Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method, a service server and a computer-readable medium for matching a music usage log (cue sheet) and a copyright holder, and more particularly, to a method, a service server and a computer-readable medium for matching a music usage log (cue sheet) and a copyright holder, in which the service server includes a master DB including a plurality of right logs, receives a usage log for music usage from a streaming server including a monitoring server, derives a preliminary right log by preprocessing the usage log, calculates a music name matching rate, an artist name matching rate, and an album name matching rate based on the preliminary right log and the right log to match the preliminary right log and the right log, and adds up a record value of the preliminary right log to a cumulative record value of the right log. 2. Description of the Related Art Music refers to digital music data that may be downloaded or live-streamed so as to be played. In order to create the music, a songwriter, a lyricist, an arranger, a producer, a performer, and the like may participate, and have copyrights or neighboring rights. As they hold the copyrights or the neighboring rights, when the music is used, they may have a right to get a settlement for an income caused by music usage. In commercial media such as broadcast programs, advertisements, and movies, copyrighted music has been widely used, and the music has been streamed by many people through a streaming service. According to Spotify, which is a music streaming medium, during 2021, K-pop music was streamed a monthly average of 7.97 billion times or more worldwide. Accordingly, there is a demand for a system capable of accurately settling an income generated by usage of a large quantity of music. In particular, reproduction rights (downloading), transmission rights (streaming), and performing rights (play) are important rights in the online music industry, and it is important to collect usage and sales logs to perform settlement and distribution. In addition, royalties for broadcasting are also a main source of income for copyright holders, so that it is also important to monitor copyrighted works used in the broadcasting to perform settlement and distribution. In order to perform music income settlement, it is necessary to know the number of times the music has been used and a right holder of the music. However, there are many difficulties in retrieving the right holder of the music. For example, a title of the same music and the same artist may be variously notated according to distributors or the like, and even the same music may belong to various albums. Therefore, in order to accurately retrieve the right holder of the music to get a settlement for an income, there is a demand for a system capable of receiving information on usage of the music, preprocessing the received information, and matching the preprocessed information with prestored information on the music. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method, a service server and a computer-readable medium for matching a music usage log (cue sheet) and a copyright holder, and more particularly, to a method, a service server and a computer-readable medium for matching a music usage log (cue sheet) and a copyright holder, in which the service server includes a master DB including a plurality of right logs, receives a usage log for music usage from a streaming server, derives a preliminary right log by preprocessing the usage log, calculates a music name matching rate, an artist name matching rate, and an album name matching rate based on the preliminary right log and the right log to match the preliminary right log and the right log, and adds up a record value of the preliminary right log to a cumulative record value of the right log. To achieve the object described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for matching a music usage log (cue sheet) and a copyright holder, which is performed by a service server, wherein the service server includes a master DB, the master DB stores a plurality of right logs identified by a music copyright holder of right music, each of the right logs includes a right music name, a right artist name, and a right album name of the right music, and a cumulative record value obtained by accumulating a record value, which is a number of usage times of the right music, on a monthly basis, and the service server performs: a usage log reception step of receiving a usage log including a music name, an artist name, an album name, a usage date, and a record value for used music from a streaming server; a preliminary right log derivation step of deriving a preliminary right log including a preliminary music name, a preliminary artist name, a preliminary album name, a usage month, and a record value, which are obtained by preprocessing the usage
