Description

  The present invention relates to a 3D printing data transaction system for trading 3D printing data used for outputting a modeled object with a 3D printer.

  In recent years, an output device capable of outputting a three-dimensional object called a 3D printer in three dimensions has been sold for individuals and companies, and is showing signs of widespread use. A 3D printer is significantly different from a conventional printer in that a 3D model can be output. Therefore, various three-dimensional shaped objects can be output.

  In order to output a modeled object with a 3D printer, information such as 3DCAD and 3DCG (hereinafter referred to as “3D printing data”) including information on the shape and color of the modeled object is required. Based on this 3D printing data, a 3D printer can output a modeled object by using various methods such as an optical modeling method, a powder method, a hot melt lamination method (FDM method), a sheet lamination method, and an ink jet method. .

  The 3D printer can output various shaped objects. Therefore, in addition to the use of creating product prototypes, use in various fields and purposes such as the medical field and the architectural field is being considered. In addition, figures may be created for personal use. Therefore, it may be desired to create 3D printing data for outputting a figure and trade it.

  There is no problem if 3D printing data is created based on the character created by the user and a 3D figure is output based on the data, but 3D printing of content such as characters appearing in animations and comics If the data is created without permission of the right holder and the figure is converted into a three-dimensional figure, there is a possibility of infringing on the copyright of the content or the right of the person who has a commercialization right. However, it cannot be said that such rights can be sufficiently managed by a conventional 3D printing data transaction system.

  On the other hand, it is not possible to satisfy customers' wills only by dealing with 3D printing data of characters created by themselves, and the distribution of 3D printing data such as animation and cartoon characters is particularly active. It is necessary for conversion. However, as described above, since there are problems such as copyrights and commercialization rights, those who have rights to these contents are reluctant to give permission for 3D printing data.

  For this reason, for example, Patent Document 1 below discloses a system that protects the copyright of 3D printing data by creating a 3D barcode for managing copyright and synthesizing it with a modeled object.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-82678

  When the invention of Patent Document 1 is used, copyright management can be performed by embedding a 3D barcode on a model that is output as 3D printing data. However, even if it is possible to manage a 3D printing data model, it is not possible to manage the 3D printing data itself.

  Traditionally, figures created by individual creators are sold at events. In such a case, a right processing method called a copyright system on the day is employed. The day-to-day copyright system means that individual creators who wish to create and sell character figures at events, etc., from the event organizer, who have the copyright and commercialization rights of the character, , A right processing method for obtaining permission to display and sell products as products only at the event venue.

  However, since the copyright system on the day is limited to events, figures and the like cannot be sold outside the event, and although it is simplified, application and management are complicated. In addition, the right holder has a small amount of loyalty, although the procedure is troublesome. As a result, the right holders lack the willingness to develop positively.

  In order to sell other than events, it is necessary to conclude an individual contract with the right holder. For individuals, the conclusion of individual contracts itself is a high threshold.

  Therefore, there is a demand for a system that can efficiently manage copyrights and commercialization rights and lead to the active distribution of 3D printing data such as figures.

  In view of the above problems, the present inventors have invented the 3D printing data transaction system of the present invention.

  A first invention is a 3D printing data transaction system for trading 3D printing data for outputting a modeled object by a 3D printer, the 3D printing data transaction system including 3D printing data The 3D printing data storage unit that stores information related to the 3D printing data and the computer that is used by the creator of the 3D printing data receive the information related to the 3D printing data, and the 3D printing data storage unit stores the information. 3D printing data registration processing unit to be stored, a licensed content storage unit that stores information related to the content subject to use permission, and information related to the content subject to use permission from the computer used by the content licensee A licensed content registration processing unit for receiving the licensed content and storing the licensed content in the licensed content storage unit; And a licensed content screening processing unit that performs screening processing related to the license for the content. If the 3D printing data received from the computer used by the creator is original content, part or all of the data is disclosed. If the 3D printing data received from the computer used by the creator is a licensed content, a part or all of the data is disclosed after receiving a notice of approval from the licensee of the content. This is a 3D printing data transaction system that enables transactions.

  By configuring as in the present invention, the 3D printing data for the content for which the user has a right to use the 3D printing data can be traded as it is, while the permission to use the content such as the character is granted. With regard to 3D printing data that needs to be approved by the license holder, the 3D printing data can be traded when the license holder approves it. Therefore, efficient copyright and commercialization rights can be managed. In addition, since such management can be performed, it leads to active distribution of 3D printing data.

  In the above-described invention, when the 3D printing data registration processing unit accepts registration of 3D printing data for the content to be licensed, selection of the content to be used from the computer used by the licensee , Receiving information on the 3D printing data to be registered, and after receiving the information on the 3D printing data, the licensed content examination processing unit notifies the license holder of the content to be used of the examination request, When the approval notification is received from the computer used by the licensee, part or all of the information regarding the 3D printing data stored in the 3D printing data storage unit is disclosed and used by the licensee 3D printing data stored in the 3D printing data storage unit when a disapproval notice is received from the computer Information about the private, may be constructed as 3D printing data transaction system.

  With the configuration of the present invention, the examination process by the licensee can be executed.

  In the above-described invention, the licensed content registration processing unit includes right fee information as information related to the content to be licensed, and the management computer stores the data in the 3D printing data storage unit. It can be configured as a data transaction system for 3D printing that calculates the amount of right fee for the licensee by calculating the sales information of the data for 3D printing and the right fee.

  With the configuration of the present invention, when the licensed 3D printing data is sold, the right holder such as a copyright fee can be received and the compensation can be obtained properly. it can.

  In the above-described invention, when the licensed content examination processing unit receives a non-disclosure request for information related to 3D printing data from a computer used by the licensee, the licensed content examination processing unit stores the request in the 3D printing data storage unit. The 3D printing data transaction system can be configured to change the information related to the 3D printing data to non-public.

  Once permission has been granted, there is a possibility that it will be modified without permission. In such a case, by executing the processing of the present invention, it can be excluded from the object of transaction, and the rights of the licensee can be protected.

  In the above-described invention, the licensed content storage unit stores information related to a user who is not permitted to use the content in association with the content to be licensed, and the 3D printing data registration processing unit includes: When the registration request for the 3D printing data of the licensed content is received from the computer used by the creator, the creator is stored in the licensed content storage unit and is not permitted to use the licensed content. If this is the case, a 3D printing data transaction system that does not accept registration of 3D printing data from a computer used by the creator can be configured.

  By configuring as in the present invention, it is possible to set users who are not permitted to use the content. By making this setting, it becomes impossible to register 3D printing data itself, so that the examination by the licensee is not required, and the burden on the licensee can be reduced.

  In the above-described invention, the licensed content storage unit stores information related to a user who is not permitted to use the content in association with the content to be licensed, and the 3D printing data registration processing unit includes: When the registration request for the 3D printing data of the licensed content is received from the computer used by the creator, the licensed content of the licensed content holder and the others stored in the licensed content storage unit are stored. 3D printing is performed by checking whether the creator is applicable to a user who is not permitted to use the licensed content, and if so, registration of 3D printing data is not accepted from the computer used by the creator. It can be configured like a data transaction system.

  In general, a user who is determined not to be permitted to use a certain content is determined not to be permitted to use other content managed by the licensee. For this reason, by configuring as in the present invention, if a user is registered as a user who is not permitted to use a certain content, the 3D printing data cannot be registered for other content of the licensee. This can greatly reduce the burden of examination by the licensee.

  In the above-described invention, when the 3D printing data registration processing unit accepts a registration request for 3D printing data consisting of a plurality of parts for one content, the 3D printing data registration processing unit uses the computer used by the creator for 3D printing of each part. The data is stored in the 3D printing data storage unit in association with the relevance identification information, and the licensed content examination processing unit sends an approval notification from the computer used by the licensee for the content consisting of the plurality of parts. When accepted, it can be configured as a data transaction system for 3D printing that allows a part of or all of the 3D printing data of each part associated by the relevance identification information to be disclosed and traded.

  Further, in the above-described invention, when the 3D printing data registration processing unit receives a registration request for 3D printing data from the plurality of parts, the 3D printing data registration processing unit receives an entire image of the content combining the parts, and The licensed content examination processing unit stores the entire image stored in the 3D printing data storage unit for the content made up of the plurality of parts in association with the identification information. It can be configured as a 3D printing data transaction system in which the 3D printing data of each part associated with the relevance identification information of the whole image is examined by sending to the computer used by the right holder. .

  When creating a modeled object based on 3D printing data, the size of the modeled object is usually limited to a size that can be output by a 3D printer. Therefore, when it is desired to create a large model with a 3D printer, it cannot be created. Therefore, it is possible to disassemble a modeled object into a plurality of parts, create a modeled object for each part with a 3D printer using 3D printing data for each part, and combine these modeled objects into a large modeled object. Conceivable. In addition, when it is desired to add color to a modeled object created by a 3D printer, if it is created as a single modeled object as a whole, a portion that is difficult to paint will appear. Therefore, in the same way as described above, a 3D printer is used to create a model of each part using 3D printing data that has been broken down into multiple parts, and after each part is colored, the parts are combined into a single model. Can be considered.

  In this way, based on 3D printing data for each part instead of a single 3D printing data as in the case of making a large modeling object with a 3D printer, or when applying a beautiful color to a modeling object. Therefore, there is a demand for creating a modeled part of a part with a 3D printer and combining the modeled objects.

  However, when reviewing 3D printing data units, if the 3D printing data that has been disassembled for each of the above-mentioned parts of the licensed content is reviewed, the screening becomes complicated or the entire combination of parts is It is assumed that you cannot imagine.

  Therefore, by configuring as in these inventions, it is possible to associate each part with one content, and when it is approved as a result of the examination, it can be made public and tradeable. Furthermore, since the licensee can confirm the entire image in which each part is combined at the time of the examination, the examination can be performed while imagining the whole, and the complexity of the examination can be eliminated.

  In the above-mentioned invention, the management computer receives a purchase request for 3D printing data from a computer used by a purchaser who desires to purchase 3D printing data, and stores the 3D printing data in the 3D printing data storage unit. The present invention can be configured as a 3D printing data transaction system further comprising a 3D printing data purchase processing unit for downloading data.

  As a transaction form of data for 3D printing, processing by download as in the present invention is preferable.

  Even when configured as in the present invention, the same technical effect as in the first invention can be obtained. That is, the 3D printing data transaction system performs a 3D printing data registration processing unit that receives information related to the 3D printing data from a computer used by the creator of the 3D printing data, and a screening process related to the content usage permission. A licensed content examination processing unit, and the licensed content examination processing unit accepts information about the 3D printing data and then accepts the received 3D to the licensee of the content to be used. When a review request for print data is notified, and when a notice of approval is received from a computer used by the licensee, a part or all of the information regarding the received 3D print data can be disclosed and traded, When a notice of disapproval is received from the computer used by the licensee, the received 3D printing data is received. Exclude information relating to data from the target of the transaction as private, a 3D print data transaction system.

  The first invention can be realized by causing the computer to read the program of the present invention. That is, a 3D printing data storage unit that receives information related to 3D printing data including 3D printing data from a computer used by a creator of 3D printing data, and stores the information related to the 3D printing data. 3D printing data registration processing unit to be stored in the storage device, and a licensed content storage for receiving information related to the content subject to use permission from a computer used by the content licensee and storing information related to the content subject to use permission A data transaction program for 3D printing that functions as a licensed content registration processing unit to be stored in a copy unit and a licensed content review processing unit that performs a screening process related to the license of the content, and is accepted from a computer used by the creator 3D printing data Information is stored in the data storage unit for 3D printing, and when the received 3D printing data is original content, it can be disclosed and traded, and when the received 3D printing data is licensed content Is a data transaction program for 3D printing, which can be disclosed and traded after receiving an approval notification from the content licensee.

  Further, even when the program of the present invention is read by a computer, the same technical effect as that of the first invention can be obtained. That is, the management computer uses a 3D printing data registration processing unit that receives information related to the 3D printing data from a computer used by the creator of the 3D printing data, and a licensed content screening process that performs a screening process related to content usage permission. A data transaction program for 3D printing that functions as a copy unit, wherein the licensed content examination processing unit accepts information regarding the license for the content to be used after receiving information related to the data for 3D printing. When a review request for 3D printing data is notified and an approval notification is received from the computer used by the licensee, a part or all of the information related to the received 3D printing data can be disclosed and traded. When a notice of disapproval is received from the computer used by the licensee, Exclude information about the serial 3D printing data received from the target of the transaction as a private, it is a 3D printing for data transaction program.

  By using the 3D printing data transaction system of the present invention, it is possible to efficiently manage copyrights and commercialization rights, and to realize a transaction system that can smoothly trade 3D printing data such as figures. .

  An example of an overall conceptual diagram of the 3D printing data transaction system 1 of the present invention is schematically shown in FIG. In the 3D printing data transaction system 1, a management server that is a computer for providing a place for trading 3D printing data, a purchaser terminal 3 used by a person who purchases 3D printing data, and 3D printing data A license holder terminal 4 used by a person (including a corporation or an individual) who has a right to use the content used in the above and a creator terminal 5 used by a person who creates 3D printing data are used.

  The management server is realized by various computers such as a server and a personal computer. FIG. 2 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the computer. A computer such as the management computer 2 includes an arithmetic device 70 such as a CPU for executing arithmetic processing of a program, a storage device 71 such as a RAM and a hard disk for storing information, a display device 72 such as a display, a keyboard and a pointing device ( An input device 73 such as a mouse or a numeric keypad, and a communication device 74 that transmits and receives processing results of the arithmetic device 70 and information stored in the storage device 71 via a network such as the Internet or a LAN.

  Although FIG. 1 shows a case where the management computer 2 is realized by a single computer, the functions may be distributed and arranged in a plurality of computers. In addition, each means in the present invention is only logically distinguished in function, and may be physically or virtually the same area.

  The processing units and storage units in the present invention are only logically distinguished from each other in function, and may be physically or practically the same area. Needless to say, a data file may be used instead of the database, and the description of the database includes the data file.

  The management computer 2 includes a user registration processing unit 20, a user information storage unit 21, a licensed content registration processing unit 22, a licensed content storage unit 23, a 3D printing data registration processing unit 24, a 3D printing data storage unit 25, and a 3D. A printing data purchase processing unit 26 and a licensed content examination processing unit 27 are included.

  The user registration processing unit 20 registers, as a user, a user who also serves as one or more of a purchaser of 3D printing data, a licensee who has permission to use content, and a creator of 3D printing data. Execute the process. In addition, when a new user registration process is performed, a profile setting process, which is user attribute information, is executed.

  The user information storage unit 21 stores information about the user. For example, in addition to attribute information such as user identification information, name, handle name (name indicating the user on the website), age, date of birth, bank account information to be transferred, etc., the user purchased as a purchaser Purchase (download) history of 3D printing data, registration history of 3D printing data registered (uploaded) by the user as a creator, history of content licensed by the user as a licensee, and 3D printing data for licensed content A license history is stored. If the user selects the purchaser, creator, and licensee in advance, only information corresponding to the purchaser, creator, and licensee should be stored.

  The licensed content registration processing unit 22 has a user who is a licensee of the content has permission to use the copyright or commercialization rights for the content such as a character, and creates 3D printing data. When the user is allowed to create 3D printing data using the content, the licensed content registration process is performed. In the process of registering the licensed content, the identification information of the user who is the licensee, the image information of the target content (content image information), the character name of the content, the work name, the fee, the description of the content, 3D Input from the licensee terminal 4 is input of detailed information such as items that are prohibited in the creation of print data, and information relating to public settings such as age restrictions and license deadlines.

  The licensed content storage unit 23 corresponds to the content image, detailed information, and public setting information received by the licensed content registration processing unit 22 from the licensed user terminal 4 as well as identification information of the user who is the licensed user. I remember it.

  The 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 executes a process in which the user (creator) who created the 3D printing data registers (uploads) the created 3D printing data. At this time, the created user identification information, 3D printing data title, 3D printing data, sales price, description about 3D printing data, category, 3D printing data image information (3D printing data image information) ), Etc., and other information such as license information and age restriction information are received from the creator terminal 5.

  In addition to the information received from the creator terminal 5 by the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24, the 3D printing data storage unit 25 also displays the status of the 3D printing data (“public”, “private”, “waiting for examination”). And the identification information of the user who is the creator are stored in association with each other.

  When the 3D printing data purchase processing unit 26 receives a 3D printing data display request from the purchaser terminal 3, the 3D printing data purchase processing unit 26 is set as being public among the 3D printing data stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25. The 3D printing data that is available to the user (purchaser) can be selected by extracting the displayed 3D printing data and displaying it on the purchaser terminal 3. When a purchase request for 3D printing data is received from the purchaser terminal 3, 3D printing data purchase processing is executed. Then, the purchased 3D printing data is downloaded to the purchaser terminal 3.

  When the user who is the creator registers (uploads) the data for 3D printing, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 is not the original content, and if the permission of the content licensee is required, the content licensee In addition, a screening process is executed as to whether or not the uploaded 3D printing data may be disclosed.

  Next, the processing process of the data transaction system 1 for 3D printing according to the present invention will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  When using the 3D printing data transaction system 1 of the present invention, it is necessary to register in advance. Therefore, a user who desires to use the user accesses the 3D printing data transaction system 1 by a predetermined method from a computer operated by the user (purchaser terminal 3, licensee terminal 4, creator terminal 5). Display the top page screen shown in. Then, “new user registration” is selected from the top page. When this selection is accepted (S100), a new registration user name (user ID) and password input screen are displayed as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 10, after the user inputs his / her user name and password and selects to agree to the terms of use and then presses “Register”, the user operates the user name and password as user information. The information is sent from the computer to the management computer 2 and accepted by the user registration processing unit 20 (S120). When the user name and password are received by the user registration processing unit 20, the information is temporarily stored in the user information storage unit 21. Here, the user name is an e-mail address, but any other input may be accepted. In that case, an input of an e-mail address is further accepted as user information.

  Also, the user registration processing unit 20 transmits an e-mail with a registration URL for confirming whether or not the user has actually performed an operation to the e-mail address that is the user name that accepted the input. (S130). Then, the user who has received the e-mail selects a registration URL in the e-mail (S140), and the management computer 2 is notified that the user has performed the registration completion operation. Accepted by the processing unit 20. Accordingly, the user registration processing unit 20 stores the user name and password temporarily stored in the user information storage unit 21 as a regular user (S150). If the notification is not received by the user registration processing unit 20 within a predetermined time from the transmission of the e-mail with the registration URL, the user registered in S120 and temporarily stored in the user information storage unit 21 It is preferable to delete the name and password.

  By executing the processing as described above, new user registration processing can be executed.

  In the new user registration process, the user is only registered as a user, and the profile setting process is further executed. That is, when user registration is not performed (S210), the above-described new registration process is executed to perform new registration. On the other hand, if the user is registered (S210), “Login” is selected from the top page (FIG. 9), and the login process is executed (S220). That is, when the authentication information such as the user name and the password is input from the login screen shown in FIG. 11 and the authentication information is input from the computer used by the user, the management computer 2 stores the authentication information in the user information storage unit 21. It is determined whether or not the authentication information matches, and if they match, the My Page screen (web page for the user) shown in FIG. 12 is displayed (S220). On the other hand, if the authentication information does not match, an error or the like is displayed.

  Then, by accepting selection of “profile setting” in My Page, a screen for inputting a profile shown in FIG. 13 is displayed. In this profile, in addition to the publicly available profile information such as the user's nickname handle name and profile comments, name and company name, date of birth, postal code, address, telephone number, bank transfer information as identity verification information Information such as a financial institution name, a branch, an account type, an account number, an account name, a delivery setting indicating whether or not to receive an e-mail magazine or an e-mail.

  When the user inputs a public profile displayed on the profile setting screen shown in FIG. 13, each person's personal information, transfer information, etc. and presses “change” or the like, the information is received from the computer used by the user. Sent to the user registration processing unit 20 (S240) and stored in the user information storage unit 21.

  The profile setting process can be executed by the process as described above.

  Next, a licensed content registration process will be described in which a licensee who has a licensing right such as a copyright or a merchandising right for content such as a character is registered as a user.

  When a licensed user registers licensed content, a login process is executed by performing a predetermined operation from the computer (licensed rights terminal 4) to be used (S310). That is, the license holder terminal 4 accesses the top page screen shown in FIG. 9 and selects “Login” to display the login screen shown in FIG. Then, input authentication information such as user name and password on the login screen. The input authentication information is received by the management computer 2 and it is determined whether or not it matches the authentication information stored in the user information storage unit 21. If they match, the My Page screen shown in FIG. 12 is displayed.

  When “content holder” on the My Page screen is selected, a pull-down menu is displayed (FIG. 14), from which “Register Licensed Content” is selected. When this selection is made, a request for registration processing of licensed content is sent from the licensee terminal 4 to the management computer 2 and accepted by the licensed content registration processing unit 22 of the management computer 2.

  Then, the licensed content registration processing unit 22 sends and displays the licensed content registration screen shown in FIG. 15 to the license holder terminal 4 (S320). Then, the licensee uploads the content image (S330), inputs the details of the content (S340), and inputs the content publication setting according to the description on the licensed content registration screen displayed on the licensee terminal 4 (S350). When “Publish” is selected, the entered content details and content publication setting information are sent from the licensee terminal 4 to the management computer 2 and uploaded by the licensed content registration processing unit 22 of the management computer 2. Each information of image, content details, and content release setting is received (S360).

  The licensed content registration processing unit 22 stores the received information in the licensed content storage unit 23 in association with the identification information of the user who is the licensee. Thus, according to the content publishing setting, it can be disclosed to each user that the content is subject to use permission.

  The above-described content image is a two-dimensional image of content to be licensed, and includes, for example, a front view of a character. In addition, the content details include the license name, work title, copyright, merchandising rights, and other fees for sales when the creator creates the 3D print data and sells it. There are explanations about the contents, prohibited matters regarding the creation of 3D printing data, such as no modification that destroys the original image. Further, the content publication setting is a range for publishing permission to use the content, and includes age restriction, permission deadline, and the like. For example, if “no restriction” is set as the age limit, it is made public to users of all ages, and if “18 years old or older” is set, it is made public only to users age 18 or older. In addition, the term of permission is the time limit for licensing the content. For example, if “1 month” is set, the setting is changed to a setting that is not disclosed in the licensed content storage unit 23 after one month has passed since the release.

  With the above processing, the licensed content registration processing can be performed.

  Next, processing when the creator who created the 3D printing data registers the created 3D printing data in the 3D printing data transaction system 1 for the transaction will be described.

  When the user who is the creator of the 3D printing data registers the created 3D printing data, a login process is executed by performing a predetermined operation from the computer to be used (creator terminal 5) (S410). That is, the creator terminal 5 accesses the top page screen shown in FIG. 9 and selects “Login” to display the login screen shown in FIG. Then, input authentication information such as user name and password on the login screen. The input authentication information is received by the management computer 2 and it is determined whether or not it matches the authentication information stored in the user information storage unit 21. If they match, the My Page screen shown in FIG. 12 is displayed.

  Then, a pull-down menu is displayed by selecting “3D Data Posting and Management” on the My Page screen (FIG. 16), and the creator user determines whether the 3D printing data to be registered is based on the original content. It is determined whether the content is based on the licensed content (S420), and in the case of original content such as a character created by itself, “posting of“ original content ”3D data” is selected. On the other hand, in the case of a licensed content, “contributed license content” 3D data posting ”is selected. The 3D data of the original content is data for 3D printing that has been created for content that the user has rights to, such as characters, when creating the data for 3D printing. The licensed content 3D data is data for 3D printing created for content registered as licensed content.

  When “posting of“ original content ”3D data” is selected, when the selection is made, a request for registration of data for 3D printing of the original content is sent from the creator terminal 5 to the management computer 2, which is sent to the management computer 2. 2 is received by the data registration processing unit 24 for 3D printing.

  Then, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 sends and displays the 3D printing data registration screen with the original content shown in FIG. 17 to the creator terminal 5 (S430). Then, the creator inputs information related to 3D printing data in accordance with the description on the 3D printing data registration screen based on the original content displayed on the creator terminal 5 (S440). That is, the 3D printing data to be registered is uploaded (S4401), the 3D printing data image information (two-dimensional image information based on the 3D printing data) is uploaded (S4402), and the details of the 3D printing data are input. (S4403), and input of 3D data disclosure setting information (S4404). When “Publish” is selected, the details of the input 3D data and each information of the public setting are sent from the creator terminal 5 to the management computer 2 and uploaded by the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 of the management computer 2. Each information of 3D printing data, 3D printing data image information, details of 3D printing data, and public setting is received (S450).

  The 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 stores the received information in the 3D printing data storage unit 25. Accordingly, the 3D printing data is disclosed to each user according to the 3D printing data disclosure setting (S460). In addition, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 changes the status of the 3D printing data stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 to “public” (S470).

  On the other hand, if “posting of“ usage licensed content ”3D data” is selected in S420, when the selection is made, a registration request for 3D printing data of the licensed content is sent from the creator terminal 5 to the management computer 2. It is received by the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 of the management computer 2.

  Then, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 sends a selection screen for a character (content) to be used shown in FIG. 18 to the creator terminal 5 and receives a selection of the character to be used from the creator terminal 5 ( S480). At this time, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24, among the contents to be licensed stored in the licensed content storage unit 23, the public setting satisfies the age and permission period of the user. The content is specified, and information corresponding to the content is extracted from the licensed content storage unit 23 and displayed on the selection screen. Then, the creator selects the content that is the basis of the 3D printing data created by the creator terminal 5 from the creator terminal 5, and selects “Confirm details and post 3D printing data”. The selection request is sent from the creator terminal 5 to the management computer 2.

  When the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 of the management computer 2 receives the selection request, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 sends the detailed information of the selected licensed content and the information of the public setting to the licensed content storage unit. 23, and the registration screen for 3D printing data based on the licensed contents shown in FIG. 19 is displayed on the creator terminal 5 (S490).

  The creator inputs information related to the 3D printing data in accordance with the description of the 3D printing data registration screen using the licensed content displayed on the creator terminal 5 (S500). That is, the 3D printing data to be registered is uploaded (S5001), the 3D printing data image information is uploaded (S5002), the detailed information of the 3D printing data is input (S5003), and the 3D data disclosure setting is made. Is input (S5004). When “Request Review” is selected (S510), the details of the input 3D data, each information of the public setting and the request for review are sent from the creator terminal 5 to the management computer 2, and the 3D of the management computer 2 is sent. The 3D printing data uploaded by the printing data registration processing unit 24, the 3D printing data image information, the details of the 3D data, each information of the public setting, and the request for examination are received (S510).

  The 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 stores the received information in the 3D printing data storage unit 25. Then, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 registers the status as “under review” for each piece of information of the received 3D printing data, and causes the licensed content screening processing unit 27 to execute the licensed content screening process. (S520).

  In the licensed content review process, the licensed content review processing unit 27 sends an e-mail address such as a user name to the user who registered the content stored in the licensed content storage unit 23 for the content selected in S480. Based on the above, an e-mail requesting examination is notified (S610). FIG. 20 schematically shows an example of an examination request e-mail.

  The license holder who receives the notification of the request at the license holder terminal 4 executes a login process by performing a predetermined operation from the computer to be used (license holder terminal 4) (S620). That is, the license holder terminal 4 accesses the top page screen shown in FIG. 9 and selects “Login” to display the login screen shown in FIG. Then, input authentication information such as user name and password on the login screen. The input authentication information is received by the management computer 2 and it is determined whether or not it matches the authentication information stored in the user information storage unit 21. If they match, the My Page screen shown in FIG. 12 is displayed.

  Then, “3D data posting and management” on the My Page screen is selected to display a pull-down menu (FIG. 14), and the licensee selects “usable content list” from the pull-down menu. Then, this selection request is sent from the licensee terminal 4 to the management computer 2, and the licensed content examination processing unit 27 of the management computer 2 displays the licensed content associated with the user as the licensed content storage unit 23. And the licensed content list screen (FIG. 21) is displayed as a list (S630).

  When the licensee performs selection of “data for 3D printing in use” on the licensed content list screen at the licensee terminal 4, the selection request is sent from the licensee terminal 4 to the management computer 2 for management. The licensed content examination processing unit 27 of the computer 2 is a 3D printing data storage unit 25, a 3D printing data stored in the user information storage unit 21 and associated with the selected content, and a creator who has registered it. Information related to a certain user (3D printing data image information, title, sales price, handle name, posting date, etc.) is extracted, and the currently used 3D printing data list screen shown in FIG. 22 is displayed (S640). Then, after confirming the status, the 3D printing data that has been “waiting for examination” is examined by selecting “inspection” (S650). Specifically, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 extracts information on the selected 3D printing data stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 and information on the user stored in the user information storage unit 21. , The examination screen shown in FIG. 23 is displayed (S660).

  Although not displayed on the examination screen of FIG. 23, the 3D printing data can be downloaded by the licensee terminal 4 and the contents of the 3D printing data can be confirmed. A part of the examination screen may be provided with a function of reading 3D printing data and displaying it in 3D. Accordingly, it is possible to examine the suitability of the actual 3D printing data itself in addition to the 3D printing data image information obtained by two-dimensionalizing the 3D printing data registered by the creator.

  If the license holder approves the 3D printing data as a result of this examination (S670), a notification indicating that the license has been approved is managed from the license holder terminal 4 by selecting "Approve". It is sent to the computer 2 and accepted by the licensed content examination processing unit 27 of the management computer 2 (S680). Upon receiving this notification, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 sends an email indicating the approval shown in FIG. 24 to the creator (S690). In addition, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 changes the status of the 3D printing data stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 to “publishing” (S700), and makes it available to other users.

  On the other hand, if the license holder rejects (not approves) the 3D printing data as a result of the above examination (S670), a notification indicating that the data has not been approved is granted by selecting “Reject”. It is sent from the right holder terminal 4 to the management computer 2 and accepted by the licensed content examination processing unit 27 of the management computer 2 (S710). Upon receiving this notification, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 sends a notification indicating that the approval has not been made as shown in FIG. 25 to the creator by e-mail (S720). In addition, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 changes the status of the 3D printing data stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 to “disapproved” (S730), and is not disclosed to other users. State. Private means that it is not a search target even if another user searches.

  In S670, there are two choices of “approval” or “rejection (non-approval)”. However, depending on the 3D printing data, there are cases where the approval can be made if the points to be corrected are improved. In that case, in addition to the above, an option such as “Needs correction” may be provided. In this case, the licensee terminal 4 also accepts an input of a description of a correction portion indicating which point should be improved and how. When “requires correction” is selected on the licensee terminal 4, a notification that the selection has been made is sent to the management computer 2 together with the description of the correction portion, and the licensed content review of the management computer 2 is performed. The processing unit 27 transmits such information to the creator by e-mail or the like. Then, the user who has confirmed the e-mail confirms the information in the explanation, and if it is satisfactory, corrects the information and performs the processing after S410 again, so that the 3D printing data can be updated. The registration process may be performed and a reexamination may be requested. In this case, the registered information may be stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 and extracted to reduce the input burden.

  By executing the processing as described above, 3D printing data registration processing can be executed.

  Next, processing when purchasing the 3D printing data registered as described above will be described.

  When a user who is a purchaser who desires to purchase 3D printing data purchases 3D printing data registered in the 3D printing data transaction system 1, the user uses the computer (purchaser terminal 3). The login process is executed by performing a predetermined operation (S810). That is, the purchaser terminal 3 accesses the top page screen shown in FIG. 9 and selects “Login” to display the login screen shown in FIG. Then, input authentication information such as user name and password on the login screen. The input authentication information is received by the management computer 2 and it is determined whether or not it matches the authentication information stored in the user information storage unit 21. If they match, the My Page screen shown in FIG. 12 is displayed.

  Then, when the purchaser performs an operation to display the top page screen on the My Page screen, a request to display the top page screen (FIG. 26) after logging in is sent from the purchaser terminal 3 to the management computer 2. The 3D printing data purchase processing unit 26 receives the display request. The 3D printing data purchase processing unit 26, among the 3D printing data stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25, has a status of “publishing” (that is, a status of “unpublished” and “under review”). 3D printing data is not subject to extraction), 3D printing data that does not fall under age restrictions with reference to the purchaser's age (specified from the purchaser's date of birth information in user information storage unit 21) Is extracted, displayed on the top page screen after login, and displayed on the purchaser terminal 3 (S820).

  In the top page screen after login in FIG. 26, “Pickup 3D printing data”, “New arrival 3D printing data”, “Ranking”, and the like are displayed. “Pickup 3D printing data” is, for example, 3D printing data having a large number of browsing times, “New arrival 3D printing data” is newly registered 3D printing data, and “Ranking” has a large number of downloads (purchases). Data for 3D printing. The browsing information is stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 in association with the 3D printing data, the number of times the 3D printing data is selected, and the download number is the number of purchases of the 3D printing data. deep. Also, the new and old registration can be specified based on the registration date stored in association with the 3D printing data.

  When 3D printing data that can be purchased by the purchaser is displayed on the top page screen as described above, the purchaser selects the 3D printing data desired to be purchased. As a result of the selection, a request for displaying detailed information is sent from the purchaser terminal 3 to the management computer 2 and accepted by the 3D printing data purchase processing unit 26 of the management computer 2. When the 3D printing data purchase processing unit 26 receives a display request for detailed information of 3D printing data, the 3D printing data purchase processing unit 26 receives information such as detailed information about the detailed information of the selected 3D printing data. The detailed information screen of the 3D printing data shown in FIG. 27 is extracted from the 3D printing data storage unit 25 and transmitted to the purchaser terminal 3.

  When the detailed information screen for 3D printing data is displayed on the purchaser terminal 3 and “3D preview” is selected, a request for acquiring 3D printing data is sent to the management computer 2 for 3D printing by the management computer 2. The data purchase processing unit 26 acquires the 3D printing data in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 and sends it to the purchaser terminal 3. Then, a 3D preview is displayed on the purchaser terminal 3. Here, the 3D printing data sent to the purchaser terminal 3 is configured to be deleted after the display process is finished so as not to be stored in a cache or the like that is a temporary storage device 71 of the purchaser terminal 3. Good to have been. In addition, in the 3D printing data to be sent by the 3D preview, not all data may be sent, but data that has been partially deleted, or the data accuracy may be lowered. Further, the processing for performing the three-dimensional display of the data without sending the data itself may be performed on the management computer 2 and only the display may be performed on the purchaser terminal 3.

  When purchasing the 3D printing data by 3D preview or the like, if the purchaser selects “Purchase” at the purchaser terminal 3, a purchase request is sent from the purchaser terminal 3 to the management computer 2, and the purchase computer 2 The 3D printing data purchase processing unit 26 receives the request (S830). The 3D printing data purchase processing unit 26 performs a settlement process based on the purchase request (S840). In other words, the purchaser terminal 3 accepts input such as the credit card number of the user who is the purchaser and paypal account information. Further, the number of sales of the purchased 3D printing data is counted in the 3D printing data storage unit 25, and the sales date and time are stored. For example, if the sales price of purchased 3D printing data is 500 yen, a payment process of a 500 yen credit card is performed based on the credit card number of the user who is the purchaser, while sales are made to the purchased 3D printing data. 1 is counted as the number, and settlement processing of sales of 500 yen is performed.

  Then, the 3D printing data purchase processing unit 26 extracts the 3D printing data that is the target of the purchase request from the 3D printing data storage unit 25 and causes the purchaser terminal 3 to download the data (S850). Further, the 3D printing data purchase processing unit 26 stores and updates a purchase history indicating that the 3D printing data has been purchased as user information of the user who is a purchaser (S860), and the 3D printing data. Is stored in the user information storage unit 21 as user information of the user who is the creator.

  Since the purchaser receives the 3D printing data at the purchaser terminal 3, it is possible to generate a modeled object using a 3D printer or the like based on the 3D printing data.

  By performing the processing as described above, 3D printing data purchase processing can be executed.

  Further, at a predetermined timing or irregularly, the operator of the 3D printing data transaction system 1 gives the user the amount of purchased 3D printing data based on the sales information stored in the user information storage unit 21. Process to send money. At this time, it is possible to remit the amount excluding taxes and public charges, rights fees and system usage fees.

  Further, when the licensed content is sold, the 3D printing data storage unit 25 stores the license holder and the right fee of the corresponding content. Therefore, in the case of 3D printing data that has been licensed for licensed content that has been sold, the management computer 2 stores the sales (the number of purchases (downloads) × sales price or sales amount) stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25. ), The right fee set by the licensee is calculated by referring to the licensed content storage unit 23, and the amount of the right fee to be acquired by the licensee is calculated. Then, the management computer 2 identifies the license holder from the licensed content storage unit 23 and extracts the information of the bank account that is the transfer destination of the user who is the license holder and stores it in the user information storage unit 21. Then, the process of transferring money is executed.

  In each of the above processes, other alternative means such as a messaging tool may be used instead of e-mail.

  In addition to the above-mentioned embodiment, there is a possibility that 3D printing data registered without permission from the contents registered by the licensee may be registered without permission from the time of review. . In order to prevent such a case, a non-disclosure request is sent to the management computer 2 by selecting “Hide by Violation” from the currently used 3D printing data list screen shown in FIG. Upon receiving a non-disclosure request, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 of the management computer 2 changes the status of the 3D printing data in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 to “unpublished”.

  As a result, it is possible to prevent the 3D printing data that the license holder has determined to be inappropriate from being disclosed.

  Furthermore, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 stores in the licensed content storage unit 23 identification information of users who are not permitted to use (users whose “hidden by violation” is selected) are associated with the content. Let Then, in the 3D print data registration process, the following process is executed.

  First, in the process of S420 of the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 (FIG. 6), when “posting of“ usage-licensed content ”3D data” is selected, when the selection is made, the creator terminal 5 uses it. A request for registering 3D printing data of the licensed content is sent to the management computer 2 and accepted by the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 of the management computer 2.

  The 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 checks whether or not the user is included in the “user not permitted to use” stored in the licensed content storage unit 23 based on the user identification information. If the contents are not displayed, the “Check details and register 3D printing data” button is not displayed as shown in FIG. Thus, 3D printing data cannot be registered for the content.

  On the other hand, if the user is not included in the “users not permitted to use” stored in the licensed content storage unit 23, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 creates the data as shown in FIG. The selection screen of the character (content) to be used is sent to the creator terminal 5, and the selection of the character to be used is accepted from the creator terminal 5 (S480). At this time, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24, among the contents to be licensed stored in the licensed content storage unit 23, the public setting satisfies the age and permission period of the user. The content is specified, and information corresponding to the content is extracted from the licensed content storage unit 23 and displayed on the selection screen. Then, the creator selects the content that is the basis of the 3D printing data created by the creator terminal 5 from the creator terminal 5, and selects “Confirm details and post 3D printing data”. The selection request is sent from the creator terminal 5 to the management computer 2.

  In FIG. 28, the process is such that the user cannot register the 3D printing data using the licensed content for each content. However, if the user is not permitted to use a certain content, the license holder is in charge of other content. In general, it is said that use is not permitted. Therefore, the 3D printing data may not be registered for all the contents that are registered as licenses by the user who registered the licensed contents. In this case, based on the user identification information, whether or not the user is included in the “users who are not permitted to use” of all the contents of the user who is the license holder stored in the licensed content storage unit 23. The screens shown in FIGS. 18 and 28 may be displayed in S480.

  With the above processing, it is possible to prevent re-registration even if a hidden user tries to register 3D printing data again using the same content.

  Further, by selecting “Hide by violation” from the list screen in FIG. 22, in addition to prohibiting the use of the user from the content, the user itself may be registered as “Hide by violation”. . In this case, “users using content” is selected from the screen of FIG. 21, and the list screen of users using content shown in FIG. 29 is displayed. When “reject usage due to violation” is selected, the selected user (the user who registered the licensed content) registers the user identification information of the selected user in the licensed content storage unit 23. Add to the "Users not allowed to use" of all licensed content.

  As a result, all the licensed contents of the user who registered the licensed content can be registered as users who are not permitted to use the licensed content.

  Through the processing as described above, it is possible to refuse the registration processing of the 3D printing data for the user who is not preferable to the user who is the licensee.

  As another embodiment of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, a case will be described in which a plurality of 3D printing data are collectively reviewed for licensed content.

  When creating a modeled object based on 3D printing data, the size of the modeled object is usually limited to a size that can be output by a 3D printer. Therefore, when it is desired to create a large model with a 3D printer, it cannot be created. Therefore, it is possible to disassemble a modeled object into a plurality of parts, create a modeled object for each part with a 3D printer using 3D printing data for each part, and combine these modeled objects into a large modeled object. Conceivable.

  In addition, when it is desired to add color to a modeled object created by a 3D printer, if it is created as a single modeled object as a whole, a portion that is difficult to paint will appear. Therefore, in the same way as described above, a 3D printer is used to create a model of each part using 3D printing data that has been broken down into multiple parts, and after each part is colored, the parts are combined into a single model. Can be considered.

  In this way, based on 3D printing data for each part instead of a single 3D printing data as in the case of making a large modeling object with a 3D printer, or when applying a beautiful color to a modeling object. Therefore, there is a demand for creating a modeled part of a part with a 3D printer and combining the modeled objects.

  However, when reviewing 3D printing data units, if the 3D printing data that has been disassembled for each of the above-mentioned parts of the licensed content is reviewed, the screening becomes complicated or the entire combination of parts is It is assumed that you cannot imagine. Therefore, in this embodiment, a case will be described in which one examination can be performed as a whole by combining each part, not for each part.

  In the following description, the case of each 3D printing data consisting of five parts of the head, the torso, the right arm, the left arm, the right leg, and the left leg will be described for the licensed character XXX.

  First, a case will be described in which the creator associates the data for 3D printing of the above-described five parts and registers them in the management computer 2 from the creator terminal 5.

  The creator performs login processing and my page display processing by appropriately operating the creator terminal 4 similarly to the above-described embodiment. Then, when “posting of“ licensed content ”3D data” is selected on the My Page screen, when the selection is made, the registration request for 3D printing data of the licensed content from the creator terminal 5 is sent to the management computer. 2 is received by the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 of the management computer 2 (S420).

  Then, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 sends a selection screen of a character (content) to be used shown in FIG. 18 to the creator terminal 5 and receives a selection of the character to be used from the creator terminal 5. (S480). At this time, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24, among the contents to be licensed stored in the licensed content storage unit 23, the public setting satisfies the age and permission period of the user. The content is specified, and information corresponding to the content is extracted from the licensed content storage unit 23 and displayed on the selection screen. Then, the creator selects the content that is the source of the 3D printing data created by the creator terminal 5 and selects “here for multiple parts” to create the selection request. From the user terminal 5 to the management computer 2.

  When the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 of the management computer 2 receives the selection request, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 sends the detailed information of the selected licensed content and the information of the public setting to the licensed content storage unit. 23, and the registration screen for 3D printing data based on the licensed contents shown in FIG. 30 is displayed on the creator terminal 5 (S490).

  On the screen as shown in FIG. 30, the 3D printing data of a plurality of parts can be uploaded as a group for one licensed content (S500). That is, first, as a 3D printing data registration screen, a screen for uploading 3D printing data of each part and 3D printing data image information of the part is displayed. Here, the creator uploads 3D printing data of each part of the head, torso, right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg and 3D printing data image information of each part from the creator terminal 4 from the screen. (S5001, S5002), the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 receives the information and stores it in the 3D printing data storage unit. At this time, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 performs 3D printing for each part of the head, the torso, the right arm, the left arm, the right leg, and the left leg associated with the character “XXX” that is the licensed content. 3D printing with a flag and identification information (hereinafter referred to as “relevance identification information”) indicating that the data is 3D printing data associated with one licensed content. The data is stored in the data storage unit 25. The same relevance identification information is attached to the 3D printing data image information, and is stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25.

  When the upload processing of 3D printing data and 3D printing data image information of all the parts is performed as described above, next, as shown in FIG. 3D printing data registration screen for inputting detailed information of 3D printing data and 3D data disclosure setting information is displayed and registered (S5003, S5004). The image information in a state where the parts are combined may be one or more two-dimensional images showing the entire combination of the parts from one or a plurality of viewpoints, or may be a three-dimensional image. In the above example, register 2D or 3D images from one or more viewpoints of the character “XXX” created by combining the head, body, right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg parts. Will be.

  The whole image, the detailed information of the 3D printing data, and the information on the 3D data disclosure setting, all of which are input to the relevance identification information associated with the registration of the 3D printing data of each part, are similarly used. The data is stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 in association with each other.

  When the creator selects “Request examination” on the creator terminal 5 (S510), the details of the input 3D data, each information of the public setting, and the request for examination request are sent from the creator terminal 5 to the management computer 2. The 3D printing data, the 3D printing data image information, the details of the 3D printing data, the details of the 3D printing data, the public setting information, and the request for examination request sent by the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 of the management computer 2 are sent. Accept (S510).

  For the 3D printing data of the head, torso, right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg parts, the 3D printing data registration processing unit 24 stores the statuses in the “3D printing data storage unit 25”. Registration as “medium” is the same as in the above embodiments. Then, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 causes the licensed content examination process to be executed in the same manner as in S520.

  In the licensed content review process, the licensed content review processing unit 27 sends an e-mail address such as a user name to the user who registered the content stored in the licensed content storage unit 23 for the content selected in S480. Based on the above, an e-mail requesting examination is notified (S610). At this time, it is only necessary to notify one e-mail for the 3D printing data with the relevance identification information, instead of notifying the e-mail of the examination request for the 3D printing data for each part.

  The license holder who has received the notification of the request at the license holder terminal 4 performs a login process by performing a predetermined operation from the license holder terminal 4 (S620), executes a predetermined authentication process, and then executes My Page. Display the screen. In the same manner as in the first and second embodiments, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 moves the licensed content associated with the user from the licensed content 23 by an operation from the licensee terminal 4. The extracted licensed content list screen shown in FIG. 21 is displayed as a list of the list (S630).

  When the licensee performs selection of “data for 3D printing in use” on the licensed content list screen at the licensee terminal 4, the selection request is sent from the licensee terminal 4 to the management computer 2 for management. The licensed content examination processing unit 27 of the computer 2 is the 3D printing data stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 and the user information storage unit 21 and associated with the content to be selected, and the creator who has registered it. Information related to the user (3D print data image, title, sales price, handle name, posting date, etc.) is extracted and the 3D print data list screen shown in FIG. 32 is displayed (S640). Here, as the 3D print data image displayed on the 3D print data list screen, it is preferable to display the entire image instead of the 3D print data image for each of the plurality of parts. Then, after confirming the status, the 3D printing data that is “waiting for examination” is selected by selecting “inspect”, and the 3D printing data is examined (S650). Specifically, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 stores in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 information related to all the selected 3D printing data related by the relevance identification information, the user information storage unit The information about the user stored in the screen is extracted and the examination screen shown in FIG. 33 is displayed (S660).

  In the examination screen displayed in S660, not only the 3D printing data image of each part but also the entire image in which the parts are combined may be displayed as the main image. As a result, the licensee can recognize and examine the character “XXX” combined for each part, not the examination for each part.

  If the license holder approves the 3D printing data as a result of this examination (S670), a notification indicating that the license has been approved is managed from the license holder terminal 4 by selecting "Approve". It is sent to the computer 2 and accepted by the licensed content examination processing unit 27 of the management computer 2 (S680). Upon receiving this notification, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 sends a notification indicating approval to the creator by electronic mail (S690). In addition, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 changes the status of all 3D printing data stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 and associated with the relevance identification information to “publishing” (S700). Open to other users.

  On the other hand, if the license holder rejects (not approves) the 3D printing data as a result of the above examination (S670), a notification indicating that the data has not been approved is granted by selecting “Reject”. It is sent from the right holder terminal 4 to the management computer 2 and accepted by the licensed content examination processing unit 27 of the management computer 2 (S710). Upon receiving this notification, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 sends a notification indicating that the approval has not been made to the creator by e-mail (S720). In addition, the licensed content examination processing unit 27 changes the status of all 3D printing data stored in the 3D printing data storage unit 25 and associated by the relevance identification information to “not approved” (S730), It is set in a non-public state that is not open to other users.

  By executing the processing as described above, if the modeled object is composed of a plurality of parts and there is data for 3D printing for each part, it is possible to examine them collectively. For example, in the above example, one character XXX is not examined for each of the five parts of the head, torso, right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg, but as a single character as a whole. By doing so, it becomes possible to process all five related parts, and the examination burden for the licensee can be significantly reduced.

  When one character is composed of a plurality of parts as in the present embodiment, the 3D printing data of all the parts associated by the relevance identification information is also obtained in the 3D printing data purchase process. It can also be processed as a single character. For example, on the top page screen shown in FIG. 26 and the detailed information screen for 3D printing data shown in FIG. 27, the entire image may be displayed in addition to the 3D printing data image of each part. In addition, the 3D printing data purchase processing unit may perform purchase and download processing in units of relevance identification information so that parts associated with the relevance identification information can be purchased and downloaded together.

  By using the 3D printing data transaction system 1 of the present invention, it is possible to efficiently manage copyrights and merchandising rights, and realize a transaction system that can smoothly trade 3D printing data such as figures. it can.
