We deliberately chose a screen format for our application which can be easily adapted to mobile platforms (smartphones, tablets). We imagine that our solution is not only suitable for desktop use in times where more and more people handle their tasks using mobile devices. | |||
During our midterm presentation one of our mentors mentioned that we should focus on identifying the pain of users of our target group and try to ease it. After a reassessment of our conducted interviews we made the assumption, that creators struggle with the proper attribution of a license or their copyright information of their published work. At this point in time, services like facebook or tumblr do not offer their users to select and attribute a CC license to content they upload on their platform. In case the user wants to attribute basic copyright information or a CC license, he would need to manually add this information (i.e. by watermarking images, adding an intro or outro to a video, or add meta information like an ID3 tag for mp3 files). This process can be rather time consuming, especially if different attributions have to be made for different platforms (i.e. watermarking an image for tumblr, adding a caption containing the information on facebook). | During our midterm presentation one of our mentors mentioned that we should focus on identifying the pain of users of our target group and try to ease it.
