This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0184680 filed on Dec. 22, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates generally to a drone content service platform and method, and more particularly to a drone content service platform and method in which images or pieces of video content acquired directly by image acquirers using the cameras of image acquisition terminals mounted on drones can be automatically uploaded to a blockchain-based platform server, the platform server can issue and manage non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for pieces of content and mediate transactions between image acquirers and consumers in a one-to-one sales or one-to-many auction manner, and consumers can purchase a plurality of pieces of content managed by the platform server through payment using currency or coins.
Drones refer to unmanned aerial vehicles that can be controlled using radio waves. Such drones are each equipped with a camera, a sensor, and a communication system, and the weight and size thereof range from 25 g to 1200 kg in various manners.
Although such drones were initially developed for military purposes, they have recently been used in various fields such as shooting, surveillance, delivery, pesticide spraying, and air quality measurement. In addition, drones are reborn as low-cost kidult products, so that not only companies but also individuals can purchase drones without significant burden, with the result that various images can be acquired using cameras provided on the drones.
However, the conventional art is problematic in that since there is no drone content platform that can provide content, acquired directly by an image acquirer using a camera mounted on a drone, in a timely manner in response to a request from a consumer, consumers cannot be provided with high-quality content.
Furthermore, the conventional art is problematic in that since a consumer illegitimately copies and distributes content after purchasing the content through the drone content platform, the copyright on the content is infringed and also the profits of an image acquirer who sells the content is deteriorated.
