Abstract: An evaluation value aggregation unit generates an aggregation evaluation value by aggregating evaluation values obtained by evaluating divided blocks of content for each divided block. An electronic ledger management unit manages an electronic ledger including a content management table and an evaluator management table, the content management table recording a rights holder for each of the divided blocks in association with the aggregation evaluation value, and the evaluator management table recording the divided blocks in association with an evaluator for each of the divided blocks. A payment processing unit aggregates usage fees paid by users when the users use the divided blocks for each of the divided blocks and distributes a distribution amount based on the usage fees aggregated for each of the divided blocks to at least a rights holder of the used divided block.

Abstract: A content acquisition unit extracts a divided block having an evaluation value equal to or more than a threshold value from among content in which each of divided blocks is associated with an evaluation value and is managed by a content asset management apparatus, and acquires the extracted divided block as delivery data. When a user pays a usage fee to receive the delivery of the extracted divided block, a delivery control unit performs control to deliver the delivery data to a user terminal of the user.

Abstract: An electronic ledger management unit manages an electronic ledger including a content management table that records a rights holder in association with each of divided blocks of content. A use permission/non-permission determination unit, when a user applies to use a whole of the content, or two or more divided blocks of the plurality of divided blocks, determines whether to permit the use, based on a voting result indicating whether to permit the use from each rights holder of the divided blocks for which the user has applied to use. A payment processing unit, when the use permission/non-permission determination unit determines to permit the use and the user pays a usage fee, distributes a distribution amount based on the usage fee to approving rights holders who have voted to permit the use, and to disapproving rights holders who have voted to not permit the use.
