The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for online contents registration and transaction based on a user active selection. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a method of consuming voice contents used for broadcasting and entertainment contents through active casting by the autonomy of individual users or recipients, rather than casting by a producer, a method for work registration and online transaction of a manuscript for dubbing therefor, and a method relating to distribution and transaction of voice works generated through the online transaction, in particular, related to documentaries, films, animations, music, etc.
Conventionally, cultural contents such as broadcasting programs or music that require voice dubbing or vocal voice have a structure in which viewers and recipients have no choice but to accept or consume a final finished version, which is one resulting product, derived by a final dubbing job on an intermediate resulting product randomly created by a professional producer who exclusively owns all production sources, which are elements constituting contents, by editing the elements, through casting, which is also the exclusive rights of the producer.
The existing voice contents supply and acceptance method has a problem in that choices of consumers are extremely limited, and many sources used for editing are wasteful since only some of the sources are also limitedly used during an editing process. Moreover, as described above, the existing method has an unreasonable and unproductive distribution structure of supplying and consuming only one contents to the market as the final result produced by the one-sided taste of the producer who has all the rights.
The present disclosure is directed to providing a system and method to solve the above problems through transaction policies and methods for granting voice and vocal casting rights to a real user or a consumer who is a recipient, not to a producer, to induce production and supply of various resulting products, and furthermore, registering and easily transacting a dubbing manuscript and voice casting data online so that more diverse works may be produced.
In one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for online contents registration including registering a contents manuscript in a contents management server; registering a voice source generated by a voice actor based on the contents manuscript in the contents management server; providing the voice source to a user through the contents management server; registering video contents created by the user based on the voice source to the contents management server; and distributing profits generated based on consumption or distribution of the created video contents.
The method may further include purchasing, by the voice actor, the contents manuscript; and paying royalties to a registrant of the contents manuscript based on the purchasing of the contents manuscript.
The purchasing, by the voice actor, of the contents manuscript may include generating a serial number related to the contents manuscript, and determining whether to register the voice source generated by the voice actor based on the received serial number when registering the voice source in the contents management server.
The contents manuscript may be a broadcast manuscript, and the video contents created by the user may be created based on a plurality of voice sources generated by a plurality of voice actors.
The distributing of the profits generated based on consumption or distribution of the created video contents may include paying royalties to the voice actor.
The voice source generated by the voice actor may be a vocal source, and the video contents created by the user may be music contents.
The providing of the voice source to the user through the contents management server may include providing music recorded (MR) together with the voice source to the user, and generating the music contents based on a combination of a plurality of vocal sources by the user.
In another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a contents management server for online contents registration and management including a contents manuscript registration management unit configured to register a contents manuscript; a voice source registration management unit configured to register a voice source generated by a voice actor based on the contents manuscript; a user information management unit configured to provide the voice source to a user; a contents registration management unit configured to register video contents created by the user based on the voice source; and a sales processing unit configured to distribute profits generated based on consumption or distribution of the created video contents.
The voice actor may purchase the contents manuscript through the contents manuscript registration management unit and pay royalties to a registrant of the contents manuscript based on purchase of the contents manuscript through the sales processing unit.
The contents manuscript registration management unit may be configured to generate a serial number related to the contents manuscript when the voice actor purchases the contents manuscript, and the voice source registration management unit is configured to determine whether to register the voice source generated by the voice actor based on the received serial number when registering the voice source.
The contents manuscript may be a broadcast manuscript, and the video contents created by the user may be created based on a plurality of voice sources generated by a plurality of voice actors.
The sales processing unit may be configured to pay royalties to the voice actor when distributing profits generated based on consumption or distribution of the created video contents.
The voice source generated by the voice actor may be a vocal source, and the video contents created by the user may be music contents.
The user information management unit may be configured to provide music recorded (MR) together with the voice source to the user, and the music contents may be generated based on a combination of a plurality of vocal sources by the user.
The present disclosure may provide an online contents platform capable of generating and registering online contents based on the active selection of a platform user, and consuming and transacting variously produced n-th works.
The present disclosure may also provide an online contents platform in which the casting editing authority conventionally concentrated on a broadcast producer extends to general consumer, which causes an expansion to a plurality of contents that are variously modified by the consumer or the user to be consumed and distributed, rather than the final one contents derived from the lead of the conventional producer.
In addition, a broadcast manuscript, which is the work of the existing broadcast writer, is paid a manuscript fee for one-time broadcast transmission from a broadcaster or a producer, and thereafter, is not protected or utilized as a substantial copyright since the broadcast manuscript has no effect of use profit. However, according to the present disclosure, it is possible to enable just and safe copyright registration and continuous creation of royalties.
In addition, in the prior art, the sound source of a lyricist and a composer was also only able to receive the royalty for one final produced song, but according to the present disclosure, the sound source is naturally expanded and reproduced as a work for the sound source downloaded and re-produced by a recipient or a user, and thus profit creation may be maximized.
In addition, according to the present disclosure, many actors and ordinary people buy the manuscript of a writer without waiting for the casting of the producer, produce narration and voice acting contents in a way that singers release albums, upload the contents to a distribution server, and receive their own royalties as much as the number of clicks and downloads of the contents, and thus it will be possible to expand the distribution structure of voice contents.
In addition, according to the present disclosure, consumers or recipients of modern broadcasting, cultural contents, and music contents have already developed excellently the desire, ability, and sense with respect to editing of the contents that they consume beyond simple end consumers, and thus a lot of various customized contents that suit personal taste appear, which may greatly contribute to the diversification of the cultural market.
In addition, according to the present disclosure, voice dubbing is the most powerful method to overcome the limitation of information among various methods for resolving language barriers in each country in consuming cultural contents due to the rapid spread of Korean wave worldwide, and thus the scalability of cultural broadcast contents may be greatly enhanced.
In addition, there are countless countries around the world that require voice dubbing, i.e., localization, such as documentaries, dramas, animations, movie music, etc., and according to the present disclosure, various options may be provided to contents consumers in these countries.
In addition, according to the present disclosure, a distribution ecosystem of new intellectual property rights and music culture contents that did not exist before is formed, and thus a new market that also did not exist before worldwide may be formed.

Referring to
For example, a writer such as the broadcast writer may register the contents manuscript in a contents management server 200 through the contents manuscript registrant terminal 100, and sell the manuscript through the contents management server 200, so that the VA who is the performer may purchase the manuscript through the VA terminal 300. At this time, a charging method between the contents manuscript registrant and the VA may a contract in various ways, such as a lump sum payment and a running guarantee. When a manuscript fee is deposited through the VA terminal 300, the royalty may be paid to the contents manuscript registrant according to a predetermined contract type through the contents management server 200.
In addition, when a manuscript is purchased and downloaded from the VA terminal 300, it is possible to prevent the reuse of the manuscript by another VA by giving a different serial number to each manuscript. More specifically, when the VA terminal 300 purchases the contents manuscript, a serial number related to the corresponding contents manuscript is generated, and when registering a voice source generated by the VA terminal 300 in the contents management server 200, the voice source is registered only when the corresponding serial number is input, and thus, it is possible to determine whether to register the voice source based on the validity of the received serial number.
Referring to
At this time, the video contents created by the user, that is, an n-th work, may be registered in the contents management server 200. In addition, the contents management server 200 may perform a function of distributing profits generated based on the consumption or distribution of the video contents created by the user of the online platform, and provide part of profits generated based on the consumption and distribution of the n-th work newly generated by the user terminal 400 to the VA as royalty.
For example, taking an idol group consisting of five group members as an example, first, a music copyright holder, who is the original copyright owner, may separate music recorded (MR), which is a background music, and a vocal part of each group member and register the MR and the vocal part in the contents management server 200. At this time, each of the five group members may upload the vocal part to the contents management server 200 in the form of vocal pieces by collectively digesting each part of the corresponding entire song.
As described above, the MR and a plurality of vocal sources registered in the contents management server 200 may be provided to the user terminal 400, and a user may combine a plurality of vocals of each group member according to his or her preference with the MR provided by default to create and enjoy his or her own music in the final mixed form. As such, an n-th work reproduced by the user terminal 400 may be registered through the contents management server 200, and part of profits generated by the consumption or distribution of the n-th work may be returned to a music copyright owner as royalty so that a new profit may be created. That is, by newly giving the distribution of vocal of each group member in the original song from the user's point of view, music contents regenerated with different tastes may be created by the user.
