In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the computer of the plurality of copyright holder 10 and the copyright user 20 is connected to the server 30 for providing the service of the present invention through the Internet network.

The copyright holder 10 and the asset user 20 are those who access the server 30 to perform a member registration process and register a work on the server 30 or search for and use a registered work.

The server 30 is connected to the computer network of the payment system 50 to perform the processing of the royalty fee provided to the member, the application program interface (API) 32, the application program 34, the database management system (DBMS) and database 36 are configured.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the application program 34, the database management system and the database 36 are implemented in each physical server, may be implemented by being distributed to a plurality of servers in accordance with the increase in traffic amount, The database 36 includes a member DB 38, an asset DB 40, a settlement DB 42, a settlement DB 44, and a statistics DB 46.

The member DB 38 includes personal identification information necessary for member registration such as ID (member identification number), name, address, social security number, e-mail address, area of interest, and account number for copyright payment in case of a copyright holder. .

The asset DB 40 stores the contents of the copyrighted work, matters necessary for a service policy such as a charging policy and a sales policy.

The settlement DB 42 stores the ID and copyright code of the copyright holder and details of the copyright fee, copyright rate of the copyright holder, and the like.

The payment DB 44 stores the payment details, the date and time and the payment method of the member using the copyrighted work.

The statistics DB 46 stores information such as the number of asset views and the amount paid.

The server 30 acts as an HTML server that provides an HTML document containing the copyrighted work to the computer of the copyright holder 10 and the copyright owner 20, and accesses the application program 34 through the API 32. 10) and at the request of the user of the copyright user 20, the application program 34 is executed. The application 34 includes a member related module, an asset related module, and a settlement and payment module.

Among the module related to members, the member registration module requires the user to enter personal identification information necessary for registration such as ID, name, address, social security number, e-mail address, area of interest, and account number for copyright payment in case of copyright holder. When the input of the information is completed, the input data is stored in the member DB 38 of the database.

In the member related module, the member authentication module is used when a copyright holder who has completed member registration accesses the server 30 through his computer to search or modify a work registered by the copyright holder. If so, the authentication process is performed. In order to perform authentication, the server 30 requires the member to input identification information such as ID and password, and checks whether the input data is the same as the ID and password data previously stored in the member DB 38 of the database. If the same, the service permits the use of the desired service. If not, an error message is generated. If not, an error message is generated.

2 to 6 is a flow chart for explaining in detail the asset service method using the Internet according to the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a member registration step in detail.

In order to register a member, the copyright holder 10 or the copyright user 20 drives the web browser of the computer and accesses the server 30 through the Internet network (S102).

When the copyright holder 10 or the asset user 20 accessing the server 30 selects a member registration menu provided by the server 30, the server 30 may input an HTML document for inputting information necessary for member registration. The input window is transmitted to the computer (S104). The necessary items for membership registration include ID (user identification number), password, name, social security number, e-mail address, and account number required for settlement in case of copyright holder.

When the copyright holder 10 or the asset user 20 inputs the necessary information for member registration and transmits it to the server 30 (S106), the server 30 searches for the member DB 38 and the same ID exists. (S108), if the same ID is required to re-enter the ID (S110), if the same ID does not exist in the existing real name and resident registration number for real name authentication to check whether the correct real name ( S112), if it is not the correct real name, request the correct real name and social security number again (S114), and if the correct real name is stored in the member DB 38 of the database (S116).

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a copyright holder registers a work in a work service method using the Internet according to the present invention.

If the copyright holder 10 wants to register the copyrighted material is connected to the server 30 selects the copyright registration menu of the web document provided by the server 30, the server 30 can enter the member ID and password If an input window is provided and the copyright holder inputs an ID and password (S202), the member authentication module of the application 34 of the server 30 performs the member authentication process with respect to the input ID and password (S204). . If the ID and password entered do not match the ID and password registered in the member DB 38 of the database, an error message is generated and a re-input is requested (S206). Provides an HTML document input window for inputting the copyright, the copyright holder enters the work registration and service policy for the work (S208).

Information to be input includes basic information about the work and service policy. The basic information about the work includes the title of the work, summary information, the classification to which the work belongs, and keywords. The service policy refers to the user of the work in the use of the work. Is to decide whether or not to charge the customer.

For example, the billing policy that the copyright holder can select will be described. First, as a free service setting, the number 1 to a specific number (possibly before the last number of the entire work, which is input from the server 30 to the computer of the copyright holder 10). You can set it for free.) This part causes the curiosity by showing a part of the contents of the work together with summary information when the user accesses the work, and it is used as a judgment material in making a payment.

Second, as a fee service package setting, the billing amount is set and the period of use for a particular section is set, for example, 11 to 30 bills are set at 500 won and the term is 7 days. This is a feature that allows the copyright holder to adjust the price to make the service more accessible to the copyright owner when a large number of publications have already been made.

Third, as the billing charge per piece, billing is included in the part not included in the package, and the period setting is also included. For example, after 31 episodes, the billing period is set to 50 won per piece for three days. Since the number is the most recent, members can pay and use the amount even if the price is slightly higher than the previous package price, and it is applied to allow the copyright holder to set various billing policies.

When the copyright holder completes input of all the matters required for the copyright registration, the server 30 registers the input in the copyright database 40 of the database (S210).

In the above service policy, when a copyright holder wants to convert a freely available work into a paid service, the service policy may be modified and converted. This is to enhance the quality of the copyrighted work as well as to inspire copyright holders by providing a method of converting the work for free and then converting it for a fee according to the increase in popularity of the work.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of using a copyrighted work of the user according to the present invention.

The asset user 20 accesses the server 30 and inputs an ID and password (S302) to receive member authentication (S304). If the ID and password entered here are different from the contents of the member DB, an error message occurs (S306), and the user must re-enter the ID and password.

The asset user 20 that has undergone the membership authentication step accesses the server 30 to search for and access the registered asset (S308). Whether the accessed asset page is the free service area is checked through the server 30 (S310), and in the case of the free service area, the DRM (Data Management System) is transferred from the server 30 to the computer of the asset user 20. The applied program and the work is transmitted so that the user of the work 20 can use the work (S318).

If not in the free service area, the server 30 checks the payment history and the usage period of the user 20 through the database payment DB 42 (S312), and the valid payment details (the payment state is in use and the usage period is In the case of remaining state), the work can be used (S318). If the payment is not valid, the server 30 connects the payment system 50 to the computer of the asset user 20 to make a payment (S314). (S316) After storing the payment history information (work type and billing, payment date, payment method, etc.) in the payment DB 42 of the database to enable the use of the work (S318). In addition, when using a work, statistics on the use of the work (hits, payment amount, etc.) are stored in the statistics DB 46 of the database.

In using copyrighted works, DRM (Data Management System) is applied to all copyrighted works to protect copyrights and provide application programs for users to use them more conveniently. Earn by mileage.

5 is a diagram for explaining a step in which a copyright holder registers a serial number in a work.

Member authentication process (S402, S404, S406) is the same as Figure 3, 4, when the copyright holder checks whether the copyrighted work to be registered serial (S408), the server 30 provides a serial registration form if the serial (S412), if the new registration provides a new registration form (S410). The copyright holder 10 inputs the copyrighted work contents according to the form provided by the server 30 (S414), and when the input is completed, the copyright holder 10 stores the copyrighted work DB 40 in the database (S416). The copyright holder can input the contents of the work in concatenation, which can be used in connection with the use of the work. This series is characterized by the service policy set when registering the copyrighted work for the first time or when converting paid.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a mileage usage process, wherein the asset user 20 may purchase an item related to the asset growth system based on the mileage accumulated at the time of payment.

The mileage user first accesses the item shop (S502), searches for several items, purchases a favorite item (S504), and uses the purchased item in an asset to recommend to other members (S506). Items are reflected in the asset growth system (S508) and earned as points to the copyright holder (S510).

Here, the work growth system is a standard for judging the popularity or excellence of a work through various evaluation criteria (number of views, number of recommendations, evaluations, registration of preferred works, etc.) and items. One system that allows you to contribute.

When the purchased items are used in the asset growth system, points are credited to the copyright holder of the corresponding asset according to the use of each item, and the accumulated points are settled on the settlement date. Such a system is characterized by encouraging members to be creative by using mileage for their favorite works.

Anyone who registers a work in accordance with the present invention can be a copyright holder, and it is natural that a copyright owner can also be a user of a work when using a work of another person.

The specific embodiments described in the present specification so far are for clarity of the technical content of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should not be construed in consultation with only such examples, but the present invention. Various modifications are possible within the technical scope of the invention.
