BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0020] Figure 1 Flow chart of the method of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] See also Figure 1 , the present invention provides two technical solutions:
[0023] A method for managing cultural property investment, comprising the following steps:
[0024] A1. Confirm the ownership of cultural property rights and use the management rights and income rights of cultural property rights as investment targets;
[0025] A2. Conduct an asset appraisal based on the operating income of the cultural property rights to determine the asset value of the cultural property rights;
[0026] A3. Based on the optimized operation plan for the cultural property, calculate the amount of assets required for optimized operation and plan investment products within the asset value. The investment objective is to optimize the operation of the cultural property and increase its returns.
[0027] A4. Launch the aforementioned investment products, using the operating income from cultural property rights as repayment and source of income.
[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, the cultural property rights include: artworks, copyrights, historical and cultural heritage, natural and cultural heritage, blockchain digital assets, and securitized product resource asset rights.
[0029] Artwork: explicitly includes physical artworks (such as paintings and sculptures) and digital artworks (such as crypto art and NFTs);
[0030] Blockchain digital assets: limited to NFTs that comply with the ERC-721 / ERC-1155 standards or digital collections with confirmed ownership on the consortium chain.
[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, the securitized product is distributed as dividends based on the operating income of the cultural property rights to achieve continuous trading.
[0032] Clearly adopt legally compliant forms such as ABS (asset-backed securities), income right trusts or private equity fund units;
[0033] Specify the dividend cycle (such as quarterly distribution) and distribution priority (such as priority payment of fixed income and floating distribution of the remaining part).
[0034] Designate continuous bidding transactions on cultural property exchanges or licensed digital asset platforms, and introduce a market maker system to ensure liquidity;
[0035] It is required to disclose the volatility of underlying asset returns (for example, annualized volatility ≤ 15% is a low-risk product).
[0036] Describe in detail the selection criteria and evaluation methods for cultural property rights as the underlying assets of securitization products. For example, select cultural property rights with stable returns and broad market prospects as the underlying assets of securitization products;
[0037] Emphasis on accurate assessment of the value of cultural property rights, including comprehensive consideration of their historical value, market value, and future profit potential;
[0038] Emphasize the transparency and liquidity of the trading platform to ensure that investors can easily buy and sell securitized products and achieve continuous trading.
[0039] In the embodiment of the present invention, the blockchain digital assets have the characteristics of traceability and decentralized transactions.
[0040] Specify the applicable scenarios for using public chains (such as Ethereum) or consortium chains (such as Ant Chain) (e.g., using public chains for highly liquid assets and consortium chains for cultural heritage);
[0041] It is required that each transaction generate a timestamp hash and synchronize it to the judicial evidence storage platform.
[0042] It supports multi-chain asset interoperability through cross-chain protocols (such as Polkadot), and transactions must use zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) to protect user privacy.
[0043] Blockchain digital assets are known for their unique traceability and decentralized trading. These features ensure the transparency and security of every transaction, giving blockchain digital assets unparalleled advantages in management and trading.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present invention, the artwork and its copyright combination are physically integrated into electronic transaction investment.
[0045] Physical artworks must be attached with RFID / NFC chips or quantum anti-counterfeiting codes, which correspond one-to-one with digital certificates on the chain. Copyright transactions verify originality through digital fingerprints (Hash) to prevent piracy.
[0046] Physical delivery must be triggered by a smart contract (such as automatically unlocking the warehouse pickup right after the buyer pays), and supports hybrid trading models (such as holding electronic shares can be exchanged for physical art exhibition rights).
[0047] To ensure that the physical artwork and its copyright combination are complete and flawless, and to avoid any form of rights disputes or infringement risks, a combination of standardization and non-standardization can be explored during the transaction process. For physical artworks, certain standards can be established based on their characteristics, such as size, material, etc.; while for copyrights, more flexible handling can be used to meet the needs of different investors.
[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, the ownership confirmation process in A1 uses blockchain technology to encrypt and store the ownership information of cultural property rights and generate a unique digital certificate. The separation, authorization and transaction of the operating rights and income rights are automatically executed through smart contracts. The contract terms include the income distribution ratio, the term of the operating rights, and the rules for handling breach of contract.
[0049] Blockchain evidence data is required to comply with the requirements of the Electronic Signature Law and support direct retrieval by the court as evidence. Smart contracts must reserve a judicial intervention interface (for example, an arbitration institution can freeze the rights and interests of the defaulting party).
[0050] Clarify ownership, operating rights, and income rights through legal confirmation;
[0051] Split the operating rights and income rights into standardized targets to lower the investment threshold.
[0052] In the process of confirming ownership, in addition to encrypting and storing ownership information, it is also possible to consider storing relevant information such as the artwork's creation background, historical evolution, and circulation records to form a more complete and accurate artwork information chain;
[0053] Optimize the blockchain title confirmation process, reduce unnecessary links, and improve the efficiency of title confirmation. At the same time, develop a user-friendly title confirmation interface, lower the threshold for title confirmation, and enable more creators and investors to conveniently use blockchain technology for title confirmation.
[0054] In an embodiment of the present invention, the asset evaluation in A2 is based on big data collection of historical income data, industry trend indicators and social public opinion, and a machine learning algorithm is used to build a dynamic prediction model to output the risk level and expected rate of return range of cultural property rights, and publicize the rating results to investors.
[0055] Emphasize that big data collection is not limited to historical earnings data, but should also include a wider range of market transaction data, corporate financial data, macroeconomic data, etc., to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the data;
[0056] When collecting social public opinion, you can clearly mention the data source, such as social media, news websites, forums, etc., and explain what technical means (such as text mining, sentiment analysis, etc.) are used to extract and quantify public opinion information.
[0057] Clarify the specific content of industry trend indicators, such as growth rate, market share, technological innovation, etc., and how these indicators reflect industry development trends. For each indicator, its weight or influence in the model can be given to help investors better understand its importance.
[0058] In an embodiment of the present invention, the calculation result of the asset amount required for optimizing operations in A3 is bound to the blockchain account, and the transfer of funds must be authorized by a multi-signature smart contract. The operator must upload the fund usage certificate in stages.
[0059] Set up tripartite co-management (e.g., investors, operators, and regulators each hold a private key), require signatures from more than two-thirds of the parties involved in major expenditures, and enable automated approval for small amounts (e.g., automatically disbursing funds after AI verifies the authenticity of invoices);
[0060] Describe in detail the methods, models and assumptions for calculating asset amounts to ensure the accuracy and rationality of the calculation results;
[0061] Publicize the data and parameters used in the measurement process to improve the transparency of the measurement results;
[0062] Establish an independent audit mechanism to review and verify the measurement results to ensure their reliability;
[0063] Investors or relevant parties are allowed to question the measurement results and provide corresponding explanations and clarifications.
[0064] In summary, cultural property rights are confirmed, and the operating rights and income rights of cultural property rights are used as investment targets; an asset appraisal is conducted based on the operating income of cultural property rights to determine the asset value of the cultural property rights; based on the optimized operation plan of the cultural property rights, the amount of assets required for the optimized operation is calculated, and investment products are planned within the asset value. The investment purpose is to optimize the operation of the cultural property rights and increase their income; the investment products are sold, and the operating income of the cultural property rights is used as the repayment and income source.
