Abstract

A method including receiving, by a processor of a computing system, a submission from a user, authenticating, by the processor, the submission received from the user with a unique identifier of the submission, tracking, by the processor, the unique identifier to detect a presence of the submission, determining, by the processor, whether the presence is authorized, and distributing, by the processor, a portion of proceeds to the user if the presence is authorized is provided. Furthermore, an associated computer program product and computer system is also provided.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a processor of a computing system, a submission from a user;

authenticating, by the processor, the submission received from the user with a unique identifier of the submission;

tracking, by the processor, the unique identifier to detect a presence of the submission;

determining, by the processor, whether the presence is authorized; and

distributing, by the processor, a portion of proceeds to the user if the presence is authorized.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user is at least one of the author, the owner of the submission, and a person claiming to be the owner of the submission who obtains proper authentication.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein tracking the presence of the submission is done over a network.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the computing system includes an authentication system, a monitoring system, and a distribution system.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the portion of proceeds are distributed according to an agreement between the user, an online advertisement system of computing system 10, and one or more websites.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the submission is selected from the group consisting of:

a literary work, a musical work, portrait image, property image, a dramatic work, a pictorial work, a graphic work, a motion picture, an audio visual work, a sound recording, an article, a text-based work, a derivative work, a compilation, and a digital image.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

creating, by the processor, a user account;

presenting, by the processor, the user with an agreement;

notifying, by the processor, the user of the presence; and

transmitting, by the processor, a legal notice if the unauthorized presence of the submission is not removed.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing, by the processor, payment information on the computer-readable storage medium;

detecting, by the processor, an advertisement at a location over a network;

determining, by the processor, the portion of the proceeds deposited to the user; and

generating, by the processor, a time stamp to record at least one of a time and date when the submission was received by the processor executing the authentication system.

9. A computer program product, comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a computer processor of a computing system implements a method comprising:

receiving, by a processor of a computing system, a submission from a user;

authenticating, by the processor, the submission received from the user with a unique identifier of a submission;

tracking, by the processor, the unique identifier to detect a presence of the submission;

determining, by the processor, whether the presence is authorized; and

distributing, by the processor, a portion of proceeds to the user if the presence is authorized.

10. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the user is at least one of the author, the owner of the submission, and a person claiming to be the owner of the submission, who obtains proper authentication.

11. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein tracking the presence of the submission is done over a network.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the computing systems includes an authentication system, a monitoring system, and a distribution system.

13. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the portion of proceeds are distributed according to an agreement between the user, an online advertisement system of computing system 10, and one or more websites.

14. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the submission is selected from the group consisting of:

a literary work, a musical work, a dramatic work, a pictorial work, a graphic work, a motion picture, a portrait image, a property image, an audio visual work, a sound recording, an article, a text-based work, a derivative work, a compilation, and a digital image.

15. The computer program product of claim 9, further comprising:

creating, by the processor, a user account;

presenting, by the processor, the user with an agreement;

notifying, by the processor, the user of the presence; and

transmitting, by the processor, a legal notice if the unauthorized presence of the submission is not removed.

16. The computer program product of claim 9, further comprising:

storing, by the processor, payment information on the computer-readable storage medium;

detecting, by the processor, an advertisement at a location over a network;

determining, by the processor, the portion of the proceeds deposited to the user; and

generating, by the processor, a time stamp to record at least one of a time and date when the submission was received by the processor executing the authentication system.

17. A computing system comprising a computer processor coupled to a computer-readable storage device, said storage device containing instructions that when executed by the processor implement a monitoring and distribution method comprising:

receiving, by a processor of a computing system, a submission from a user;

authenticating, by the processor, the submission received from the user with a unique identifier of a submission;

tracking, by the processor, the unique identifier to detect a presence of the submission;

determining, by the processor, whether the presence is authorized; and

distributing, by the processor, a portion of proceeds to the user if the presence is authorized.

18. The computing system of claim 17, wherein the user is at least one of the author, the owner of the submission, and a person claiming to be the owner of the submission, who obtains proper authentication.

19. The computing system of claim 17, wherein tracking the presence of the submission is done over a network.

20. The method of claim 17, wherein the computing systems includes an authentication system, a monitoring system, and a distribution system.

21. The computing system of claim 17, wherein the portion of proceeds are distributed according to an agreement between the user, an online advertisement system of computing system 10, and one or more websites.

22. The computing system of claim 17, wherein the submission is selected from the group consisting of:

a literary work, a musical work, a dramatic work, a pictorial work, a graphic work, a motion picture, an audio visual work, a portrait image, a property image, a sound recording, an article, a text-based work, a derivative work, a compilation, and a digital image.

23. The computing system of claim 17, further comprising:

creating, by the processor, a user account;

presenting, by the processor, the user with an agreement;

notifying, by the processor, the user of the presence;

transmitting, by the processor, a legal notice if the unauthorized presence of the submission is not removed;

storing, by the processor, payment information on the computer-readable storage medium;

detecting, by the processor, an advertisement at a location over a network;

determining, by the processor, the portion of the proceeds deposited to the user; and

generating, by the processor, a time stamp to record at least one of a time and date when the submission was received by the processor executing the authentication system.
