<Description of the method>

A method for providing contents of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3, but with reference to FIGS.

1. Registration step <S301>

The copyrighted content is registered in the resource bank 110. When the content provider transmits the content through the content provider's terminal 120, the content is received and registered. Here, the content provider may be a copyright holder, a copyright holder, or a general person having a copyright. Such content may include music, photographs, videos, cartoons, characters, entertainer materials, and movies.

For example, a first content provider registers a picture of a celebrity OOO, whose content is copyrighted, by accessing an internet site of 'www.OOOOO.co.kr'. Here, the photograph of the entertainer OOO is registered by copyrighted second and third content providers, which makes it possible to have various contents.

2. Filtering step <S302>

In step S301, the copyright verification is performed on the content registered in step S301. In step S301, the content registered in order to be registered in the resource bank 110 is verified for copyright. This makes it possible to protect the rights and interests of the copyright holder by distributing only verified content.

For example, a number of content providers will upload photos of celebrity OOO on the website 'www.OOOOO.co.kr'. You can choose to build the database described below.

3. Hazard verification step <S303>

This is a harmfulness verification step in which verification of harmfulness is performed on the content registered in step S301, and the registration is completed by verifying the harmfulness. This makes it possible to protect the user from harmful content by distributing only the verified content as in step S302.

Since even copyrighted contents can be harmful contents, it is possible to construct a database to be described below by excluding such harmful contents.

4. Database construction phase <S304>

In step S302 and step S303, a database is constructed using the registered contents. In step S301, a database is constructed using the contents registered and verified in step S301. That is, a plurality of content providers corresponding to a copyright holder, a copyright holder, or a general individual having a copyright form a database of a number of contents such as music, photos, videos, etc. registered through the content provider's terminal 120. It is possible to organize and classify according to each category and personality so that developers can easily bring and use the content they want.

For example, if you build a database of photos of celebrity OOO who have been registered from a number of content providers and have been verified for copyright and verified for harmfulness, you can search only the photos you need on 'www.OOOOO.co.kr' site. By selectively using it, it can be usefully used in developing an application in a process to be described later.

5. Content providing step <S305>

Content providing step for providing the content necessary to develop the application using the content of the database built in step S304, the content required for the development of the application from the resource bank 110 to the terminal 130 of the developer developing the application To be provided.

For example, a developer accesses an internet site 'www.OOOOO.co.kr', which is a resource bank 110, through a developer's terminal 130, and selects an application from among a plurality of contents related to celebrity OOO built in a database. Search for the contents required for development so that only the selected picture is sent to the user's terminal.

This makes it possible for an individual to develop an application without difficulty in a copyright issue, so that anyone can easily develop the application and provide a developed application to a business operator to generate revenue.

In other words, since it is possible to obtain the same effect as using the copyrighted contents directly from the copyright holder, the contents can be easily used, and the application can be developed to generate profit.

As a result, the competitiveness of developers is increased, and operators can use more various contents and applications, thereby increasing the content market and increasing sales.

6. Development application provision step <S306>

Using the content provided in step S305, providing a development application that allows the developer to develop the application, it is possible to provide a development application that is an easy development environment for developers to easily develop as well as providing the content.

In other words, as a development application, a development application such as a UI authoring tool such as MUIF (Multimedia UI Framework) is required for development. Anyone can easily develop the application by providing an easier development application than the existing development application. It is configured to make it possible to develop the desired application.

Such a development application provides an easy development environment for developing an application, and is configured to include a certificate that allows the application to run only in a specific program.

7. Application Development Stage <S307>

The developer develops an application using the development application provided in step S306, and transmits the application developed by the developer to the server 140 of the operator from the developer's terminal 130.

That is, the developer may generate revenue by providing an application developed by an easy development application provided by the resource bank 110 to the operator. In addition, by receiving a request for the development of a specific application from the operator, it is also possible to develop and provide the application to the operator by searching and using the content that is selectively transmitted accordingly.

Here, the steps S306 and S307 will be described as an example. If the Internet site 'www.OOOOO.co.kr' provides an easy development application so that ordinary people who are not professional developers can easily develop applications using contents, Developer who wants to develop flash by using celebrity OOO's photo downloaded through the development application provided in this way puts a phrase or synthesizes the photo downloaded through the development application provided on the internet site 'www.OOOOO.co.kr' A flash is completed through an editing process such as inserting background music. At this time, the completed flash can be configured to include a certificate to be executed only in a specific program running on the terminal received through the correct path.

8. Application Provisioning Steps

In operation S307, the application developed by the developer and configured to be transmitted to the server 140 of the operator is configured to provide the user's terminal 150. In other words, the user searches the operator's server 140 to download the application, where the user can pay the operator a fee for using the application and execute the downloaded application.

This allows the application developed by the developer to be run or copied only in a specific program so as to prevent the contents provider's contents from being inadvertently copied or tampered with the contents registered through the steps S301, S302 and S303. In order to prevent this from happening, it is also possible to assign a corresponding certificate to each piece of content. In other words, by allowing only legitimate users to use applications that use copyrighted content, it is possible to prevent copyright disputes that may occur later.

Here, as an example of a certificate for the content, a method of granting an authentication code includes a digital object identifier (DOI), an index for recording data necessary for electronic commerce, and an watermarking technology for illegal copying and tamper prevention. Etc. may be utilized, and an identification number may be assigned to the content using DOI, or confidential information may be hidden in the content using watermarking so that it is possible to check who is the copyright holder of the content in case of copyright dispute. do.

In other words, by applying the authentication code to the content using such a technology, it is possible to achieve the same effect as the security authentication system is installed for each content, and to protect the copyright by preventing illegal copying and tampering.

9. Revenue Settlement Stage

Revenue generated by the application developed using the content and the revenue generated by the content provided in the step S305 and step S306 is settled, the operator enters the use contract for the application developed by the developer and the cost for it If paid, the resource bank 110, which acts as an intermediary, calculates the revenue through a revenue share contracted with the content provider and the developer of the application in which the revenue is generated, and the resource bank 110, which is an intermediary, has a certain amount or revenue. Receive the agreed revenue by the share.

For example, an agreement between a content provider who provided photos of celebrity OOO used for flash and a developer of an application that developed flash was set to a revenue share ratio of 3: 7, and the flash was provided to the operator to receive revenue from the operator. If you earn, you will receive a certain amount of brokerage fees on the Internet site 'www.OOOOO.co.kr' in exchange for the mediator. Make sure you get paid.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, a specific example through a flow between a content provider, a developer, a business operator, and a user will be described with respect to the overall system applied to the present invention.

First, when A, the content provider 20 , registers (1) the copyrighted content in the resource bank 110, the registered content is verified through copyright and harmfulness so that the registration is completed (2) . . At this time, the registered content is given an authentication code to prevent illegal copying and tampering (3) , the content that has been verified through the verification code is built in the database (4) to search the developer 30 necessary content Easy to find and select, and allows the developer 30 to receive and use the selected content.

At this time, Mr. B, the developer 30, receives content provided by A, the content provider 20, to the terminal 120 of the content provider through the resource bank 110 (5) and is provided from the resource bank 110. (6) to develop an application using a development application.

Therefore, if you want to use the business 40 so that profits can be generated by supplying the application developed by Mr. B to the user 50 in the S communication company, which is the operator 40, the contract and settlement (7) for this has been developed by Mr. B. Use the application.

Accordingly, the resource bank 110 calculates the revenue according to the revenue share ratio that has been negotiated with the content provider 20 A and the developer 30 B of the application with respect to the revenue generated from the carrier S as the operator 40. The resource bank 110, which acted as an intermediary, allows the settlement 8 to be made to receive a certain amount in return .

On the other hand, the S communication company 40 as a provider provides the user with the (9) application that has been contracted and settled, so as to take advantage of the portion from which the user (10) revenue is generated .

In an embodiment of the present invention, the resource bank 110 serves as a kind of open market, and an unspecified number may be a developer of a content provider and an application. In the current situation where the application developed by the individual is not noticed due to the lack of recognition, brand, and source resources except for some of them, it is desirable to activate the development using the contents of the individual by providing a content distribution environment that is easily available to everyone. Prepare a room.
