Description

Copyright management method and copyright management system online {METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING COPYRIGHTS BY ON-LINE}

1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a copyright management system according to the present invention;

Figure 2 illustrates another embodiment of a copyright management system according to the present invention.

3 is a flowchart showing a copyright management method according to the present invention;

The present invention distributes the profits of the use of secondary works to original authors to prevent problems that may occur when processing and editing copyrighted works by producing new secondary works and posting them online. The second author must be given permission to use the work of the original author.

With the development of information technology, the cost of storing data per bit is rapidly decreasing, the processing speed per piece of information is rapidly increasing, and the cost of getting it is getting lower.

As a result, online posts, which were posted mainly on the text in the past, are gradually coming up in various forms such as music, pictures, and videos. However, if the original author of the post is the user who posted the post, the copyright does not cause a big problem because the copyright is on the uploader, but in the case of a post reproduced by processing a part of another person's work, a problem related to copyright infringement may occur. Lots of possessions.

Since the reproduced works are protected as independent works, copyright occurs even without any procedure or form, but in principle only the original author has the right to create a secondary work created using the work. You must obtain the consent of the original author to use this work.

However, since there is no way for a user to obtain permission from an original work to post a post using the original work, online posts reproduced using the work of another person and uploaded now are not processed without this 'consent' process. The post is spreading illegal posts, and the server provider providing the bulletin board checks and deletes each post by mobilizing a separate manpower. However, it is not easy to check a huge number of posts a day to see if there are any copyright-related problems, and since the content seems to have a slight problem, the posts are deleted. The manpower and costs involved to perform these tasks were also formidable.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, the use of the work to the author of the original work in order to prevent problems that occur when the second work is produced and published online using the work of the original author It is an object of the present invention to provide a system that allows the original author and the author of the second work to share the profits generated by the use of the second work reproduced using the original work.

In order to achieve the object as described above, to provide a copyright management method and copyright management system, as a copyright management method,

Registering information of the original work in the original work information DB by the original author;

Designating, by the original author, terms of use relating to the use of the original work;

The second author who has searched for information on the work of the original author in the original work information DB including the information on the original work may include a step of agreeing to the terms of use.

After the second author agrees to the terms of use, the second author may check whether the original author satisfies the conditions presented by the original author, and may further include agreeing to use the original author by the original author.

After the second author agrees to the terms of use, the method may include a step of including one or more of the advertisements stored in the advertisement DB containing the advertisement of the advertiser in the secondary asset.

After agreeing to the terms of use, the method may further include calculating revenue of the secondary copyrighted work including checking an exposure frequency exposed to the public to which the secondary copyrighted work is provided.

After the step of calculating the revenue of the second copyright work may further include a revenue distribution step of distributing revenue between the original author, the second author, a service provider performing a service providing the second copyright work according to the ratio agreed to each other. have.

The conditions of use specified by the original author are: whether to allow editing of the original work, whether basic processing is allowed, degree of processing, whether to allow mixing with other works, whether to insert advertisements to generate revenue, and paid links. It may include one or more of whether or not to generate revenue, the distribution ratio of the generated revenue, the period of use, and the author name of the original author.

The original work information DB is one or more of the original title of the original work, translated title, cast, director, author name, production year, plot, the work itself or part, drama information, publication year to facilitate the search It may include.

Also, as a copyright management system, one or more original author PCs and one or more secondary author PCs are connected through a network.

The copyright management system includes: an original work information DB including information about a work of the original author;

According to the permission of the original author may include information about the second work produced by the original work and the second work DB including the second work.

The copyright management system may further include an advertisement DB containing contents related to the advertisement of the advertiser.

The original work information DB may include a revenue share of an advertisement determined by the original author.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a diagram showing a copyright management system according to the present invention. The copyright management system 13 is connected to the PC 12 of the original authors via a network such as the Internet, and is also connected to the PC 11 of the user (herein, the creator of the secondary work is called a 'user'). It is. For convenience, the original author and the user are distinguished, but in reality, the user may be the original author and the original author may be the user.

The copyright management system separately includes the original work information DB 15 and the second work DB 17.

The original author uploads information about his work by accessing the copyright management system through a PC connected to the Internet. Such information is stored in the original work information DB 15. It is only when the author of the work is clear that the rights of copyright can be freed. Here, the person uploaded to the author DB may be the creator, but the person who receives the profit from the work. For example, in the case of a secondary work, the original author does not belong to the author, but may be uploaded to the author DB because the author shares revenue from the work.

In this case, the work may be any format that can be transmitted through a network such as text, text, pictures, music, as well as a video.

Original authors can set the conditions for using them to produce secondary works using their works while posting information about their works in the original works information DB. That is, whether to allow the use of their own work, whether to allow editing, whether to allow basic processing, the degree of processing, whether to allow mixing with other works, whether to insert advertising and make money, You can specify whether to make a profit by inserting a link, the distribution ratio of the generated revenue, the period of use, the notation of the author's name, etc. This is to prevent the processing of the original author's undesired form. If the original author wants, the specific condition can be omitted, and it is possible to simply agree on whether to permit the secondary processing of his work.

In the case where it is possible to simply agree to the conditions presented by the original author (for example, profit sharing, etc.), the agreement is concluded by the user (second author), but the original author confirms the result of the secondary work. In the case that it should be done, the consent for use can be established only after the original author has confirmed the second work and agreed.

In this way, the original author adds his or her desired terms of use to register the work in the copyright management system, thereby creating a condition under which the user (secondary author) can use his work.

In addition, the original author may set a distribution ratio for the profit of the secondary works using his work, which is determined by the original author within a certain set of guidelines and the user agrees to the use of the original work. It can be regarded as having permission.

In addition, the original author may store the search information on the title, translated title, cast, director, author name, year of production, etc. of the original work in order to make it easy to search.

The user can access the copyright management system through the network using the user PC and can search for the works stored in the copyright management system. If a user has a work that he / she wants to edit or process, he may apply for use of the work. Although users may start their own work from accessing the copyright management system, the user generally encounters the work of the original author through other channels such as over-the-air broadcasting and the homepage of another person, not the copyright management system. It is common to be tempted to process a work in a different form. At this time, the copyright management system is accessed to obtain the original author's permission to use the original work. If the original work does not contain the author's information, the copyright management system provides a search system that allows the user to find the author's work. Must be provided.

If a user wants to process a program that has already been broadcast, the program can be searched only by knowing the broadcaster and the time when the program was broadcast, and the copyright holder may be the broadcaster. If you do not have enough space to represent the author, such as a small sized picture, it is difficult to know the author, so if the video is a simple content, the background and characters of the video, and if the picture is a background, the material and its arrangement, type, quantity And the like need to be standardized and stored. In addition, it is also necessary to select and store the subjects estimated from the contents of the work. Users can search the keywordized and standardized data to find the original author of the work they want to use.

In addition, since such data is best known by the original author, the creator of the work, inputting data that can be indexed at the time of the work's registration saves money by eliminating the need for a separate manpower and makes it easy to search for your own. The greater the frequency of use of the copyrighted work, the greater the benefit to the original author, so the original author enters specific information for the search.

In addition, in constructing a copyright management database, the user can easily find the original work by searching by configuring information that is easy to search, that is, information that is likely to be recognized by the user. For example, a database of works for retrieval may consist of the original title, translated title, cast, director, author's name, and production year. In addition, even if the user enters a search term similarly, the user can easily access the information by searching for it in association with the actual search word.

At this time, the work may be registered by the original author, but a company or an individual authorized by the original author may be registered as an agent.

When the user finds the original work through the search, the detailed information of the original work can be confirmed, and the conditions of use suggested by the original author for the work can also be searched. If the original author does not authorize the editing and processing of his or her contents, it is impossible to use the original work. In this case, the user can obtain the effect of preventing the copyright infringement problem that may occur in the future.

If the original author puts a condition on the use of his work, the user shall apply for the use of the work if all the conditions can be satisfied. The original author may restrict the use of the work by subjecting it to various forms, quantity, size, genre, etc., because the work may be processed and edited in other forms.

If the user applies for the use of the work, the user agrees to such restrictions, and if the user has doubts or wants to relax, the original author or his representative may request a separate request, but the original author does not want to relax. The user must make a use agreement on the condition of the original author or give up use of the work. However, for the sake of simplicity, the license may be considered to be licensed only if the original author has agreed to the terms presented. If not, the license may be deemed unlicensed.

The user using the original work must meet the restrictions set forth by the original copyright holder and must establish separate arrangements for distributing revenue from secondary works made using the original work. Secondary works created by the user can be used in various forms. In the case of video or music, short videos or advertisements can be inserted in front or behind them. Secondary works can be stored on the server of the copyright management system. By linking to a server of the management system, the copyright management system can measure the number of impressions that the copyrighted work accesses and services. If the service provider other than the copyright management system services the second work, you can receive information about the impressions from the service provider. Therefore, the advertising fee can be settled based on the number of impressions exposed to the public, and the advertising fee paid from the advertiser can be distributed among the original author, the second author, the copyright management system, or another service provider providing the second work. do. The distribution ratio here may be predetermined or may be determined by online consultation between the original author and the user.

In addition, the original author or the user can designate the type of advertisement to be used in his or her work, or can specify a specific advertisement. In order to designate such advertisements, the copyright management system may have a separate advertisement DB to disclose the advertisement time, the allocated advertisement fee, and the revenue share ratio, so that the original author or the second author may select the online shopping.

In the present invention, when determining the selection of advertisements or the distribution of profits, it is possible to finally finalize the proposal through a process such as accepting the proposal online and accepting it or making a new proposal. Since it can take a long time, the copyright management system can allow the selection of advertisements to users, the selection of advertisement fees to advertisers, and the revenue share ratio to be decided by the original author. .

However, it may be possible for the user to apply within the guidelines set by the original author, and the original author can inspect it upon registration.

Most of the processes described above are using video, but even if it is not possible to put an advertisement in the case of pictures, texts, etc., when providing the asset, the advertisement can be put on the same page, such as a banner. The service provider may receive data on the number of impressions and revenue data for the advertisement, and may distribute the revenue for the advertisement to the original author, user, and service provider.

This is shown in more detail in FIG. The copyright management system shown in FIG. 1 is simply the simplest form of copyright management system in which the copyright management system draws a certain agreement between the original author and the user and stores the agreement accordingly. However, the copyright management system shown in FIG. Ads and advertisers contain data on advertising fees paid for each ad, including times, hours, and impressions, so that when a user creates a second asset, the user can select and edit the ad together ( In the case of a video), if an advertisement cannot be inserted in the asset itself, an advertisement designated to the service provider is sent to the service provider so that the service provider can display the advertisement together with the asset so that the impression data can be received.

3 is a diagram showing the overall flow of registering a copyright and making an agreement therein according to the present invention. Initially, the original author registers the work in the original work information DB (S110), and the original author designates the conditions of use of his original work together with it and registers it together (S120). By searching in the copyright management system, you can see the terms of use for the original work, and if you agree (S130), you will see that a contract of use for the original work is concluded with the original work. When registered in the secondary asset DB (S140), the original author inspects the secondary asset to see if it satisfies the conditions specified by him. As a result, when a contract of use is made between the original author and the secondary author, the secondary works are included in the service.

The invention as described above not only clarifies the rights relations that may occur when the second author uses the original work to author, but also the revenue between the original author and the second author, and furthermore, the service provider of the second work. Since they are in charge of distribution at the same time, they can bring the maximum profit to each party. Accordingly, the works such as secondary works are actively created, thereby contributing to the formation of a new culture online.
