Sony patents system to score creators using digital certificates
Sony has filed a patent for a system that calculates a performance score for content creators. It uses digital certificates, or verifiable credentials, issued by trusted organizations to verify a creator's past achievements. This data helps determine how revenue is shared among multiple creators in digital marketplaces.
In the filing’s own words
The present disclosure relates to an information processing device and an information processing method capable of correctly evaluating an achievement of a creator. A scoring server includes a score calculation unit that calculates an achievement score of a creator who has produced content by using an achievement VC that certifies an achievement of the creator provided by an issuing institution that issues the VC. The technology of the present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a content revenue distribution system or the like that appropriately distributes revenue on the basis of past achievements of each of a plurality of creators in a case where trade of NFT content related to a plurality of creators is established in an NFT marketplace.
