Blockchain-based secondary copyright revenue distribution system and method thereof

The present invention relates to a blockchain-based secondary copyright revenue distribution system and a method thereof, and more particularly, when revenue is generated by multimedia content uploaded from the terminal of the secondary copyright holder, the primary method according to a preset smart contract It is about a blockchain-based secondary copyright revenue distribution system that distributes copyright revenue generated to copyright owners and secondary copyright holders.

Basically, the distribution service of music consists of music providers, distributors, music service platforms, and consumers in the order.

On the other hand, the process of revenue from music consists in the order of consumer payments, music service platforms, distributors, and music providers.

Here, the sound source provider has the right to copyright at the stage of producing the sound source. Copyright is the right that authors have with respect to works that are creative works, that is, poems, novels, music, art, films, plays, and computer programs.

Currently, more than half of the digital music revenue distribution structure in Korea is provided to music services and distribution companies, and the profits of copyright holders are distributed in the ratio of lyrics/composition/arrangement or lyrics/composition at a 10% stake. In addition, about 6% is distributed to singers or performers who perform music. However, many copyright holders are not properly recognized for their copyrights in the process of receiving their profits. In addition, as the copyright market grows, the field of copyright to be recognized is diversified and subdivided. However, the secondary copyright market, especially music-related copyright, has a problem in that it cannot generate correct copyright revenue regardless of the size of the market.

The technology that is the background of the present invention is disclosed in Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2019-0141495 (published on December 24, 2019).

In addition, the terms to be described later are terms defined in consideration of functions in the present invention, which may vary according to intentions or customs of users and operators. Therefore, definitions of these terms should be made based on the content throughout this specification.

Hereinafter, a secondary copyright revenue distribution system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 1 .

1 is a flowchart for explaining a secondary copyright revenue distribution system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the secondary copyright revenue sharing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a content receiving unit 110 , an information acquiring unit 120 , a determining unit 130 , and a revenue sharing unit 140 . and a payment unit 150 .

First, the content receiving unit 110 receives the multimedia content from the user terminal of the secondary copyright holder.

Here, the secondary copyright refers to a creative work created by translating, arranging, transforming, adapting, or producing a video of the original work.

Next, the information acquisition unit 120 acquires information on the copyright holder of the original work for the received secondary copyright. In other words, the information acquisition unit 120 receives information about the original copyright holder from the user terminal of the secondary copyright holder who has uploaded the secondary copyright, or extracts information about the original copyright holder from the multimedia content uploaded by the secondary copyright holder .

The determination unit 130 determines whether revenue is generated for the multimedia content uploaded by the secondary copyright holder.

The revenue distribution unit 140 distributes the revenue generated according to a preset smart contract to the secondary copyright holder and the primary copyright holder. At this time, the revenue sharing unit 140 extracts information on the original work that matches the multimedia content uploaded by the secondary copyright holder using public data provided by the Copyright Association. At this time, if there is a matching original work, the revenue distribution unit 140 distributes the revenue to the secondary copyright holder and the primary copyright holder. On the other hand, if there is no matching original work, the revenue distribution unit 140 distributes the revenue only to the secondary copyright holder after excluding the revenue for the original producer.

Finally, the payment unit 150 pays the distributed revenue in the form of cryptocurrency used in the block chain. On the other hand, the payment unit 150 may pay the distributed revenue using mileage or points available inside the block chain platform other than cryptocurrency, and the mileage and points can be used directly inside the block chain platform or can be exchanged for cash Do.

The payment unit 150 may directly pay cryptocurrency, mileage or points to the primary copyright holder or secondary copyright holder, or may pay in a consignment form.

In the case of payment in the form of consignment, the primary or secondary copyright holder sends a signal to request for entrusted settlement using the user's terminal. Then, the payment unit 150 pays the distributed revenue through a virtual account registered by the Copyright Association, and the Copyright Association delivers the entrusted revenue to the primary or secondary copyright holder.

Hereinafter, a secondary copyright revenue distribution method using a blockchain-based secondary copyright revenue distribution system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 .

2 is a flowchart for explaining a secondary copyright revenue distribution method using a secondary copyright revenue distribution system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 2, the secondary copyright holder according to an embodiment of the present invention uploads multimedia content using a user terminal. Then, the content receiving unit 110 receives the uploaded multimedia content (S210).

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the multimedia content uploaded by the secondary copyright holder is referred to as a secondary work, and the original work of the secondary work is referred to as a primary work.

The secondary copyright holder creates the secondary work by any one of various methods such as translation, arrangement, transformation, and adaptation of the original work. Then, the secondary copyright holder uploads the created secondary work using the user terminal.

Next, the information acquisition unit 120 acquires information on the primary copyright holder (S220).

Hereinafter, step S220 shown in FIG. 2 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3 .

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining step S220 shown in FIG. 2 .

As shown in FIG. 3 , the information acquisition unit 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention transmits an information request signal to the copyright holder for the primary work to the user terminal of the secondary copyright holder ( S221 ).

Next, the information acquisition unit 120 determines whether information on the primary work has been received from the secondary copyright holder in response to the information request signal (S222).

The secondary copyright holder may or may not input information about the primary work using the user terminal according to the received information request signal.

For example, if the work is music, the secondary copyright holder may input only the song name for the primary work, or may input the name of the primary copyright holder or primary performer. In addition, the secondary copyright holder may not enter information in the primary work.

Accordingly, if information on the primary work is not received from the secondary copyright holder, the information acquisition unit 120 extracts some information included in the secondary work (S223).

In other words, the information acquisition unit 120 extracts at least one piece of information among lines, lyrics, melodies, and sentences included in the secondary work.

Next, the information acquisition unit 120 compares the information on the primary work input from the secondary copyright holder or some information extracted from the secondary work with the public data provided by the Copyright Association to determine whether to register the copyright ( S224).

Copyright is divided into moral rights and copyrights. In other words, copyright recognizes the effort and value of the creator and grants the right to use it like property. Accordingly, the information acquisition unit 120 determines whether the primary work is registered as a copyright in order to distribute the revenue generated later.

In the state in which step S220 is completed, the determination unit 130 determines whether revenue is generated for the secondary work (S230).

When revenue is generated, the determination unit 130 transmits information on the generated revenue to the revenue distribution unit 140 .

Then, the revenue distribution unit 140 distributes the generated revenue to the secondary copyright holder and the primary copyright holder (S240).

At this time, when the smart contract for revenue is registered in the block chain, the revenue distribution unit 140 distributes the revenue to the primary copyright holder and the secondary copyright holder according to the distribution ratio registered in the smart contract.

Finally, the payment unit 150 pays the distributed revenue in cryptocurrency used in the platform (S250).

In this case, if the primary work is not registered as a copyright in step S224, the payment unit 150 pays only the secondary copyright holder after excluding the revenue distributed to the primary copyright holder.

On the other hand, the payment unit 150 pays a profit using the cryptocurrency exchanged through the platform internal exchange.

Hereinafter, a method of commercializing cryptocurrency according to an embodiment of the present invention using FIG. 4 will be described in more detail.

4 is a view for explaining a cryptocurrency commercialization method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, as described in Table 1, cryptocurrencies used in blockchain are classified into Nibs (N), Nibs Power (N.P), Nibs Tokens (N.T), and ON.

As shown in FIG. 4 , a user registers as a member on the platform through DID identity authentication using a user terminal. Then, the platform provides a wallet that stores cryptocurrency assets to users who have signed up as members.

At this time, when trading through the cryptocurrency futures exchange, the platform performs the transaction through Nibs (N), which can be purchased through Ethereum or cash.

On the other hand, cryptocurrency futures exchanges use Nips Power (N.P) or Nips Token (N.T) to manage their assets internally. Therefore, when a user requests a transaction using nips (N), the cryptocurrency futures exchange exchanges the inflow nips (N) for nips POWER (N.P) or nips tokens (N.T).

Here, as shown in Table 1, Nips POWER (NP) is a cryptocurrency that has a condition to be redeemed after N weeks as a coin inside the platform, and Nips Token (NT) is a point that can be rewarded through activities inside the platform and It is a cryptocurrency that does the same thing. Accordingly, when a request is made by a user while being exchanged for POWER (N.P), the nibs (N) are stored for N weeks and then provided again with the same amount. On the other hand, Nibs Token (N.T) can be paid according to video viewing, posting upload, and content evaluation, and when an exchange is requested through the platform internal exchange, it is exchanged with Real Economy Token (ON) after 1 day. Real Economy Token (ON) is a cryptocurrency that can be used like in-kind.

In other words, Nips (N) can be exchanged for Nips POWER (NP) or Nips Token (NT) with variable value, and Nips POWER (NP) or Nips Token (NT) is a real economy token with a fixed value. (ON) and ratio exchanged.

Therefore, the secondary copyright revenue distribution system according to the present invention pays the revenue generated by the secondary work as nibs tokens (N.T) used in the platform. Then, the primary copyright holder or secondary copyright holder allows the paid Nips token (N.T) to be exchanged for real economy token (ON) or cryptocurrency futures exchange Nips (N) through the platform internal exchange.

As described above, the secondary copyright revenue distribution system according to the present invention enables the distribution of revenue between the secondary copyright holder and the primary copyright holder based on the block chain, thereby avoiding the abnormal copyright revenue distribution structure through conventional distributors, etc. By verifying the license through the contract, the copyright revenue can be distributed relatively transparently and fairly to copyright holders and performers.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom. will be. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the following claims.
