An e-mail or a messenger may be used for the reply from the author and the portrait person to the content management server, or the reply may be made by logging in to the content management server. The content management server's content disclosure confirmation / acceptance section aggregates the approval / disapproval received from the author terminal and the approver terminal, and if the author and all the portrait owners indicate that the approval has been obtained, the consent to release is obtained. The content is published as the content that has been set. And the result of consent is notified to the user terminal which requested the publication (S619). The notification to the user terminal may be made by using e-mail or messenger, or may be displayed on the terminal device if the user is still logged in. If the user is logged off, the next time It may be displayed when logging in. Before the result of the acceptance is notified, a request for publishing other contents may be continued, or the user may move to another menu or log out (S621, S623).

  A case where user A requests to publish contents 1 and 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the user A logs in to the content management server and selects the registered / shared content list, the content management server accesses the content information storage unit, and the content set by the user A as the registrant and the user A Search for content set for the author and portrait. In this case, the contents 1 and 2 are displayed on the user's terminal as the registration / shared contents of the user A. User A can request to publish contents 1 and 2. When the user A requests the publication of the content 1, the publication confirmation is notified to the author B and the portrait artist C. When user A requests to publish content A, portraits B and C are notified of the release confirmation. Since user A and author A match, there is no need to notify author A. Content 1 is approved by the author B for publication, and the portrait C is not obtained. Therefore, the content 1 is not released. On the other hand, since the content 2 has been approved by the author A and the portraits B and C, it is made public as a referable content.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, an outline of the content reference operation in one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The user can log in from the terminal device (S701, S703) and select a referable content list from the menu (S705). The content sharing management unit of the content management server lists contents that can be referred to (registered / shared content of logged-in users, and content that has been approved for publication and includes logged-in users in the scope of publication). Is returned to the terminal device (S707). The user can select content to be referred to from the list and transmit it to the content management server, and receives the content selected from the user by the content management server (S709). The content distribution unit of the content management server transmits the selected content to the terminal device (S711). The content is displayed on the content display unit of the terminal device. Another referable content may be selected to continue browsing the content, or may move to another menu. When the process is to be completed, logout is performed (S713), and the operation to the content management server is completed (S715).

  A case where the user D refers to the content will be described with reference to FIG. Since the content 1 is not approved by the portrait artist C, the content 1 cannot be referred to by the user D. Content 2 is a content that can be referred to by user D because all the consents of the author and the portrait have been obtained. Content 3 has not been approved by the author and the portrait, but since the portrait includes user D, it is a registered / shared content for user D, that is, a content that can be referred to by user D. Therefore, when the user D selects a content list from the menu, a list including the content 1 and the content 3 is displayed on the terminal device, and the user D can display the content 1 or the content 3.

  In one embodiment of the invention, the content also includes secondary content. The secondary content is content obtained by editing and editing the original shared content by the user. In this case, the author information includes information of the original author and information of the secondary author. When creating the secondary content, the registered / shared content held in the content holding unit 119 when referred to from the terminal device may be processed and edited in the terminal device, and the registered / shared content is stored in a device external to the terminal device. May be copied and edited and registered in the content management server. Alternatively, the processing / editing instruction information may be transmitted from the terminal device to the registered / shared content in the content management server, and the processing / editing may be performed in the content management server. For example, an instruction to delete a part of the original content may be used as the processing editing instruction information. In this way, for example, a portrait person whose consent has not been obtained can be deleted from the content, and the secondary content can be made public even if the original content has not been approved for publication.

  As described above, when the secondary content is created, the information of the author and portrait of the original content can be taken over, and the author information and portrait information of the content can be set by adding the secondary author. When the content is a secondary content, the content release confirmation / acceptance unit notifies the original author, the secondary author, and the portrait of the release permission, and acquires the release permission.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram of an embodiment in which a content editing unit 801 is added to the content management server 201 of FIG. When the registered / shared content is processed and edited to create secondary content, the content editing unit 801 receives a copy of the content and content information processed and edited from the content management unit 211 of the content management server 201, and receives the terminal device 203. The processing editing is performed based on the processing editing instruction information input by the input unit 215. Content information to which the edited secondary content and secondary author information are added is transferred to the content management unit 211, and the content and content information are registered.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the content registered in the content management server from the terminal device includes personal content (such as a still image or a moving image taken by the user). Personal content captured by a user with a camera built in or connected to the terminal device may be transmitted to the content management server. After the personal content captured by the user with an external camera is copied to the terminal device, the personal content is stored in the content management server. You may send it.

  In any configuration, the content management server may distribute content only to registered users, and content that has been approved for disclosure by users other than registered users. May be delivered.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, when a content publication request is made, the content publication confirmation / acceptance unit notifies the author and the portrait person of the content publication range. When all the authors and portraits of the content have accepted the notification of the disclosure range, the content information is updated as the content that has been approved for disclosure. The scope of disclosure may be for all registered or unregistered users, or may be specified only for registered users, or may be specified from a list of users. It may be included in a user group configured by the management unit, or a combination thereof. Also, a black list method may be used in which the information is disclosed to a specific user or a specific user group. The content distribution unit publishes content according to the disclosure range of each content.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of content information data when the disclosure range can be set in this way. The content information includes a public acceptance range field in addition to a content field, a registrant field, an author field, and a portrait field. A user who is set in the content release consent range can refer to the content.

  When the user C photographs the user D and the registrant C tries to publish the content 3 registered by the user C himself, the consent of the author C and the portrait writer D is required. When both the author C and the portrait artist D agree to publish the content 3 to all users, ALL is set in the disclosure consent range of the content 3.

  Furthermore, when the user C registers the content 4 taken by the user C, the content information of the content 4 is recorded. When the user A processes and edits the content 4 and additionally registers it, the content information of the content 5 is recorded. When the user E photographs and registers the content 6 without a person, the content information of the content 6 is recorded.

  The content information thus constructed is managed as registered / shared content and referenceable content for each user. FIG. 10 is a list of registered / shared contents and referenceable contents of each user in FIG.

  A user who is set as one of the content registrant, author, and portrait can share the content as registered / shared content. That is, the user A can share the contents 4 and 5 whose portrait is himself as registered / shared contents in addition to the contents 1, 2 and 5 where he is a registered person. In addition, the consent of disclosure has been obtained, and the content included in the disclosure range by the user and the user's own registered / shared content can be referred to as referable content. That is, the user A can refer to the registered content 3, 2, 4, and 5 as well as the content 3 that has been approved for publication to the entire user. The user F who does not correspond to any of the registered contents, the author, and the portrait of the registered contents can refer only to the contents 3 for which the consent for disclosure is obtained for all users.

  According to the present invention, the user who registered the content can set the information of the author and the portrait in order to share the content with the author and the portrait, and when publishing the content, It is possible to confirm and approve copyright and portrait rights using the set author and portrait information. Therefore, even those who do not have detailed knowledge about copyright and portrait rights can protect the manners related to copyright and portrait rights without the need for special management of copyright and portrait rights. It can be made public.

  In addition, when registering and publishing secondary content that has been edited and edited from the shared content, the original author, secondary author, and portrait artist are used using the information of the original author, secondary author, and portrait. Confirmation and consent can be made. Accordingly, in this case as well, the secondary content can be disclosed to the outside with peace of mind.

  When editing and editing secondary content, information related to the author and portrait of the original content can be taken over, which can reduce the time and effort required for association by the user. Tampering with information can be prevented. Further, by performing content editing processing inside the content management system, it is possible to prevent content duplication from flowing out of the system.

  In addition, according to the present invention, personal contents can be shared with the author and the portrait person. Since sharing of personal content is a natural user's natural desire, even if there is no merit due to billing or the like, it becomes easy for the user to actively and voluntarily use it.

  Furthermore, by setting the content disclosure range, the content can be disclosed only to a specific user or a specific group. This enables flexible operation and improves convenience.

  Regardless of the configuration of any content management server, content may be managed not only for still images and moving images, but also for text and other types of files. A file without a portrait can be handled in the same framework by managing the information of the registrant and the author without setting the portrait information.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, as a content management unit and display unit, registration date and time, registrant name (or nickname), title, text, attached file, etc. are managed and displayed in units of entries that collectively constitute a file. May be. Such an entry is a unit that is common in the Weblog and moblog systems that are one form of the content management server of the prior art, and the registrant, author, and portrait may be managed on an entry-by-entry basis. Registrants, authors, and portraits may be managed for individual attached files such as still images and moving images included in each entry. Further, the entry and the attached file may be managed in combination, or may be managed hierarchically.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the content management server and the terminal device are connected to the Internet, and the content management server configures a home page in units of entries and distributes content via the Internet. In this embodiment, the terminal device may include a camera that captures still images and moving images, and the captured still images and moving image content may be transmitted to the content management server. According to this embodiment, in a system for publishing a homepage such as Weblog, it is possible to publish in compliance with copyright and portrait rights, and troubles related to copyright and portrait rights can be reduced.

The content management server and the transmission / reception unit of the terminal device may transmit / receive using a protocol such as HTTP or FTP, or may be transmitted / received by mail or mail attachment using a protocol such as SMTP, or transmitted / received using a dedicated protocol. It is also possible to send and receive in a combination thereof.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device includes a camera that captures a still image, a moving image, and the like, and can register content by attaching an email. According to this embodiment, in a system such as blog that publishes a registered homepage from a camera-equipped mobile phone or the like, it is possible to publish in compliance with copyright and portrait rights, and to reduce troubles related to copyright and portrait rights. Can do.
