Then, the source information acquisition unit 5e generates the content information table T1 (see FIG. 2) by associating the acquired source information with the identification information “ID” of each content information D.
At this time, the source information acquisition unit 5e may store the usage condition information (license) included in each content information D acquired by the first condition acquisition unit 5c in the content information table T1 in association with each other. .
In the content information table T1 shown in FIG. 2, as the identification information “ID” of each content information D, a moving image (Video) is represented by “V”, and a still image (Picture) is represented by “P”. Music (Music) is schematically represented by “M”. Further, the content of the content information table T1 is an example and is not limited thereto, and can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate.
For example, when the user performs a predetermined operation on the operation input unit 3 to separately input the origin information of the n-th work, the content information table T1 further stores the origin information of the n-order work itself. May be.

The image generation unit 5f generates credit image data C.
That is, the image generating unit (generating unit) 5f displays the source information acquired by the source information acquiring unit 5e in accordance with a predetermined usage rule (for example, a usage rule for a creative commons license) related to the use of a copyrighted work. Credit image data C (display information). Specifically, the image generation unit 5f displays a time table indicating the use timing, reproduction time, and the like of a plurality of pieces of content information D,... (For example, still images, moving images, etc.) used for generating the n-order work. Along with this, credit image data C (see FIG. 3) in which source information (for example, “title name”, “author name”, etc.) corresponding to the plurality of pieces of content information D,... Acquired by the source information acquisition unit 5e is arranged. ) Is generated.
The content of the credit image data C is an example and is not limited to this, and can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate.

The image association unit (display information association unit) 5g associates the credit image data C with the n-th order work.
That is, the image associating unit 5g associates the n-th copyrighted work with the credit image data C so that the image based on the credit image data C generated by the image generating unit 5f is displayed together with the n-th copyrighted work. Specifically, for example, in the case of a moving image in which the n-th order literary work is composed of a plurality of frame images, the image association unit 5g is designated by the user according to a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by the user. The image (credit image) corresponding to the credit image data C is added to the position (for example, behind the last frame image).
Further, for example, when the n-th copyrighted work is a still image, the image association unit 5g specifies a user-desired position designated based on a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by the user (for example, designated on the still image). The image corresponding to the credit image data C is added to the position etc.
The image associating unit 5g associates the n-th copyrighted work with the credit image data C so that an image based on the credit image data C is displayed at a position designated as a default of the n-th copyrighted work in advance. May be.

The editing instruction unit 5h instructs editing of the n-th copyrighted work.
In other words, the editing instruction unit (editing instruction means) 5h is associated with the content information (authorized work) D used to generate the n-th copyrighted work, and the content information D is used as a predetermined usage rule (for example, Creative Commons. Based on the use condition information for use according to the license use rules), the editing of the n-th order work is instructed.
Specifically, the editing instruction unit 5h determines whether or not the usage condition of the content information D is satisfied in the n-th work based on the usage condition information acquired by the first condition acquisition unit 5c. For example, the editing instruction unit 5h reads out and acquires the license information table T2 (see FIG. 4) stored in a predetermined storage unit (for example, the memory 2 or the like), and obtains the material of the n-th copyrighted work. In accordance with the license included in the content information D, the license that can be specified in the n-th order work is specified. Then, the editing instruction unit 5h refers to the credit image data C of the n-th work, and determines whether or not the n-th work satisfies the specified license. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the license of the content information D that is the material of the n-th work is “BY”, “n” is used as a license in the n-th work. For example, when the license of the content information D that is the material of the nth order work is “BY-NC”, the line is not included in the nth order work. As a sense, “BY-NC”, “BY-NC-ND”, or “BY-NC-SA” represented by “○” can be specified.
The content of the license information table T2 is an example and is not limited to this, and can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate.
Note that when a license that can be specified for an n-order work is specified, use condition information of the n-order work itself may be stored in a predetermined storage unit.

Then, when it is determined that the use condition of the content information D is not satisfied as a result of the determination, the edit instruction unit 5h instructs the user to edit the nth order work so that the use condition of the content information D is satisfied. To do. Specifically, the editing instruction unit 5 h outputs to the display control unit 7 a display control instruction for causing the display unit 6 to display an editing instruction screen (not shown) for instructing editing of the n-order work. For example, the editing instruction unit 5h gives the display control unit 7 a display control instruction related to an editing instruction screen for instructing the deletion of the content information D inappropriate as the material of the n-th copyrighted work or the change of the usage mode of the content information D. Output.
When the display control instruction output from the editing instruction unit 5h is input, the display control unit 7 causes the display unit 6 to display a predetermined editing instruction screen according to the display control instruction.
In this state, whenever an inappropriate deletion of the content information D or a change in the usage mode of the content information D is performed based on a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by the user, the editing instruction unit 5h It is repeatedly determined whether or not the usage condition of the content information D is satisfied for the object.

  The display unit 6 includes a display such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), and displays various types of information on the display screen under the control of the display control unit 7.

The display control unit 7 performs control to generate display data and display it on the display screen of the display unit 6.
Specifically, the display control unit 7 includes a video card (not shown) including, for example, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), a VRAM (Video Random Access Memory), and the like. Then, when reproducing the n-order work, the display control unit 7 generates display data for the n-order work by a drawing process using a video card in accordance with a display instruction from the central control unit 1. Output.

The speaker 8 emits a predetermined sound under the control of the sound emission control unit 9.
That is, when reproducing the n-th order work, the sound emission control unit 9 performs D / A conversion on the sound data of the n-order work by a data conversion unit (not shown) in accordance with the sound emission instruction from the central control unit 1. Process and output from speaker 8.

<Copyright creation process>
Next, the literary work generation processing by the literary work generation apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation related to the literary work generation process.

As shown in FIG. 5, first, the n-order literary work generation unit 5 a generates an n-order literary work based on a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by the user (step S <b> 1). Specifically, the n-th copyrighted work generation unit 5a is, for example, a user designated based on a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by a user among a plurality of pieces of content information D disclosed by the server 200. Desired content information D, creative creation created by the user, and the like are acquired. Then, the n-th order literary work generation unit 5a generates the n-th order literary work by rearranging the content information D, creations, and the like acquired as materials in the order desired by the user.

Next, the determination unit 5b determines whether the content information D acquired as a material includes usage condition information for use in accordance with the usage rules of the creative commons license (step S2).
Here, if it is determined that the usage condition information is included (step S2; YES), the first condition acquisition unit 5c uses the usage condition information from each content information D and the like used to generate the n-th copyrighted work. Is extracted and acquired (step S3).

Subsequently, the source information acquisition unit 5e acquires source information from each piece of content information D and the like used for generating the n-th copyrighted work (step S4). Specifically, the source information acquisition unit 5e acquires source information such as “title name”, “author name”, “published year”, etc. included in each content information D, etc. A content information table T1 (see FIG. 2) is generated in association with the identification information “ID” of each content information D.
For content information D that does not include source information, for example, the source information acquisition unit 5e acquires source information input based on a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by the user, and the content information table T1 May be generated.

Next, the image generating unit 5f generates credit image data C for displaying the source information acquired by the source information acquiring unit 5e in accordance with the usage rules of the creative commons license (step S5). Specifically, the image generation unit 5f provides source information (for example, “title”) corresponding to the plurality of content information D,... Credit image data C in which “name”, “author name”, etc.) are arranged.
Subsequently, the image association unit 5g corresponds to the credit image data C at a user-desired position (for example, behind the last frame image) designated based on a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by the user, for example. A credit image is added (step S6).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S2 that usage condition information is not included (step S2; NO), the notification control unit 5d controls the display unit 6, the speaker 8, and the like, so that the nth-order work is displayed. A notice that usage condition information is not included in the copyrighted work used for generation is notified in a predetermined notification mode (step S7). When the use condition is specified based on a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by the user, the editing processing unit 5 sets the specified use condition desired by the user as the use condition for the n-th copyrighted work (step S8). ).

  After the process of step S6 or S8, the editing instruction unit 5h determines whether or not the n-th copyrighted work satisfies the usage conditions for the content information D (step S9). Specifically, the editing instruction unit 5h, based on the license information table T2 (see FIG. 4), determines the n-th order work according to the license included in each content information D that is the material of the n-th order work. The license that can be specified in the object is specified, and it is determined whether or not the n-th order work satisfies the specified license.

If it is determined in step S9 that the usage condition for the content information D is not satisfied (step S9; NO), the editing instruction unit 5h displays a display control instruction related to the editing instruction screen for instructing editing of the n-th copyrighted work. Is output to the display control unit 7, and the display control unit 7 displays a predetermined editing instruction screen on the display unit 6 in accordance with the input display control instruction (step S10).
Thereafter, the editing instruction unit 5h edits the n-order work, such as deleting inappropriate content information D or changing the usage mode of the content information D, based on a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by the user. It is determined whether or not it has been received (step S11).
Here, if it is determined that the nth order work has not been edited (step S11; NO), the editing instruction unit 5h determines that the nth order work has been edited (step S11; YES). The determination process is repeatedly executed until it is determined (step S11).

If it is determined in step S11 that the n-th order work has been edited (step S11; YES), the editing instruction unit 5h returns the process to step S9, and the n-th order work is a use condition of the content information D. Is determined (step S9).
Each of the above processes is sequentially executed until it is determined in step S9 that the usage conditions for the content information D are satisfied.

If it is determined in step S9 that the usage conditions for the content information D are satisfied (step S9; YES), the editing processing unit 5 stores the generated n-th copyrighted work data in a predetermined storage means. (Step S12), the copyrighted work generation process is terminated.
In step S12, for example, use condition information and source information of the n-th work itself input separately based on a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by the user is used as the data for the n-th work as the predetermined storage means. You may memorize.

  As described above, according to the literary work generation apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the origin information of the literary work used to generate the n-th literary work is acquired, and a predetermined usage rule (eg, Credit image data C to be displayed in accordance with the creative commons license, etc., and the n-th work and credit so that the image based on the generated credit image data C is displayed together with the n-th work. Since it is associated with the image data C, a credit for displaying the source information indicating the source of the copyrighted work in accordance with the predetermined usage rules for the copyrighted work even if the number of the copyrighted works as the material of the n-th copyrighted work increases. By automatically generating image data C and associating it with the n-order work, it is easier to create the n-order work in consideration of the copyright of the work that is the material of the n-order work. Ukoto can.

In addition, since the n-order work is instructed to be edited based on the use condition information associated with the work used to generate the n-order work and using the work according to a predetermined usage rule, It is possible to more appropriately create the n-th order work in consideration of the use conditions for using the work as the material of the next work according to a predetermined use rule. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the usage conditions for the copyrighted work are satisfied in the n-th order work, and when it is determined that the usage conditions for the copyrighted work are not satisfied, it is used for generating the n-th order copyrighted work. The editing of the n-th order work is instructed so as to satisfy the use conditions of the copyrighted work, so that the n-th order work should be created using the work in a manner that does not satisfy the use conditions of the work. Can be limited.
At this time, it is determined whether or not the copyrighted work used to generate the n-th order copyrighted work contains usage condition information. If it is determined that the copyrighted work contains usage condition information, Since the use condition information is acquired from the product, the use condition information associated with the work that is the material of the n-th work can be appropriately acquired, and the n-th work is created in consideration of the use conditions. Can be performed more appropriately.
In addition, when it is determined that the use condition information is not included in the copyrighted work, it is notified that the use condition information is not included in the copyrighted work. For example, a copyrighted work obtained from other than the server 200 is used. Even when the n-th order work is generated, the copyright of the work can be taken into consideration.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various improvements and design changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
Below, the modification of the literary work production | generation apparatus 100 is demonstrated in detail.

To get. Specifically, the server 200 </ b> A transmits usage condition information associated with the identification information of the literary work used for generating the n-th literary work via a predetermined communication network N. In the copyrighted work generating apparatus 100 </ b> A, when the transmitted use condition information is received by the communication control unit 4, the second condition acquisition unit 5 i acquires the use condition information received by the communication control unit 4.

  Then, the editing instruction unit 5h determines whether or not the use condition of the content information D is satisfied in the n-th copyrighted work based on the use condition information acquired by the second condition acquisition unit 5i.

  Therefore, according to the literary work generation device 100A of the first modification, the n-th literary work is generated from the use condition storage table T3 that stores the identification information for identifying the literary work and the use condition information of the work in association with each other. Since the use condition information associated with the identification information of the copyrighted work used in the above is acquired, the use condition information associated with the work that is the material of the n-th work can be appropriately acquired. In consideration of the use conditions, it is possible to more appropriately create the n-th order work.

<Modification 2>
The literary work generation device of Modification 2 acquires a plurality of source information associated with a literary work used to generate the n-th order literary work by a source information acquisition unit (first acquisition means) 5e, The source information is associated with each other and stored in the memory (source information storage means) 2 as the source information of the n-th work.
That is, the literary work generation apparatus according to the second modified example uses a predetermined usage rule (for example, Creative Commons) relating to the use of a literary work, as in the above-described embodiments and the first literary work generation apparatuses 100 and 100A. (1) A credit image to be displayed in accordance with a license usage rule) is not generated and associated with the n-th work, but the source information of the n-th work is obtained by associating the source information of the plurality of obtained works with each other. For example, the data is stored as source information text data).
Further, the use condition information of the work used for the generation of the n-order work is acquired by the second condition acquisition unit (second acquisition means) 5i, and the use condition information of the acquired work is stored in the memory (use condition storage means). ) 2 may be stored.
Further, the origin information of the n-order work itself input separately based on a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by the user may be stored in the memory 2 as the origin information of the n-order work. Furthermore, the usage condition information of the n-th copyrighted work itself that is separately input based on a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by the user may be stored in the memory 2 in association with the source information.

Even in such a configuration, by using a plurality of source information stored in the memory 2 as the source information of the n-th copyrighted work, the image generation unit 5f displays the plurality of source information. Credit image data C, that is, for example, credit image data C for displaying source information in accordance with a predetermined usage rule (for example, a usage rule of a creative commons license) related to the use of a copyrighted work can be generated.
Therefore, even if the number of works that are materials of the n-th order work increases, the credit image data C of the n-order work can be easily generated, and the copyright of the work that is the material of the n-order work is increased. In consideration of the above, it is possible to create an n-th order work more easily.
In addition, when the usage condition information of the copyrighted work used to generate the n-order work is stored, the usage conditions of the copyrighted work used to generate the n-order work can be grasped, and the material becomes the material of the n-order work. Even if the number of works increases, it is possible to easily create n-th order works according to the usage rules. In addition, when creating an n + 1-order work using an n-order work as a material, it is possible to grasp the source information used for the generation of the n-order work and the source information and the use conditions of the n-order work itself. Therefore, it is possible to easily create an n + 1 order work.

  In the above-described embodiment and the like, the configuration is such that the editing of the n-th order work is instructed based on the use condition information associated with the work used to generate the n-th order work. This is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. Whether or not the editing instruction unit 5h is provided can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate. That is, for example, by automatically restricting the mode of using a work as a material in an n-order work based on the use condition information associated with the work, the work is inevitably given a predetermined value. It is good also as a structure which satisfy | fills the usage condition for using according to a usage rule.

  In the above-described embodiment, the user-desired n-th order work is generated. However, this is only an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. These can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate. That is, the literary work generation apparatus 100 (100A) does not necessarily include the n-th literary work generation unit 5a. For example, the n-th literary work generated using an external device (not shown) is acquired and used. Such a configuration may be adopted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the Creative Commons license is exemplified as the predetermined usage rule for the use of the copyrighted work. However, the example is not limited to this example, and can be arbitrarily changed as appropriate. It is.

  The “display” of the usage condition information of the Creative Commons license may be displayed not only as a text of the copyright owner's name and work title but also as a logo image or sound. Also in this case, as in the above-described embodiment, a logo image is displayed or a sound is generated at a designated user-desired position in the n-order work based on a predetermined operation of the operation input unit 3 by the user. It is possible.

In addition, for example, an n-order work may be created in real time as in DJ play, and the n-order work may be viewed in real time without being saved.
Specifically, for example, an effect is added to the music of the n-1 primary work used for the creation of the nth work using DJmix software, and the music with the effect is reproduced in real time. Or when it is played back in the video in synchronization with the created video.
In this case, “display” of the usage condition information of the Creative Commons license may be displayed in real time. When a music piece or a moving picture is played back in real time, it is possible to display information on the n−1th order work or the nth order work at a predetermined place of the music piece or the moving picture. After the creation of the nth order work, for example, after the demonstration of the DJ play, the information on the n-1st order work or the nth order work may be displayed.
As described above, even when the n-order work is created in real time, it is possible to display information on the n-1 order work and the n-order work as in the above-described embodiment.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the functions as the acquisition unit, the generation unit, and the display information association unit are controlled under the control of the central control unit 1, the source information acquisition unit 5e, the image generation unit 5f, and the image association unit. Although the configuration realized by driving the unit 5g is not limited thereto, the configuration may be realized by executing a predetermined program or the like by the CPU of the central control unit 1.
That is, a program including an acquisition processing routine, a generation processing routine, and a display information association processing routine is stored in a program memory that stores the program. Then, the CPU of the central control unit 1 is made to function as a means for acquiring source information indicating the source of the work used to generate the n (n; natural number greater than or equal to 2) next work by the acquisition processing routine. Also good. Further, the CPU of the central control unit 1 generates display information for displaying the acquired origin information in accordance with a predetermined usage rule relating to the use of the copyrighted work used for generating the n-order copyrighted work by the generation processing routine. You may make it function as a means. Further, the CPU of the central control unit 1 is caused to function as a means for associating the n-order work and the display information so that the generated display information is displayed together with the n-order work by the display information association processing routine. Also good.

  Further, a program including an acquisition process routine and a source information storage process routine is stored in a program memory that stores the program. Then, the CPU of the central control unit 1 is caused to function as a means for acquiring a plurality of source information indicating the source of the work used to generate the n (n; natural number greater than or equal to 2) next work by the acquisition process routine. May be. Further, the CPU of the central control unit 1 may be caused to function as means for storing a plurality of pieces of acquired source information in association with each other and storing them as source information of the n-th copyrighted work by the source information storage processing routine.

  Similarly, the editing instruction unit, the determination unit, the second acquisition unit, the notification unit, and the generation unit may be realized by executing a predetermined program or the like by the CPU of the central control unit 1.

  Furthermore, as a computer-readable medium storing a program for executing each of the above processes, a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory or a portable recording medium such as a CD-ROM is applied in addition to a ROM or a hard disk. Is also possible. A carrier wave is also used as a medium for providing program data via a predetermined communication line.
