The invention relates to methods for disseminating information on the Internet, in which a first Internet user connects by means of his personal device via the Internet to a source server on which a second user's information, which requires dissemination, is located. The invention can be used by network users for disseminating content and prompting such dissemination. According to the invention, proposed is an information dissemination module designed such that, when a request to disseminate information is submitted to said module, a second user's information is automatically copied from a source server to a plurality of recipient servers to which a first user has access. Furthermore, the source server and the plurality of recipient servers are automatically connected to a cluster of blockchain servers which contain a first module for verifying whether the information was actually copied from the source server to the plurality of recipient servers of the first user, a second module for verifying whether the copied information was viewed by a plurality of third users, a third module for generating a chain of blockchain records in a blockchain data base for all actions, and a computing module. An efficiency parameter is then automatically calculated for the dissemination of the information on the Internet by the first user.

Description

METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION ON THE NETWORK

THE INTERNET

The technical field to which the invention relates.

The invention relates to data processing methods, and more particularly to methods of disseminating information on the Internet, in which the first Internet user communicates through his personal device via the Internet with the source server on which the second user information that needs to be distributed, and can be used by network users to distribute content and stimulate such distribution ..

The following terms are used in this description:

Server (eng server) - an electronic device that performs service functions at the request of the client, giving him access to certain resources. For the purposes of this description, we consider a server that has a permanent connection to a federated network that can transmit data to the server from client devices _^ The server can process this data and transfer the result of processing back to the client device.

The combined network, as well as all connections between all modules and blocks, include various topologies, configurations, and layouts of the components of the interconnect, configured to interconnect corporate, global, and local area networks, and includes, without limitation, traditional wired, Wireless, satellite, optical and equivalent network technologies. Advantageously, the Internet is typically used as an integrated network.

A user's personal device is any form of computing platform that connects to a network, such as an integrated network, and allows interaction with application programs. Typical examples of individual client devices include, but are not limited to, stationary and portable personal computers, “smart” cell phones, (in English, a smartphone), laptop computers, including tablet computers, lightweight clients, workstations, "non-intelligent" terminals connected to the application server, as well as their various layouts and configurations, that is, both physical devices for interacting in communication interaction systems, and virtual devices implemented on programmable computer devices and having a software interface for implementing communication functions . Mostly, this is a smartphone (smart phone, that is, a cell phone that includes the functions of a computer device) that has a touch screen or tablet computer, and similar devices - smart watches, glasses, etc. Often such devices are portable in nature, allowing them to be carried with them.

Blockchain — a chain of transaction blocks — a chain of formed transaction blocks built according to certain rules and stored in a distributed database.

A cluster is a certain number of servers united in a group and forming a single resource.

Token - any of the funds used to pay within the chain of transaction blocks, cryptocurrency, virtual money, etc.

The level of technology.

On the Internet, various sites publish on their pages information that is often of interest to users, including users of social networks, blogs, forums, communities and other user associations, and some users often want to share this information with other users of social networks in view of their simple interest and the desire to share this information, as well as, for example, for a fee paid by the owners of the promoted sites for the promotion of Internet content. For this, there are special virtual buttons located on the sites (“share”, “like”, “share”, etc.), which provide the ability to distribute information from the site by random or specially selected users by clicking on these buttons through the keyboard buttons, mice and other devices. After clicking on these buttons, some information from the site is posted on special user pages in user communities, on social networks, in personal blogs, on personal or other sites with or without comments from these users. Some sites pay information for the distribution of information to users in the form of money, points, bonuses, discounts on goods / services or otherwise encourage Internet users to distribute information from their pages in the manner described above. Payment is made using payment systems of the Internet or otherwise, if the remuneration is not paid in cash.

To simplify the process, there are automation blocks for promoting Internet content (for example, the so-called link exchange), connected on the one hand to one or many servers on which the resources are located, and on the other hand to one or many servers on which there is one or multiple social networks containing pages or personal sites of users.

A disadvantage of existing solutions is the limited functionality of disseminating information on the Internet, since information on the Internet is implemented within only one social network and there is no automation of the process of disseminating information on the Internet, and there is no way to control the quality of information distribution.

Disclosure of the invention.

Based on this original observation, the present invention mainly aims to propose a method for disseminating information on the Internet, in which the first Internet user communicates via his personal device via the Internet with the source server on which the second user information is located, which must be distributed, allowing at least to smooth out the above drawback, namely, to ensure automation and acceleration of the dissemination of information throughout and the Internet, while the quality control of its distribution.

To achieve this goal

• on the source server there is an information distribution module made in such a way that when sending one request for information distribution from a personal device of the first Internet user to it, duplication occurs automatically the second user's information from the source server to the set of incoming servers to which the first user has access, for which

• on the personal device of the first user, a database containing data on the list of incoming servers of the first user and identification information for accessing them is located;

• send a signal to the information distribution module from the personal device of the first user,

• automatically duplicate the information of the second user from the source server to the set of incoming servers to which the first user has access,

• automatically connect the source server and many incoming servers to the cluster of blockchain servers, on which the first module is located to check whether the information from the source server to the many incoming servers of the first user was really copied,

• in the cluster of blockchain servers, there is a second module for checking whether there were scans of duplicated information of the second user from the set of incoming servers of the first user by many third users,

• in the cluster of blockchain servers, there is a third module for generating a blockchain chain of records in the blockchain database of all actions,

• in the cluster of blockchain servers, there is a computing module connected to the first, second and third modules,

• when sending a signal to the information distribution module from the personal device of the first user and then duplicating the information of the second user from the source server to the set of incoming servers that the first user has access to, the parameter for the efficiency of information distribution on the Internet is automatically calculated using the computing module of the blockchain server cluster first user and save this value in the database of distribution efficiency parameters of all ervyh users.

Thanks to such advantageous characteristics, it becomes possible to disseminate information by the personal device of the first user, by sending a single request, for example, activating a graphic element on the screen of the personal device of the first user, to source server. Information automatically placed on the outgoing server is duplicated on many incoming servers, to which the first user has access. This can be his personal pages on social networks, posts on forums, message boards. But the effectiveness of disseminating information also depends on the relevance of this information on the set of incoming servers that the first user has access to, to analyze this efficiency, a cluster of blockchain servers serves to verify the fact of the placement of this information and the fact of access to it by third users.

That is, it becomes possible, by activating only one graphic element in the form, for example, of a button displayed on a user device, to automatically send a signal that allows:

- post immediately on all personal pages of the user distributed information;

- give the user the opportunity to comment on it in order to make the distribution process, if necessary, non-public;

- automate how these procedures

additionally calculate the parameter of the efficiency of information distribution on the Internet by the first user.

There is an embodiment of the invention in which internal tokens are distributed among first users in a cluster of blockchain servers in proportion to their information distribution efficiency parameters.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it becomes possible to additionally provide material incentives for the first user, for example, to charge them tokens in proportion to their information dissemination efficiency parameters.

There is a variant of the invention in which internal tokens are distributed among first users after the retention time necessary to check whether the information from the source server was actually copied to the set of incoming servers of the first user and whether there were scanned duplicated information of the second user from the set of incoming servers of the first user by many third users during hold time.

Thanks to this advantageous characteristic, it is possible to enter and adjust the retention time necessary to verify that whether the information was copied from the source server to the many incoming servers of the first user, and whether there were scans of the duplicated information of the second user from the many incoming servers of the first user to many third users during the retention time.

If the retention time is of the order of minutes or hours, the method will quickly analyze the effectiveness of information dissemination, but this analysis will decrease accuracy, since the third users who apply for the disseminated information after the specified retention time will not be taken into account. If the retention time is of the order of days, the method will slowly analyze the effectiveness of information dissemination, but this analysis will ensure high accuracy, since third users who have applied for the disseminated information for a long retention time will be taken into account.

As already mentioned, you can use the Internet and similar networks as a network, for example: Fidonet, Tor, local area network, campus network, city network, wide area network, telephone network, cellular network, wired network, wireless network, anonymous network, file sharing network, satellite network.

As the input servers of the first user, you can use the personal pages of the first user, on which the first user has the opportunity to post the distributed content of the content distributor, and you can also use the page of the first user on the social network, designed to post entries on behalf of the first user, and website, social network, social network account, personal profile, blog, microblogging, electronic media, Internet portal, Internet ma azin, bulletin board, site directory, search service, postal service, web forum, blog service, file sharing service, cloud data storage, data editing service, photo hosting, video hosting, social bookmarking service, social catalog, social library, geosocial network, information system, Internet program, site editor, content management system, forum (blog, conference) branch, channel on the video hosting resource, electrode announcement, chat message, comment.

As a graphic active element contained on the source server, you can use one of the following: button, flag, icon, text symbol, word, text, label, icon, list, menu, dialog box, modal window, panel, tab, scroll bar, slider, status bar, tooltip, widget, banner, plug-in, image, picture, photo, video.

As a user device, you can use one of: a personal computer, a mobile computer, a laptop, a tablet computer, an Internet tablet, an e-book, a mobile Internet device, a mobile phone, a cell phone, a satellite phone, a touchscreen smartphone, a game console, a game console, set-top box, smart watch and other wearable electronics.

A brief description of the drawings.

Other distinguishing features and advantages of the invention clearly follow from the description below for illustration and not being restrictive, with reference to the accompanying figure, in which:

- figure 1 schematically depicts a functional diagram of a system that implements a method of disseminating information on the Internet, according to the invention.

- Figure 2 schematically depicts a sequence of steps of a method for distributing information on the Internet, according to the invention

In FIG. 1, according to the positions shown:

1 - personal device of the first user;

11 is a database of the list of incoming servers of the first user and identification information for access to them;

2 - the Internet;

3 - the source server on which the information that is distributed;

31 - module for automatic distribution of information;

4 - incoming servers on which the user's personal pages are located,

5 - a cluster of blockchain servers, 51 is a module for checking whether the information from the source server to the many incoming servers of the first user was actually copied

52 is a module for checking whether views of the duplicated information of the second user from a plurality of incoming servers 4 of the first user by a plurality of third users have been

53 - a module for generating a blockchain chain of records in a blockchain database of all actions,

54 is a computing module.

55 - database of distribution efficiency parameters of all first users

According to figure 1, the method of promoting content is that the first user of the Internet is connected through his personal device 1 via the Internet 2 to the source server 3, on which is located the information of the second user, which must be distributed. The information distribution module 31 is located on the source server 3 in such a way that when one request is sent to distribute information from the personal device 1 of the first Internet user, the second user’s information is automatically duplicated from the source server 3 to the set of incoming servers 4, which the first user has access to. To do this, on the personal device 1 of the first user have a database 11 containing data on the list of incoming servers of the first user and identification information for access to them. Next, a signal is sent to the information distribution module 31 from the personal device 1 of the first user. Automatically duplicate the information of the second user from the source server 3 to the set of incoming servers 4, to which the first user has access. The source server 3 and the set of incoming servers 4 are automatically connected to the cluster of blockchain servers 5, on which the first module 51 for checking whether the information from the source server to the set of incoming servers of the first user is actually copied. In the cluster of blockchain servers 5, there is a second module 52 for verifying whether the duplicated information of the second user from the plurality of incoming servers 4 of the first user has been scanned by a plurality of third users. In the cluster of blockchain servers 5, a third module 53 for forming a blockchain chain of records in the blockchain database of all actions is located. In cluster blockchain servers 5 have a computing module 54 connected to the first, second, and third modules.

When a signal is sent to the information distribution module 31 from the personal device 1 of the first user and the subsequent duplication of information of the second user from the source server 3 to the set of incoming servers 4 that the first user has access to, the efficiency parameter is automatically calculated by the computing module 54 of the blockchain server cluster 5 distribution of information on the Internet by the first user and store this value in a database of 55 performance parameters distributed I first of all users.

The implementation of the invention.

Stage A1. The second user, who wished to distribute information, places it on the source server 3, installs module 4 for automatic distribution of information there. And in addition, it is registered on the cluster of blockchain servers 5 and optionally pre-buys a token package.

Stage A2. The first user who wishes to participate in the dissemination of information using his device 1 through the network 2 visits the source server 3, on which the information that is distributed is located.

Stage AZ. The first user begins to disseminate information by activating the automatic information distribution module 4, through, for example, a graphical active element displayed on the user device 1. The user can be shown the conditions, but not necessarily, on which the distribution of the distributed content should take place, for example, the need to leave a comment .

Stage A4. If the user accepts the conditions or they are absent, then the request to participate in the promotion of content is automatically processed by the module 4 automatic promotion of content.

Stage A5. Automatically there is a duplication of information of the second user from the source server 3 to the set of incoming servers 4, to which the first user has access, for example, to their pages on social networks, forums, blogs, instant messengers. Each link is unique. In this case, each first user with his consent is automatically created Yu

registration record in the cluster of blockchain servers 5.. Each first user, through the computing module 54, is assigned an initial efficiency parameter, which is recorded in the database 55 of the distribution efficiency parameters of all first users. It can be immediately calculated (depending on the number of his friends, the quality of the audience, user activity, etc.). This database subsequently receives data on the effectiveness of information distribution by the first user. Optionally, tokens can be accrued, which are accrued depending on the assigned rating and the number of further clicks of the targeted audience on the published link.

Stage A6. The efficiency parameter is calculated, and the tokens associated with it are first accrued to the first users immediately after the information has been disseminated (if the site is ready to accrue tokens not only for transitions, but also for sharing) and are frozen for a holding time, conditionally for a day. In addition, the user is awarded tokens for clicks on a common link, in accordance with the targeting parameters set by the site.

Stage A7. Using the first check module 51, a check is made to see if the information from the source server has actually been copied to the multiple incoming servers of the first user. Using the second module 52, it is checked whether the duplicate information of the second user from the plurality of incoming servers 4 of the first user were actually scanned by the plurality of third users. Using the third module 53, a blockchain chain of records is formed into a blockchain database of all actions.

Stage A7. The distribution efficiency parameter of all first users is calculated, and tokens are recalculated depending on it.

Example 1: if the first user distributed information to his three inbound servers (for example, social networks) in one click, he will not receive 3 tokens, but more - depending on the efficiency of distribution on each social network. For example, 2 tokens for the first and second social networks and 1 token for the third social network, for a total of 5 tokens.

Example 2: for example, for 100 purchased tokens, the site received 28 shares. Of these, 15 are high-quality (that is, minimally high-quality for 1 token), and 13 a class above — high-quality (middle and high). Thus, the cost of one token can be equated to the cost of one minimally effective (high-quality) act of disseminating information. For 100 tokens, the site can receive 10,000 shareings, but effective (paid) of them will be no more than 100

To pay the rewards of the first users, the distributor of information - the advertiser - transfers ERC20 tokens to his internal wallet in the cluster of blockchain servers 5. The amount of funds corresponding to the current indicators of user activity will be frozen on the advertiser's internal account for the period of checking the actions of the first users. After the cluster of blockchain servers 5 receives confirmation of data sharing information and backlinks, the cluster of blockchain servers 5 transfers tokens to the internal accounts of the first users of the system.

If the user’s actions do not receive confirmation or transitions that the cluster of blockchain servers 5 considers to be of low quality (for example, obtained by cheating), the advertiser’s tokens will be unfrozen and available for subsequent use.

At the user's request, tokens are transferred from the internal account in the system to any external wallet, for example, Etherium. To make a withdrawal of funds, the user account must have an amount exceeding the size of the commission of the Ethereum network for the transaction.

In the blockchain network, special classes of transactions can be implemented, some of them may contain additional data encrypted to ensure the confidentiality of users and site owners:

Transfer transaction - transfer of tokens from one address to another. It is used to replenish the accounts of advertisers from cryptocurrency exchanges and withdraw funds from users to exchanges.

Link transaction - reward the user for linking social profiles. Contains encrypted information about the associated user profile.

Distribution reward transaction - transfer of reward from the advertiser to the first users for the information dissemination action. This transaction contains additional encrypted data about the profiles of the first users who shared information from the advertiser's site. The advertiser will be able to view this data using the private key that will be generated during registration in the system.

Referral reward transaction - transfer remuneration from the advertiser to the first users for reverse clicks on common links. The transaction will contain metadata about referrals to the site using user links. Only the user can view this data using his private key.

Technical transactions necessary for the operation of a DPOS network, such as nominating a delegate or voting for him.

Additional data recorded in the transaction will provide reliable and secure data storage that will allow all parties to the processes to obtain reliable information at any time.

To work with the nodes of the blockchain network, the HTTP, REST, API, and WebSocket protocols can be used. This allows you to choose the appropriate connection option and create cross-platform clients for interacting with the blockchain network.

Due to the performance of the DPoS network, all transactions will be carried out very quickly. To prevent unwanted user actions, remuneration will be transferred through a smart contract. Such a smart contract will determine the authenticity of the user’s actions and either confirm the transfer, or require additional checks on the cluster side of the blockchain servers 5, or may reject the transaction if it is justified.

In the cluster of blockchain servers 5, delegates will be elected who support network nodes and sign blocks. Thus, token holders choose trusted people who have technical competence and have server capacities to maintain the network. Payment for the work of delegates will be provided at the expense of the reserve fund (reserve pool of tokens), this allows you to set a zero commission for transactions on the network.

Key network parameters are changed by delegates, who are also selected by voting of token holders. Each token holder can become a delegate. Election of delegates by voting token holders. Thus, transparency of the blockchain and a balance of interests of all parties are achieved.

Industrial applicability.

The proposed method of disseminating information on the Internet can be carried out by a specialist in practice and, when implemented, ensure the implementation of the declared purpose, which allows us to conclude that the criterion of "industrial applicability" for the invention is met.

In accordance with the proposed invention, an experimental system for distributing information on the Internet was manufactured, that is, tested servers specially configured to process all data.

Tests of the experimental system have shown that it provides the ability to:

- ease of integration: all elements and modules can be easily integrated into any Internet servers,

built-in targeting: servers that have installed information dissemination modules will be able to target users according to a number of criteria - both “scattering” content and clicking on links — to optimize the size of payments (charging tokens to users) and fair charging of tokens, for example, only for transitions corresponding to necessary criteria

- the first users who disseminate information will be automatically evaluated and ranked within the cluster of blockchain servers 5, depending on the level of their activity on social networks (number of friends / subscribers, number of publications / reposts, etc.), which in turn will affect the amount of remuneration accrued to each specific user, providing the opportunity for popular users to receive decent high compensation,

- protection against cheating: in order to avoid abuse, in the cluster of blockchain servers 5 there is a mechanism for protecting against bots and cheating, limiting the number and size of paid multisharing per day / week / month - will effectively counteract easy money lovers, - ease of use: the first user, in order to start distributing information using the information distribution module installed on any different servers, does not need to learn anything new and plunge into the world of blockchain, tokens and cryptotechnologies— at the first stage, the first user makes actions to distribute interesting content (as well as the old sharing buttons), with the only difference being that due to the appearance of the information distribution module, now it’s easier to do and tray, plus, the user will see his growing balance of tokens in the cluster of blockchain servers 5, which in the future, with a conscious transition to the next stage of interaction with the cluster of blockchain servers 5, will give the user the opportunity to get a personal private key and access to the balance for token transfers on crypto-exchanges and / or their withdrawal to fiat.

Thus, in this invention, the goal is achieved - to ensure automation and accelerate the dissemination of information on the Internet while controlling the quality of its distribution.
