Description of the Related Art As a first method for delivering conventional image material, the image material is digitized by a sophistication of a communication network such as a local area network (LAN) and the demand for personal computers is expanded, and a CD-ROM or a communication means is used. There is a way to sell through. However, according to these methods, since the original of the video material can be faithfully reproduced, there is a problem that the quality of the intellectual property such as copyright and portrait right contained in the original is reproduced without deterioration. Contains.

As a technique for preventing the duplication of such a video material, security processing such as copy protection, key protection, and mosaic is applied to an image for which an intellectual property right has occurred, and the image is purchased on the sales side. There is a method of managing users and a method of preventing illegal copying by restricting the usage of video materials by users.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional method, when the user who is using the image sees the security-processed image, if the process such as mosaic is performed, the outline of the image is confirmed. It is difficult to do so, and it is not possible to grasp what the video material data looks like. Therefore, when applying for the data acquisition, selection / judgment cannot be made.

Further, in the case of the protected material, the image cannot be viewed until the video material is restored by receiving a security unlocking key from the seller side. Therefore, conventionally, there is a problem in that it is very difficult to grasp a rough state and status of an image to be protected by copyright and portrait right.

[0006] Further, in the conventional method of delivering video material, in many cases, the video material is delivered with all intellectual property purchased or all licensed. But,
The number of video materials that can receive all intellectual property is limited. For example, if there is a portion where the portraits of A talent and B talent appear at the same time in the scene of the video material, if the permission of A talent is obtained, but if B talent does not permit, it becomes difficult to use this video material. .

As described above, the conventional method has a problem that the right cannot be individually set for an image having a plurality of copyrights and portrait rights in one screen. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is possible to protect intellectual property, and when a user of a video material duplicates the video material without permission, the quality of the video including the intellectual property such as portrait right.
