METHOD OF PROVIDING INTERNET PUBLISHING SERVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: An Internet publishing service method is provided to prevent piracy and an abnormal use of a downloaded published file in accordance with a certifying process through an additional certifying program for a user certification in a process for downloading and reproducing a file for a publication created by a request of an Internet user. CONSTITUTION: If an external user connects to a homepage, the user is certified(S100). The certified user performs a log-in process(S104) and a search tool capable of searching various kinds of works is supplied(S106). A work selected using the search tool is stored in a temporary memory(S108). If a work to be published is selected(S110), it is judged whether a publication design change is requested or not(S112). If a publication design change is not requested, a file for a publication is created using the selected work and contents to be published are displayed(S114). If a work to be published and a publication form are decided, the final publication intention is decided(S120). If the final publication intention is decided, the created publication file is transmitted to the external user(S122), and a certification managing program is called for certifying the transmitted file for a publication(S124). The certification managing program creates an inherent key embodied to each external user and a certifying program necessary for the publication. The certifying program includes a certifying key creating module, a certifying program creating module, and a certifying key combining module. The created certifying program is transmitted to the external user(S126).
