JP7646282B2 - Content Integration Viewer - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a viewer used for the purpose of viewing electronic books and electronic videos.

Previously, when e-books and e-videos were treated as products, each work or each part of a work was packaged as a single product.

When a user was watching a conventional book, video, e-book, or digital video product and wanted to watch a derivative work or branching story work, it was necessary to go through the trouble of searching for, finding, and purchasing the derivative work or branching story work before watching it, since these existed as separate products. This made it difficult to change viewing routes and jump from one work to another at the moment the story branched.

In the traditional environment, each work existed separately, so if you wanted to sell a derivative work or a work with a branching story, you had to promote it separately, and the revenue from the derivative work was unrelated to the revenue of the creator of the original work.

The viewer of the present invention makes it easy to traverse from a branching point to a branching route by linking branching routes and uploading derivative works, and at the same time, placing markers on the viewer that can be tapped with a finger or pointed to with a pointer to display the branching route.

In order to prevent any potential copyright issues, a fee will be charged on a per-page basis, and the server will calculate and allocate a portion of the revenue from derivative works as revenue from primary creations.

In order to allow unpopular derivative works to earn a certain amount of money, for example, by making a role-playing game combat event occur when trying to enter a branching route for free, or by making some kind of game event occur at the branching point, the frequency with which viewers choose branching routes is increased.

In the case of digital comics, to make it easier to create derivative works, 2D images created using 3D objects are uploaded onto computer uploaders, smartphone apps, and servers, and 3D objects of comic characters are made available for download as products or prizes, thereby increasing revenue for the operators and, by adding revenue from turning the comics into games, creating more money to pay dividends to the creators of derivative works.

E-books and video content with branching routes will be integrated, making it quick and easy to move between works.

It will become possible to create and develop content products that more closely combine primary and secondary creations, as well as tertiary and quaternary creations.

Operation screen

Modes for carrying out the invention

First, they set up a website and distribute viewing software and apps, then distribute uploaders to participants who are allowed to use the content for secondary purposes on their own sites, on the condition that they receive revenue from viewers and derivative works, and operate the site as an electronic content marketplace where secondary participation is free.

In order to generate revenue for the operator from downloadable 3D objects and to increase the revenue of the participants, a function is provided for uploading works created using 3D objects to the site, and the site is turned into a game so that the operator and participants can choose whether to view the site or app as an e-book or play it as a game, thereby increasing the possibility of it becoming a viable business for the operator and participants.

Claims (2)

This e-book viewer has the function of linking multiple e-books together via branching routes, uploading derivative works, and placing markers on the viewer that can be tapped with a finger or pointed to with a pointer to display the branching routes, making it easy to move from a branching point to a branching route.It also charges a fee for each page, and collects and distributes a portion of the revenue from derivative works as revenue from the original work , thereby treating original and derivative works, as well as tertiary and quaternary works, as e-books that more closely combine the two . An electronic book viewer and an electronic book uploader having a function of automatically creating game events when linking a derivative story work that branches routes to an electronic book with a story, and turning a group of electronic books created by claim 1 into a game.
