The information processing device 1 acquires tokens for the components E1 and E2. A token is associated with a holder who has rights to a component, and applicable content applied to the component or a method of obtaining the same (for example, a URI (Universal Resource Identifier) for obtaining applicable content).

The information processing device 1 acquires the applicable content based on the acquired token. In the example of FIG. 1, the character string "C" is acquired as the applied content to be applied to the component E1, and the character string "D" is acquired as the applied content to be applied to the component E2. The information processing device 1 applies the acquired application content to the constituent elements in the first content. In the example of FIG. 1, the second content (S2) is generated by inserting the character strings (“C” and “D”) acquired as the applicable content into the locations (E1 and E2) indicated by the constituent elements.

The information processing device 1 further assigns the right to apply the applied content to the constituent elements forming part of the first content to the investor who invested in the production of the first content, and the investor to whom the constituent elements are assigned. issue a token to prove the authenticity of The information processing device 1 is also connected to a marketplace for trading issued tokens. Further, the information processing device 1 is, for example, a server. Hereinafter, a person who originally acquired a token is specifically referred to as an investor, and a person associated with the token as a holder of the issued token is referred to as a "holder". Investors and holders may be the same. Investors and holders may be natural persons or legal persons.

The content server 2 stores the first content and the applied content, and transmits the first content and the applied content in response to requests obtained from the information processing device 1 . Blockchain B is a platform for recording tokens using blockchain. Blockchain B consists of multiple nodes participating in the blockchain, and each node owns a distributed ledger that records the creation, modification, or deletion of tokens.

[Configuration of information processing device 1]
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the information processing device 1. As shown in FIG. The information processing device 1 has a communication section 11 , a storage section 12 and a control section 13 . The control unit 13 has an allocation unit 131 , an issue instruction unit 132 , an applicable content acquisition unit 133 , a generation unit 134 , an acquisition unit 135 , a reception unit 136 and a transfer instruction unit 137 .

The communication unit 11 is a communication interface for transmitting and receiving data to and from other devices via a network. The storage unit 12 is a storage medium including ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), SSD (Solid State Drive), hard disk drive, and the like. The storage unit 12 stores programs executed by the control unit 13 in advance.

The control unit 13 is a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), for example. By executing the programs stored in the storage unit 12, the control unit 13 executes the allocation unit 131, the issue instruction unit 132, the applicable content acquisition unit 133, the generation unit 134, the acquisition unit 135, the reception unit 136, and the transfer instruction unit 137. function as The control unit 13 may function as an issuing unit (not shown) that issues tokens.

The acquisition unit 135 acquires investment information. The allocating unit 131 allocates the constituent elements forming part of the first content to the investor who contributed to the production of the first content. The allocation unit 131 allocates the components of the first content to the investors included in the investment information acquired by the acquisition unit 135 . The details of the process by which the allocation unit 131 allocates the components will be described later.

The issuance instruction unit 132 instructs issuance of a token that associates an investor with component element identification information indicating a component in the first content assigned to the investor. The issuing instruction unit 132 may instruct the external device to issue the token, or may instruct the issuing unit that issues the token to issue the token. The issue instruction unit 132 causes the issued token to be recorded in the blockchain. As an example, the issuing instruction unit 132 transmits a recording instruction including the issued token to blockchain B, and causes blockchain B to record the issued token.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of an issued token. The token shown in FIG. 4 includes "token ID", "content ID", "component ID", "holder ID", "acquisition source URI", and "update date and time". "Token ID" is an ID for identifying a token. "Content ID" is an ID indicating the first content targeted by the token. The component ID is an ID indicating the component targeted by the token. “Holder ID” is an ID that indicates the holder of the rights to the component targeted by the token, and is, for example, an address given to a blockchain participant. The “acquisition destination URI” is a URI for acquiring the applicable content corresponding to the component targeted by the token. "Updated date and time" indicates the date and time when the token was issued or updated.

The applied content acquisition unit 133 acquires applied content to be applied to the component corresponding to the issued token. As an example, when the reception unit 136 acquires a generation request, the applicable content acquisition unit 133 blocks the content ID indicating the first content included in the generation request or the token corresponding to the token ID and the first content. Get from chain B. The applied content acquisition unit 133 accesses the resource indicated by the acquisition source URI included in the acquired token and acquires the applied content. If the information for acquiring the applied content contained in the token indicates that the token contains the applied content, the applied content acquisition unit 133 acquires the applied content contained in the token. good. The applied content may be stored in Blockchain B or may be stored in an external device. That is, the resource indicated by the acquisition source URI may indicate data stored in Blockchain B, or may indicate a resource stored in an external device.

The generation unit 134 generates the second content by applying the applied content acquired by the applied content acquisition unit 133 to the component indicated by the component identification information associated with the token. The generation unit 134 may insert the applied content acquired as described above into the location corresponding to the component, or may associate the applied content so that it is displayed or played at the location corresponding to the component. The generation unit 134 may transmit the generated second content to the information terminal that transmitted the generation request, or may store the second content in the storage unit 12 .

By configuring the information processing apparatus 1 in this manner, it is possible to provide an incentive to invest in content production.

The accepting unit 136 may authenticate the owner who sent the generation request. In this case, the storage unit 12 stores authentication information for authenticating the owner. As an example, when receiving the generation request, the reception unit 136 requests the information terminal that transmitted the generation request to transmit the authentication information, and the authentication information acquired from the information terminal is used as the authentication information stored in the storage unit 12. to verify that it matches When the authentication information acquired from the information terminal matches the authentication information stored in the storage unit 12, the information processing device 1 executes subsequent processing.

Processing of the allocation unit 131 will be described. The allocation unit 131 allocates components based on the investment details included in the investment information acquired by the acquisition unit 135 . As an example, the storage unit 12 stores an investment condition table that associates investment conditions with components to be allocated when the conditions are met. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of a contribution condition table stored in the storage unit 12. As shown in FIG. The contribution condition table shown in FIG. 5(a) includes "content ID", "component ID" and "contribution condition". "Content ID" and "component ID" indicate the content and component that the record is intended for. "Contribution conditions" is information indicating conditions for allocating components targeted by the record, and includes "investment amount" and "investment timing". "Investment amount" indicates a condition in terms of amount, and indicates that the component is allocated when investment information including an amount exceeding the condition is acquired. "Investment period" indicates the period for accepting investment information for allocating the component. The "contribution conditions" may further include information indicating the conditions of the investment method.

When the acquiring unit 135 acquires the investment information, the allocating unit 131 determines the investment information included in the acquired investment condition table stored in the storage unit 12 based on the amount of money included in the investment information and the time when the investment information is acquired. Allocate the component corresponding to the amount and timing of the contribution information to the contributor included in the contribution information.

FIG. 5(b) shows another configuration example of the contribution condition table. In the contribution condition table shown in FIG. 5(b), "appeal" is associated. "Appeal" is information indicating the degree of appeal of the component to viewers. For example, the appealing power is expressed as "A", "B", and "C" in descending order of appealing power. More stages may be set in the appeal power, and a plurality of components may be set in the same stage.

In this case, the assigning unit 131 may preferentially assign components with high appeal in descending order of investment amount included in the investment information among the one or more investment information acquired within a predetermined period.

By the way, the number of components included in the first content may be plural. In this case, the reception unit 136 acquires investment information for each of the multiple investors. The allocating unit 131 allocates at least one of the one or more constituent elements forming part of the first content to each of the one or more investors who invested in the production of the first content indicated by the acquired investment information. When the number of components is plural, the applicable content acquisition unit 133 acquires one or more applicable contents to be applied to each component corresponding to one or more issued tokens, and the generation unit 134 acquires one or more Content is generated by applying one or more applied contents acquired by the applied content acquiring unit 133 to each component indicated by the component identification information associated with the above token.

The information processing device 1 may be configured to receive the transfer of issued tokens and record the transfer of the tokens in the blockchain.

The accepting unit 136 accepts a token transfer instruction from a user associated with a token to another user. The reception unit 136 acquires the transfer instruction from the information terminal used by the token holder. The transfer instruction is information for instructing transfer of the token, and includes a token ID indicating the token to be transferred, a holder ID indicating the holder of the token, and a holder ID indicating the holder of the transfer destination. The transfer instruction may further include a reason for transferring the token. Reasons for transferring tokens include information indicating, for example, corporate mergers, inheritances, gifts, or sales.

When the receiving unit 136 receives a token transfer instruction, the transfer instruction unit 137 instructs association of the token with another user. That is, based on the transfer instruction acquired by the reception unit 136, the transfer instruction unit 137 records the token indicated by the token ID included in the transfer instruction in the block chain B in association with the holder ID of the transfer destination.

By configuring the information processing device 1 in this way, the value of the token can be improved by increasing the liquidity of the token, and the willingness of more investors to invest in the first content can be aroused. .
