CONTENT GENERATION APPARATUS THAT REGISTERS INFORMATION IN BLOCKCHAIN, CONTROL METHOD FOR CONTENT GENERATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106672 titled 'CONTENT GENERATION APPARATUS THAT REGISTERS INFORMATION IN BLOCKCHAIN, CONTROL METHOD FOR CONTENT GENERATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a content generation apparatus that can easily confirm content data registered in a blockchain. The apparatus includes an image pickup apparatus that generates an image file, calculates a hash value of the image file, and transmits the image file information to a management system. Once the image file information is registered in a blockchain, the image pickup apparatus stores registration-completed information related to the image file.

  • Explanation of the patent/innovation:
 * Content generation apparatus for confirming content data registered in a blockchain
 * Image pickup apparatus generates image file, calculates hash value, and transmits information to management system
 * Stores registration-completed information once image file information is registered in blockchain

Original Abstract Submitted

a content generation apparatus capable of easily confirming content data, the information of which is registered in a blockchain, is provided. an image pickup apparatus generates an image file and then immediately calculates a hash value of the image file, and transmits image file information including the hash value to a management system. in response to receipt of a registration completion notification indicating that a process of registering the image file information in a blockchain is completed, the image pickup apparatus stores registration-completed information indicating that the image file information is registered in the blockchain, relating to the image file.
