The utility model relates to electronic systems for storing, transmitting and processing information and can be used to confirm the publication of an object.

Various electronic systems are known containing a server of a publishing station, user terminals and a network configured to collect and transmit data from user terminals (1. Japanese Application No. 2002335514, H04N 8/183, publ. 10/22/2002, 2. US Application No. 2004241 Auger 0826, H04N 8/16, published on January 10, 2004, 3. US Application No. 2004108941826, H04N 5/445, published on January 10, 2004, 4. Japanese Application No. 200413461910, H04N 8/183, published October 14, 2001)

Specialized systems that are designed to solve the problem of copyright protection in the case of television, broadcasting and other broadcasting stations are described. The subscriber can exchange information messages with any of the described systems. This requires compliance with a number of conditions. It is important to be registered as a user of the system and pay a bill for the provision of these information services. It is also necessary that a personal identification code is assigned to the terminal in the system. Such systems implement the principle of controlled subscriber access to a work.

However, the described systems are not able to protect neither personal non-property rights, nor the same individual rights in the case of a group of creators of an author’s product, for example, a composer, poet, producer, director, artist or actors, performers of songs, dances, since the systems do not provide information about the use of work that would be processed by any electronic payment system.

The closest is the device of an electronic system for accounting the use of intellectual property, selected as a prototype. The device comprises a broadcast station server, a copyright system server, made with a database of contracts for the use of intellectual property (IP objects) of copyright holders, terminals of copyright holders, a payment system server and a network configured to transmit data. The copyright holder terminal is connected via a network to the server of the copyright system and to the server of the payment system. The server of the copyright system is made providing registration and storage of the first regulation on the right of the copyright holder to use the IP objects and the amount of his remuneration, and the second regulation on the right of the broadcasting station to broadcast the IP objects of the copyright holder and the total payments to the copyright holder for the use of its IP objects. Also, the server of the copyright system is configured to transmit data about the regulations through the network to the server of the broadcast station and the server of the payment system. The server of the broadcasting station is configured to transmit via an electronic data network the value of the total payments to the server of the payment system, which is designed to provide separate storage of electronic settlement accounts. The server of the certification center and the server of the center of registration of certificates of keys of electronic digital signature are introduced into the system. A server has been introduced for registering the use of IP objects for the broadcast station server and is connected to it via a local network. The server of the certification center is connected via a network to the server of the copyright system and to the server of the certificate registration center of electronic digital signature keys. The server of the certification center is configured to generate and issue public key certificates of electronic digital signature, as well as the ability to maintain a list of valid and retired public key certificates of electronic digital signature. The server of the center of registration of certificates of keys of electronic digital signature is made providing the generation of key pairs of electronic digital signature. It is also configured to receive a public key certificate of electronic digital signature from the server of the certification center. (5. RF patent for utility model No. 60826, H04N 8/183, publ. 01/27/2007 prototype).

With all the advantages, including the speed of processing information data, making electronic payments to broadcasting stations and authors of the product, the interaction of the device with the network, the lack of system should be called the inability to fix the system’s parameters for publishing objects.

The utility model solves the problem of achieving a technical result related to the publication of an electronic document containing both the publication and information about it, a trusted time stamp of publication and an electronic digital signature of the system, with evidence of this fact. Publication can be performed on any tangible medium. The document is stored in a storage device of the system, including on the user’s page. Thus, the user of the system receives proof of both the fact and the date of publication. The evidence may be further used to protect the copyright of the published work.

For the purposes of this utility model, the following terms and definitions are applied:

User - a person with authorized access to the system and interacting with it in full.

A visitor is a person who has authorized access to the system and interacts with it in a limited volume.

Information - data in any form that can be operated on.

Object - information intended for publication, the presentation form of which allows you to enter it into the system.

Publication - an object and information about it published by the system.

Proof - an electronic file generated by the system containing the publication, etc.

EDS - an electronic digital signature by which evidence is signed.

To solve the problem with the achievement of the specified technical result, an electronic system for confirming the fact of publication of an object with automatic dating is proposed, capable of solving outwardly similar to the known, but essentially different tasks.

First of all, the system solves the problem of reliably fixing a person who applied to the system for publishing an object, fixing an object intended for publication, fixing the date of such publication. The system transfers data from user-filled forms to its databases for processing and prepares for publication a file containing the provided set of data extracted from these databases.

The system supplies the file with an electronic digital signature and transfers it for publication on the Internet to the system site or other agreed site. The file can also be published on other tangible media, for example, on paper or on an external storage device.

The system contains an interface for working with databases: search for publications, viewing, copying, printing ... Performs other necessary actions, including accounting for financial transactions.

To this end, the system comprises a publishing server, a payment system server, a certification authority server and a data transmission network with which the listed servers are connected and to which at least one user terminal is connected.

In accordance with the proposed solution, the system further comprises a trusted time server and an electronic digital signature server. Both servers are connected both to the server of the certification center and to the publication server, configured to generate an electronic file, publish this file and then store it in its storage device on the user page. And the server of the payment system is configured to take into account the fact of payment by the user of the publication of this file.

It is important that as a user terminal, a terminal based on a stationary telephone or any other communication device, or a terminal based on a cellular network device, or a computer-based terminal can be used.

Interestingly, either a wired network, or a cable network, or a wireless network, or a cellular network, or the Internet can be used as a network.

The modern elemental base provides rich opportunities for the implementation of the proposed system. One of the options for its implementation is presented below.

Features of the implementation of this utility model are illustrated by one of the options for its implementation with reference to the attached drawing, which depicts a functional diagram of the claimed system. Other options for its implementation are possible.

An electronic system for confirming the publication of an object with automatic dating contains at least one publication server 1. The system includes server 2 of the payment system and server 3 of the certification center. The servers are interconnected by a network 4, configured to receive and transmit data, to which at least one user terminal 5 is connected. The electronic system further comprises a trusted time server 6 and an electronic digital signature server 7, each of which is connected to the server 3 of the certification center and to the publication server 1.

The publication server 1 is configured to generate and store an electronic file. And server 2 of the payment system - with the possibility of taking into account the fact of payment for its publication.

Server 3 certification center is designed to perform a number of service functions. So, through a network, it is connected to the server 1 for publishing the system and with services external to the system, for example, with a center for registering key certificates of electronic digital signatures. The server 3 of the certification center is configured to generate and issue public key certificates of electronic digital signature, as well as the ability to maintain a list of valid and retired public key certificates of electronic digital signature. The performance of these functions is necessary to obtain a reliable electronic digital signature system.

As the user terminal 5, a terminal based on a fixed communication apparatus can be used. Such a terminal is easy to perform on a computer basis. The system can be equipped with a significant number of user terminals 5, but at least one of them must be connected to the publication server 1 and to the server 2 of the payment system.

And as network 4, either a wired network, or the Internet, or a cable network, or a wireless network, or a cellular network is used.

An electronic system for confirming the publication of an object with automatic dating works like this:

The user gains access to the system on the publishing server 1 using the terminal 5 connected to it through the network 4 in order to publish an object that meets the criteria of the system. It fills in the appropriate information (a set of adequate electronic signals - computer codes) of the field and marks presented by the system interface in the form of an input form. Places information about itself, the object itself, information about the object in the database of the system, enters other details. Pays for the service, accepts the terms of the user agreement and initiates the publication of the object.

An object will be published if it meets the conditions defined by the system, for example, if payment is credited, if the type, size, file extension corresponding to the object meets the requirements of the system. The system servers verify that the conditions set in the system are met. If all necessary conditions are met, the publication server 1 generates a proof in the form of an electronic file containing data about the user, the published object itself and information about him, other provided data. It requests the publication date (server 6) and digital signature (servers 7 and 3) from the corresponding servers of the system, receives them, and adds it to the proof. Then sends it for publication and storage.

After publication, the generated evidence is stored as an electronic file in the server’s storage device. The user retains the right to access the file for the entire storage period. The file may also be accessible to other users and visitors of the system subject to certain formalities.

Terminal 5 of the user can use visitors who are deprived of the right to enter data and display evidence to enter and exit the system, view published evidence and other information stored in the system.

The use of trusted time server 6 allows you to reliably correlate each fact of publication of a file generated by the system on any tangible medium with its publication time. The server 7 of the system provides this file with an electronic digital signature regardless of the user, which allows the user to obtain legally valid proof of publication.

The user can successfully apply the evidence issued by an independent system to confirm the date of publication on the Internet and on other material media of various types of information, including graphic and other images, texts, video and audio messages.

The task of expanding the functionality of the system was solved successfully. A technical result has been achieved related to the publication, with the confirmation of this fact in the form of an electronic document containing the publication and information about it, a trusted time stamp of publication and an electronic digital signature of the resource.

The publication can be performed on any tangible medium and stored both in the system and in the user.
