Description

Art work trading system and method {ARTWORK TRADING SYSTEM AND METHOD}

The present invention relates to a system and method for trading works of art capable of paying artists and collectors a part of the increase in the value of works of art due to resale.

Copyright and ownership are different concepts. In the case of a work of art, the artist who created the work of art is the owner of the copyright and ownership of the work of art, but when the work of art is transferred to another person, the ownership of the work of art is transferred to the transferee of the work of art.

Resale Rolalty Right refers to the right to an object that can be exercised by reselling it even if the copyright-related object has been transferred several times and the current ownership is owned by another person. In the case of works of art, unlike music, publications, computer programs, and digital files, which can earn constant income from copies, ownership is much more meaningful than copyright because most of the value is determined by whether it is 'original'. Therefore, according to the law, author's property rights last until 70 years after the death of the copyright holder, but if the artist sells his or her work, even if the artist and the artwork become famous later, there is little expected income for the artist.

In general, in the case of art works, the value often rises rapidly after the creation of the work, and since the beneficiary of the increase in value is the owner, not the copyright holder, the artist of the art work expects future income by selling his or her art work. Without this, the desire to create is reduced. In addition, unlike other art fields such as novelists and composers who can continuously earn income based on the sales of their works, it is against equity because no additional income can be expected once a work is sold.

Considering the uniqueness of these artists, the right to follow-up is continuously discussed, but related legislation or system improvements have not yet been made, and some overseas countries that guarantee the right to follow-up are also guaranteed only for transactions made through public auctions, so private transactions. As for private transactions, the right to follow-up is not guaranteed, and private transactions are outside the system, so it is difficult to determine the history of changes in ownership due to private transactions.

A system and method are also provided to the artist of the art work so that the right to follow-up can be exercised indirectly by returning a part of the increase in the value of the art work due to the artist's popularity and resale.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present embodiment is not limited to the technical problem as described above, and other technical problems can be inferred from the following embodiments.

A method for trading works of art by users, performed by at least one processor, includes the steps of registering information on an artist's artwork in a server, wherein a first collector sells the artwork from the artist at a first sale price through the server. A step of generating a first transaction of purchasing, a step of the server receiving a part of the first sale price as a first transaction fee, a second collector converting the artwork from the first collector to a second sale price through the server generating a secondary transaction of purchasing, receiving, by the server, a part of the second sale amount as a secondary transaction fee, and transmitting a primary writer fee from the server to the writer; The writer's fee is determined as part of the second sales amount or based on the difference between the second sales amount and the first sales amount, and the users use the writer and collectors including the first collector and the second collector. can include

The method of trading the artworks of the users includes the step of generating a third transaction in which a third collector purchases the artwork from the second collector at a third sales price through the server, and the server transfers part of the third sale price to the third transaction. receiving as a transaction fee, and transmitting a secondary writer fee from the server to the writer, wherein the secondary writer fee is part of the third sale amount or is combined with the third sale amount. 2Can be determined based on the difference in sales amount.

The method of trading artworks of the users may include transmitting a part of the third sale price or a difference between the third sale price and the second sale price from the server to the first collector as a discovery fee for the artist. may further include.

The method for trading works of art by the users further includes creating an electronic wallet in the server for deposit and withdrawal that is usable only by the users in the server, and the primary transaction fee, the secondary transaction fee, and the primary artist fee are It can be transmitted through the electronic wallet.

The generating of the first transaction includes a step of recording, by the server, details of the first transaction including the first sale amount, a time point at which the first transaction occurred, and information of the artist and the first collector; The generating of the second transaction includes recording, by the server, details of the second transaction including the second sales amount, the time of occurrence of the second transaction, and information of the first collector and the second collector. When the users select the artwork displayed on their terminals, the transaction history and price change history can be displayed.

The right to follow-up can be indirectly exercised by the artist of the art work by returning a portion of the value of the art work due to the artist's popularity and resale as profits, encouraging the artist to create and providing a stable source of income. In addition, by paying a part of the increase in the value of art works due to continuous resale as profits to collectors, collectors can receive compensation for discovering artists, so the art trading market can be activated. In addition, since the transaction history of the art work is managed on the server, the collector can enhance the transparency of the transaction and purchase or resell the work at a reasonable price by checking the transaction history information.

1 shows an artwork trading system according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the artwork trading system 1000 may include a server S and terminals T of users.

Users can include anyone interested in a work of art. For example, users are collectors, such as artists of art, people who are interested in buying, possessing, and trending art, and people who want to invest based on the increase in the value of art through the purchase and sale of art. etc. may be included.

Users' terminals T may include various electronic devices such as computers, smart phones, tablet PCs, notebooks, and wearable devices. For example, a predetermined application for accessing the server S to inquire and trade works of art may be installed in the user's smart phone.

The artwork trading system 1000 may include a server S made of various types of centralized computer devices or distributed computing devices. For example, server S may be a central server, a multimedia computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a grid computing resource, a virtualized computer resource, a cloud computing resource, a peer-to-peer distributed computing device, or a combination thereof.

The server S may be connected to each of the terminals T of users based on a wired or wireless communication interface. The server (S) provides artwork transaction services to users and at the same time provides the artist with a portion of the increase in the value of the artwork due to resale as revenue, thereby encouraging the artist's creative will and indirectly guaranteeing the artists' right to follow through. can In addition, the history of artwork transactions through the server S may be recorded in the server S. Accordingly, since users can check transaction history information on a specific work of art, the transparency of the transaction is enhanced, and the work of art can be resold or purchased at a reasonable price. In addition, information distortion or asymmetry can be resolved by disclosing sales price and transaction information to users in the existing closed art market culture.

Users can upload their works of art to the server (S) or trade works of art through the server (S). Through this, users can view, inquire, and trade various works of art. According to an embodiment, users may transmit or register their account information to the server (S) or create an electronic wallet account or account account in the server (S) for deposit and withdrawal for transactions. According to an embodiment, the user can check his/her transaction details or deposit/withdrawal details by accessing the server (S). Hereinafter, the transfer of sales amount or fee between the server and users or between users may be performed through registered account information or through users' electronic wallets or accounts.

Hereinafter, the art work trading method performed in the art work trading system 1000 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6 .

2 and 4 illustrate a method of trading artworks of users performed by at least one processor, according to an embodiment. The artwork trading method of the flow charts of FIGS. 2 and 4 may be performed by the artwork trading system 1000 of FIG. 1 , but is not limited thereto. For example, the flow charts of FIGS. 2 and 4 may be performed by at least one processor.

In step S1100, information about art works of art writers may be registered in the server S. For example, artists may register information on the artist, image of the work, date and time of creation, title of the work, type of work, description of the work, desired selling price of the work, etc. in the server. Users can search various registered works of art information. 3 illustrates a screen on which information on a specific artwork is displayed, according to an embodiment.

Referring back to FIG. 2 , in step S1200, a primary transaction in which an artist sells his art work to a first collector may occur through the server S. Referring to FIG. 5 , the first collector may purchase a work of art (work A) from the artist with a first sale amount (eg, 100,000 won) (a first transaction occurs). The transaction method may include, but is not limited to, an auction method operated by the server (S) as well as direct purchase. According to the occurrence of the first transaction, the ownership of the artwork (work A) is changed from the artist to the first collector, and the server S may record transaction details for the first transaction. According to an embodiment, 'transaction details' may include a subject (art work) of a transaction, a seller, a buyer, a sales amount, a transaction time point (date), and the like.

Referring back to FIG. 2 , in step S1300, a portion of the first sale price may be transmitted to the server S as a transaction fee (primary transaction fee). The transaction fee may be determined based on the sales amount as the sales amount increases. For example, in step S1200, the first collector deposits the first sales amount (100,000 won) in the server, and the server may transmit the remaining amount of the deposited sales amount excluding a predetermined commission (20,000 won) to the artist. Alternatively, in step S1200, the first collector may transmit the first sales amount (100,000 won) to the artist, and the artist may transmit a predetermined fee (20,000 won) of the sales amount to the server S (first stage in FIG. 5). transaction fees).

Referring back to FIG. 2 , in step S1400, a second transaction in which the first collector sells the artwork to the second collector may occur through the server S. Referring to FIG. 5 , the second collector may purchase a work of art (artwork A) from the first collector with a second sales amount (eg, 300,000 won) (second transaction occurs). According to the occurrence of the secondary transaction, the ownership of the art work (work A) is changed from the first collector to the secondary collector, and the server S may record transaction details for the secondary transaction.

Referring back to FIG. 2 , in step S1500, a part of the second sale price may be transmitted to the server S as a transaction fee (secondary transaction fee). For example, 30,000 won, which is 10% of the second sales amount (300,000 won), may be transmitted to the server S. Since the method for the server S to receive the secondary transaction fee is similar to step S1300, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In step S1600, the server S may transmit a primary writer fee to the writer based on the secondary transaction. According to an embodiment, the artist's fee may be determined based on the difference between the second sales amount and the first sales amount (ie, an increase in the value of the artwork). For example, if the first sales amount is 100,000 won and the second sales amount is 300,000 won, the value of the art work (work A) has increased by 200,000 won, and 10% of the increased value of 200,000 won is 20,000 won as the primary artist fee. can be sent to the author as Through this, the artist can secure part of the increase in value as profit when the value of his/her art work rises due to resale. According to another embodiment, the writer's fee may be determined as part of the second sale amount. For example, if the second sales amount is 300,000 won, 10% of the 300,000 won, 30,000 won, may be transmitted to the writer as a first commission. Alternatively, if the second sales amount is 80,000 won, 8,000 won, which is 10% of the 80,000 won, may be transmitted to the writer as a first commission. In this embodiment, even if the value of the work decreases or does not change (when the second sales amount is less than or equal to the first sales amount), the artist may be paid a writer's fee.

4 illustrates a method of trading artworks of users performed by at least one processor, according to an embodiment. The artwork transaction method of FIG. 4 is a method that can be performed subsequent to the artwork transaction method of FIG. 2 .

In step S1700, a third transaction in which the second collector resells the artwork to the third collector may occur through the server S. Referring to FIG. 5 , the third collector may purchase a work of art (artwork A) from the second collector with a third sales amount (eg, 800,000 won) (a third transaction occurs). When the third transaction occurs, the ownership of the art work (work A) is changed from the second collector to the third collector, and the server S may record transaction details for the third transaction.

Referring back to FIG. 4 , in step S1800 , a portion of the third sale amount may be transmitted to the server S as a transaction fee (third transaction fee). For example, 80,000 won, which is 10% of the third sales amount (800,000 won), may be transmitted to the server S. Since the method of receiving the third transaction fee by the server S is similar to step S1300, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In step S1900, the server S may transmit a second writer fee to the writer based on the third transaction. According to an embodiment, the artist's fee may be determined based on the difference between the third sales amount and the second sales amount (ie, the re-increased value of the artwork). For example, if the second sales amount is 300,000 won and the third sales amount is 800,000 won, the value of the art work (work A) increases by 500,000 won, and 10% of the value increase of 500,000 won is 50,000 won. can be sent to the author as Through this, the artist can secure part of the increase in value as profit when the value of his or her art work increases as it is continuously resold. For example, if the third sales amount is 800,000 won, 10% of the 800,000 won, 80,000 won, may be transmitted to the writer as a secondary writer fee. Alternatively, if the second sales amount is 250,000 won, 25,000 won, which is 10% of the 250,000 won, may be transmitted to the writer as a secondary writer fee. In this embodiment, even if the value of the work decreases or does not change (when the third sales amount is less than or equal to the second sales amount), the artist may be paid a writer's fee.

According to an embodiment, the flowchart of FIG. 4 may further include a step of transmitting, by the server S, some fees based on the tertiary transaction to the first collector as well. That is, the first collector can also receive a portion of the value increase due to resale (third transaction) or a portion of the sales amount of the third transaction as profit. For example, the first collector can receive 15,000 won, which is 3% of the value increase of 500,000 won due to the third transaction, as a profit. Alternatively, the first collector may receive 24,000 won, which is 3% of the sales amount of the third transaction (ie, the third sales amount) of 800,000 won, as a profit. The reason why collectors are paid a portion of the value increase due to resale or a portion of the sales revenue as revenue is to activate the art trading market and to provide collectors with an opportunity to discover artists. to acknowledge contributions.

According to an embodiment, the artist may continuously receive a portion of the value increase as revenue whenever it is resold regardless of the number of resales, but the collector may receive a portion of the value increase due to resale as revenue (for example, , 3 times) may be limited. Referring to FIG. 5, the first collector can receive a profit in the nature of the artist discovery fee from continuous resale only until the 5th transaction occurs, and the second collector can receive a profit in the nature of the artist discovery cost from continuous resale only until the 6th transaction occurs. can

6 illustrates transaction history information of a specific artwork displayed on a user's terminal according to an embodiment. As described above with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4 , the method for trading works of art may include a step of recording, by the server, transaction details for transactions that have occurred whenever a transaction occurs. Accordingly, when users select (eg, touch or click) a specific art work displayed on their terminal T, transaction history, price change history, or artist information may be displayed on the terminal T. The user interface screen of FIG. 6 displays transaction time information for five transactions and information indicating that the value has increased from 300,000 won to 3,800,000 won for a specific art work.
