Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and system for providing content for copyright protection regarding content provided as an image. The method for providing content according to the present invention may include the steps of: extracting a graphic object corresponding to a preset standard among a plurality of graphic objects constituting the content; performing editing of the content based on the extracted graphic object based on user information regarding a user account logged into the user terminal; and providing the edited content to the user terminal.

In paragraph 8, The method further includes the step of matching the code value assigned to each of the above-mentioned editing target object, the plurality of replacement images, and the user information with each other and storing them as decoding information. A method for providing content characterized by extracting user information inserted into the leaked content based on the decoding information when the above content is leaked externally.
In paragraph 1, A method for providing content characterized in that the above-mentioned editing target object includes a face graphic object.
In paragraph 1, In the step of providing the above content, For each of the multiple user terminals that received a request to view the same content, A method for providing content characterized by providing content that reflects different alternative images based on user information of a user account logged into each user terminal.
In a content delivery system, Among multiple objects constituting the content, the object to be edited is identified according to pre-set criteria, and Using an AI generation model, generate a replacement image corresponding to the above-mentioned object to be edited, and Based on user information regarding a user account logged into a user terminal, the user information is inserted into the content using the alternative image, and A content providing system comprising a control unit that provides content containing the above user information to the user terminal.
A program that is executed by one or more processes in an electronic device and stored on a computer-readable recording medium, The above program is, A step of generating a replacement image corresponding to the object to be edited using an AI generation model; A step of inserting the user information into the content using the alternative image based on the user information for the user account logged into the user terminal; and A program stored on a computer-readable recording medium characterized by including instructions for performing the step of providing content containing the above user information to the user terminal.

Description

Method and System for Providing Contents The present invention relates to a method and system for providing content containing information related to a user in order to protect the copyright of the content. As technology advances, the utility of digital devices is increasing. In particular, electronic devices (such as smartphones and tablet PCs) are equipped with a variety of functions, including not only communication capabilities like phone calls and text messaging, but also the ability to surf the web using the internet, listen to music, and watch video content. Driven by the popularization of these electronic devices, the consumption of content is surging, and a representative example of such content is content composed of visualized images (e.g., webtoons). As the consumption of such content increases, various methods to protect the copyright of content are being actively researched. Notably, methods to protect the copyright of content by providing content using digital watermarks and fingerprints have been announced. Recently, there have been numerous cases of copyright infringement involving content, where it is illegally captured and filmed, edited into videos or images, and then leaked. Accordingly, there is a need for a method to insert user-related information into content in order to protect the copyright of content consisting of visual information (e.g., images). FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a content provision system according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing content according to the present invention. FIGS. 3a and FIGS. 3b are conceptual diagrams illustrating a process for providing content with user information inserted in the present invention. FIGS. 4, FIGS. 5, FIGS. 6, and FIGS. 7 are conceptual diagrams for explaining a method of inserting user information into content in the present invention. FIGS. 8a, FIGS. 8b, and FIGS. 9 are conceptual diagrams illustrating different processes for providing content with user information inserted in the present invention. Hereinafter, embodiments disclosed in this specification will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Identical or similar components are assigned the same reference number regardless of the drawing symbols, and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted. The suffixes "module" and "part" used for components in the following description are assigned or used interchangeably solely for the ease of drafting the specification and do not have distinct meanings or roles in themselves. Furthermore, in describing the embodiments disclosed in this specification, if it is determined that a detailed description of related prior art could obscure the essence of the embodiments disclosed in this specification, such detailed description will be omitted. Additionally, the attached drawings are intended only to facilitate understanding of the embodiments disclosed in this specification; the technical concept disclosed in this specification is not limited by the attached drawings, and it should be understood that they include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions that fall within the spirit and technical scope of the present invention. Terms including ordinal numbers, such as first, second, etc., may be used to describe various components, but said components are not limited by said terms. These terms are used solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. When it is stated that one component is "connected" or "connected" to another component, it should be understood that while it may be directly connected or connected to that other component, there may also be other components in between. On the other hand, when it is stated that one component is "directly connected" or "directly connected" to another component, it should be understood that there are no other components in between. A singular expression includes a plural expression unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this application, terms such as “comprising” or “having” are intended to specify the existence of the features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, and should be understood as not precluding the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof. The present invention relates to a method and system for providing content that can provide original content edited differently based on user information, so as to be able to identify a leaker who illegally leaks (distributes) content by copying it (e.g., filming, recording, or capturing). As content consumption increases, cases of illegal distribution of content (particularly paid product types of content, accessed via viewing rights or electronic currency payments such as cookies) are continuing. Although active research is being conducted on technologies (e.g., watermarks) t
