Abstract
The present disclosure provides a control method that is executed by one of a plurality of servers in a content management system that includes: the plurality of servers that own distributed ledgers; and a storing device that stores content, the control method including: acquiring transaction data that indicates that a providing device has provided content and includes at least identification information of the content provided by the providing device; and storing the transaction data acquired into the distributed ledgers of the plurality of servers.
Claims11
A control method that is executed by a content management system comprising:
- providing, by a providing device, content to a storing device;
- generating, by a management device, transaction data that indicates that the providing device has provided the content to the storing device, the transaction data including at least (i) identification information which uniquely identifies the content provided by the providing device, (ii) an identifier for identifying a provider who provided the content, and (iii) an electronic signature of the management device that generated the transaction data;
- and
- acquiring and storing, by a server, the transaction data into distributed ledgers,
- wherein the content provided by the providing device includes at least one of text data, image data, moving image data, or a program,
- wherein the content management system further includes a token management server that manages transmission and reception of tokens,
- wherein the token management server determines whether or not a token has been paid from a user who provided the content by using the providing device to an administrator of the storing device,
- wherein, when it is determined that the token has not been paid, the providing device inhibits the storing device from providing the content, and
- wherein the token indicates a reward for the administrator of the storing device to store the content.
A content management system comprising:
- a computer including a processor and a memory having recorded thereon a program for being executed by the processor,
- wherein the computer generates transaction data that indicates that a providing device that provides content to a storing device has provided the content to the storing device, the transaction data including at least (i) identification information which uniquely identifies the content provided by the providing device, (ii) an identifier for identifying a provider who provided the content, and (iii) an electronic signature of the computer that generated the transaction data;
- and
- a server that acquires the transaction data and stores the transaction data acquired into distributed ledgers,
- wherein the content provided by the providing device includes at least one of text data, image data, moving image data, or a program,
- wherein the content management system further includes a token management server that manages transmission and reception of tokens,
- wherein the token management server determines whether or not a token has been paid from a user who provided the content by using the providing device to an administrator of the storing device,
- wherein, when it is determined that the token has not been paid, the providing device inhibits the storing device from providing the content, and
- wherein the token indicates a reward for the administrator of the storing device to store the content.
