Abstract

A method, device, system, and program for transaction of contents through a network are provided. In this transaction system, user terminals are configured to allow users to conduct transactions. A user sends a notification that the user hopes to register contents and prescribed items thereof in a data base in a center through the Internet. A Web server in the center registers the contents and the prescribed items thereof sent from the user in the data base. When use or transfer of the contents sent from the user occurs, a token according to the occurrence is sent to a user who hopes to use or transfer the contents. In the case of accidents concerning contents and tokens, appropriation/compensation is implemented from funds for handling trouble to a user who suffers a loss of benefit. Thereby, it becomes possible to conduct transaction of contents easily and securely, spread around detail of contents extensively, and receive contents promptly which a user hopes to use.

Claims

1. A system for transaction of contents through a network comprising:

a user terminal which is applied in requesting consent of use/delivery or transfer/delivery of contents; and

a server in a center which derives a token for consent of use/delivery or transfer/delivery of contents concerned in a first user and sends the token to a second user through a network or using an off-network medium, when the consent of use/delivery or the transfer/delivery of the contents is requested by the second user applying the user terminal.

18. The system for transaction of contents through a network as claimed in claim 1, wherein the server derives a token for collection of cost from the second user to the first user concerned in the consent of use/delivery or the transfer/delivery of the contents, and sends the token to the first user through a network or using an off-network medium.

2. A system for transaction of contents through a network, comprising:

a user terminal which is applied in requesting transfer of a token for consent of use/delivery or transfer/delivery of contents; and

a server in a center which sends a token for consent of use/delivery or transfer/delivery of contents held by a first user and sent from the first user to a second user through a network or using an off-network medium, when the token for the consent of use/delivery or the transfer/delivery of the contents is requested by the second user applying the user terminal.

19. The system for transaction of contents through a network as claimed in claim 2, wherein the server derives a new token for collection of cost from the second user to the first user concerned in the transfer of the token, and sends the new-derived token to the first user through a network or using an off-network medium.

3. A system for transaction of contents through a network, comprising:

a user terminal which is applied in requesting transfer of a token for collection of cost; and

a server in a center which sends a token for collection of cost held by a first user and sent from the first user to a second user through a network or using an off-network medium, when transfer of the token for the collection of the cost is requested by the second user applying the user terminal.

20. The system for transaction of contents through a network as claimed in claim 3, wherein the server derives a new token for collection of cost from the second user to the first user concerned in the transfer of the token, and sends the new-derived token to the first user through a network or using an off-network medium.

4. A system for transaction of contents through a network, comprising:

a user terminal which is applied in requesting realization of detail displayed in a token for consent of use/delivery or transfer/delivery of contents; and

a server in a center which implements consent of use or transfer of contents by sending the contents to a first user through a network or using an off-network medium, when realization of detail displayed in a token for the consent of use/delivery or the transfer/delivery of the contents held by the first user is requested by the first user applying the user terminal.

5. A system for transaction of contents through a network, comprising:

a user terminal which is applied in requesting realization of detail displayed in a token for collection of cost; and

a server in a center which implements collection of cost from a second user to a first user, when realization of detail displayed in a token for the collection of the cost from the second user to the first user held by the first user is requested by the first user applying the user terminal.

6. A system for transaction of contents through a network, comprising:

a user terminal of a user who should pay original funds, on which a situation about the original funds forming funds for handling trouble applied for appropriation or compensation in the case of an accident concerned in contents and a token is displayed; and

a server in a center, when the original funds are not collected from the user who should pay the original funds by a deadline for the original funds, which sets up new original funds calculated by adding interest arrears to the original funds, sets up a new deadline for collecting the new original funds, and sends a warning that the original funds are uncollected and a reminder that the user should pay the new original funds by the new deadline to the user terminal through a network or using an off-network medium.

21. The system for transaction of contents through a network as claimed in claim 6, wherein the server writes down a record that collection of the funds for handling trouble, compensation and appropriation were implemented in the data base in the center when collection of the funds for handling trouble, compensation, and appropriation were implemented.

22. The system for transaction of contents through a network as claimed in claim 6 wherein:
