Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for providing a gift card-NFT linked service. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and system for providing a gift card-NFT linked service that links an NFT containing artist-related content to a gift card including a portrait of the artist.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as part of economic development and active leisure life, public interest in entertainers has tended to increase greatly. Above all, as part of marketing techniques, large profits are generated through the sale of goods that utilize the brand value of celebrities with high star power.

[0003] The fields of application of such goods have expanded, and they have begun to be applied not only to products mainly purchased by fans, such as light sticks and bromides, but also to products purchased by the general public, such as various foods, cosmetics, and gift cards.

[0004] However, specially manufactured goods that include photographs of celebrities and artists differ from mass-produced products in terms of version and printing drawn on the exterior of the product, can instill in consumers the perception that they are different from ordinary mass-produced products, and allow consumers to infer the product manufacturing time based on the model contract period. Therefore, such goods are sometimes overlooked by consumers who desire recently manufactured ordinary mass-produced products rather than specially manufactured goods.

[0005] Furthermore, even if a company that manufactures goods produces the goods in consideration of the size of the fan base and the artist's popularity, if the actual demand is higher or lower than the expected demand, the company must additionally produce more goods or discard the already manufactured goods. For this reason, there are disadvantages in that unexpected manufacturing costs are additionally incurred, or the company has to bear damages corresponding to the number of surplus goods.

[0006] On the other hand, with the recent groundbreaking advancements in blockchain technology, the use of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) based on this technology is expanding into various fields.

[0007] In particular, in the artistic field, NFTs are being utilized in various ways to add value to digital content, and are a technology that is greatly contributing to market revitalization.

[0008] Such NFTs have been used to prove ownership of digital assets within the metaverse, a virtual world. However, for the general public who are not yet familiar with the metaverse, the ownership of digital assets through NFTs often feels like an illusion.

[0009] Furthermore, the indiscriminate issuance of NFTs can lead to a decrease in the symbolic value and rarity of NFTs circulating within the platform. To address the aforementioned problems, there is a growing need for new inventions that link the aforementioned goods and NFTs. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0010] The present invention was devised to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and its purpose is to provide a method and system for providing a gift certificate NFT-linked service that integrates NFTs with tangible physical assets.

[0011] Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide a method and system for providing a gift certificate NFT-linked service that issues a limited number of gift certificates (goods) based on demand.

[0012] Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide a method and system for providing a gift certificate NFT-linked service that randomly distributes the issued gift certificates and provides a management service based thereon.

[0013] Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide a method and system for providing a gift certificate NFT-linked service that easily identifies and manages the owners of issued NFTs.

[0014] Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide a method and system for providing a gift certificate NFT-linked service that eliminates the indiscriminate generation of NFTs. [Means for solving the problem]

However, in various embodiments, it is possible that at least a part of the functions performed by the service platform server 200 can be performed by an external device (for example, terminal 100, etc.), and at least a part of the functions performed by the external device can be further performed by the service platform server 200.

[0142] • External Server 300

[0143] On the other hand, an external server 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention can provide terminal 100 and / or service platform server 200 with predetermined data that can be used on the gift certificate NFT-linked service.

[0144] Specifically, in this embodiment, the external server 300 may be a server that implements external services that can support transactions of gift certificates and NFTs matched to said gift certificates based on a platform application (in this embodiment, such as the purchase, sale, and / or use of artist-related artist digital content).

[0145] For example, such an external server 300 may include a gift certificate production server 300-1 and / or a cryptocurrency trading platform server 300-2, etc.

[0146] In this embodiment, the gift certificate production server 300-1 may be a server that produces and / or issues at least one physical gift certificate (e.g., a cultural gift certificate) that includes an artist image for selected artists chosen through a survey.

[0147] In this embodiment, such a gift certificate production server 300-1 can acquire predetermined artist information from the service platform server 200 and produce gift certificates based on the artist image included in the acquired artist information.

[0148] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the gift certificate production server 300-1 can generate gift certificate issuance information, which is unique information corresponding to each gift certificate, by producing gift certificates, and can transmit the generated gift certificate issuance information to the terminal 100 and / or the service platform server 200.

[0149] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cryptocurrency platform server 300-2 can issue NFTs containing predetermined artist digital content.

[0150] In this embodiment, NFTs may be applied to the artist's digital content, thereby enabling it to be traded as cryptocurrency.

[0151] Furthermore, the specified artist digital content collected, owned, and managed by each user on the application 111 can be purchased / traded / exchanged on a cryptocurrency exchange in conjunction with the cryptocurrency platform server 300-2.

[0152] In this embodiment, the external server 300 described above may include at least one data transmission / reception unit 310, a processor unit 320, and a database 330.

[0153] First, the data transmission / reception unit 310 according to this embodiment can transmit and receive various types of data via a network to support the artist digital content provision service in conjunction with external devices (for example, terminal 100 and / or service platform server 200, etc.).

[0154] In one embodiment, the data transmission / reception unit 310 can exchange predetermined data based on an external service (such as gift certificate issuance information and / or NFT information in one embodiment) with the terminal 100 and / or the service platform server 200 via a network.

[0155] Furthermore, the database 330 according to this embodiment can store and manage various data for supporting the gift certificate NFT-linked service.

[0158] Furthermore, the processor unit 320 according to this embodiment can control the overall operation of each of the aforementioned components in order to realize the artist digital content provision service.

[0159] Such a processor unit 320 can be realized using at least one of the following: ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits), DSPs (digital signal processors), DSPDs (digital signal processing devices), PLDs (programmable logic devices), FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays), controllers, microcontrollers, microprocessors, or other electrical units for functional execution.

[0160] • How an application issues an NFT

[0161] Hereinafter, a method by which an application 111 executed by at least one processor of a terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention issues an NFT in order to provide a gift certificate NFT-linked service will be described in detail with reference to the attached Figures 3 to 9.

[0162] In an embodiment of the present invention, at least one processor of the terminal 100 can execute or run at least one application 111 stored in at least one memory 110.

[0163] Hereinafter, the operation of at least one processor to execute the instruction words of the application 111 and issue the NFT described above will be abbreviated as "the application 111 performs the operation."

[0164] Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating an NFT issuance method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0165] As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, an application 111 running on at least one processor of the terminal 100 or operating in the background can perform a survey. (S101)

[0166] Here, the survey according to the embodiment may be a type of vote conducted on application 111 to determine the artists included in the gift certificate according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0167] In this embodiment, application 111 can sense predetermined user input for a survey that has been conducted.

[0168] For example, in one embodiment, the user can make a user input to select an artist to be included in the gift certificate from among at least one candidate artist (and / or group) based on the survey, thereby allowing application 111 to detect the user input.

[0169] In this embodiment, application 111 can notify users participating in the survey of predetermined publicly known information.

[0170] For example, in this embodiment, application 111 can notify users who participated in the survey and voted for at least one winning artist that they will be granted the right to purchase gift certificates.

[0171] Furthermore, for example, in one embodiment, application 111 can notify customers that they can vote once a day to prevent hoarding, and that the quantity they can purchase will be determined by the number of votes.

[0172] Furthermore, depending on the embodiment, application 111 can set predetermined qualification requirements for users participating in the survey.

[0173] For example, in one embodiment, application 111 can set predetermined eligibility requirements that allow voting only for artists with a history of fan activity, by linking with a fandom index, which is information representing the characteristics of various fan activities performed by fan users.

[0174] In addition, in this embodiment, application 111 can provide selected artist information according to the survey results. (S103)

[0175] Here, the selected artists according to this embodiment can mean at least one or more candidate artists (and / or groups) whose votes from a predetermined user meet a predetermined criterion (for example, the top 10% and / or top 10).

[0176] In this embodiment, application 111 can select at least one selected artist based on the survey results.

[0177] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can read selected artist information, which is artist information for the selected artist, from among at least one or more artist information stored in advance.

[0178] In this embodiment, the selected artist information may include the artist (group) name, artist image, numbers associated with the artist (e.g., the artist's birthday and / or the artist's debut date), and / or artist digital content for at least one selected artist.

[0179] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can provide the retrieved selected artist information to an external server 300 (in this embodiment, a gift certificate issuing server 300-1).

[0180] In addition, in this embodiment, application 111 can obtain gift certificate issuance information. (S105)

[0181] Specifically, in this embodiment, application 111 can obtain at least one or more gift certificate issuance information generated by gift certificate production from the external server 300 that provided the selected artist information.

[0182] Here, the gift certificate issuance information according to the embodiment is unique information corresponding to each gift certificate, and may include face value information, validity period information, gift certificate identification information (e.g., QR code (registered trademark), barcode, and / or serial number, etc.), and target artist information.

[0183] In this embodiment, the target artist information is one artist's information corresponding to one gift certificate from the selected artist information, and one target artist's information can be matched for each gift certificate.

[0184] In the external server 300 according to this embodiment, based on the provided selected artist information, one artist information can be matched for each gift certificate, a predetermined number of gift certificates can be produced, and gift certificate issuance information corresponding to each of the predetermined number of gift certificates produced can be generated.

[0185] As a result, in this embodiment, application 111 can obtain gift certificate issuance information generated by the external server 300.

[0186] In addition, in this embodiment, application 111 can generate content vouchers based on the acquired voucher issuance information. (S107)

[0187] Specifically, in this embodiment, application 111 determines whether the first gift certificate includes a special number based on the gift certificate identification information included in the acquired gift certificate issuance information, and can generate a predetermined content gift certificate based on this determination.

[0188] Here, the content gift certificate according to the embodiment may be a gift certificate to which an NFT containing predetermined artist digital content for the artist targeted by the first gift certificate is matched. Such a content gift certificate may be a gift certificate to which an NFT is linked to a gift certificate containing a predetermined special number (hereinafter referred to as a special gift certificate).

[0189] Specifically, in this embodiment, application 111 can determine that the first gift certificate is a special gift certificate if a predetermined serial number included in the acquired gift certificate issuance information matches one of at least one pre-set special numbers.

[0190] For this purpose, in this embodiment, application 111 can set a predetermined serial number as a special number.

[0191] Here, the special number according to the embodiment can be set in advance based on a predetermined serial number, QR code and / or barcode that is set randomly and manually by user (e.g., application 111 and / or service platform server 200 administrator, etc.) designation.

[0192] In the following explanation, the aforementioned special number will be described as a predetermined serial number.

[0193] In this case, the special number manually set by user specification may be set including cases that satisfy predetermined conditions (for example, a first condition including a section consisting of a single identical digit, a second condition including a section consisting of consecutive digits, and / or a third condition including a section consisting of anniversary numbers associated with a predetermined artist).

[0194] For example, in this embodiment, application 111 can set as special numbers serial numbers such as "777" which consists of only one identical digit, serial numbers such as "123" which consists of only consecutive digits, and / or predetermined serial numbers such as "0601" which consists of anniversary numbers associated with an artist included in predetermined selected artist information.

[0195] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if the first gift certificate includes a special number, application 111 can detect target artist information matched to the special gift certificate based on the acquired gift certificate issuance information.

[0196] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can extract target digital content based on detected target artist information.

[0197] Here, the target digital content according to the embodiment may be one artist digital content randomly selected and extracted from at least one artist digital content stored in the memory 110 in correspondence with the target artist information.

[0198] In other words, in this embodiment, application 111 can extract a target digital content which is one randomly determined artist digital content from among at least one artist digital content that has been matched with the detected target artist information.

[0199] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can generate a pair of NFTs containing the extracted target digital content.

[0200] Here, the pair NFT according to the embodiment is an NFT that includes artist digital content pre-stored in correspondence with predetermined artist information, and is an NFT that is matched 1:1 to a predetermined special number.

[0201] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can link the generated pair NFT with the special number included in the special gift certificate.

[0202] In other words, in this embodiment, application 111 can generate a content gift certificate, which is a gift certificate that matches the generated pair NFT with the special gift certificate, by linking the pair NFT and the special number.

[0203] Figure 4 shows an example of a content voucher according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0204] As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, application 111 can generate a content voucher CC that includes a special voucher 500 and a pair NFT (600) linked to the special voucher 500.

[0205] In this embodiment, application 111 can detect target artist information matched to a special gift certificate 500 containing special number 510.

[0206] In this case, as shown in the figure, the special gift certificate 500 according to the embodiment may have a predetermined artist image AI included in the matched target artist information printed on it.

[0207] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can extract target digital content based on detected target artist information and generate a pair NFT(600) containing the extracted target digital content.

[0208] In this case, as shown in the figure, the pair NFT(600) according to the embodiment may include a predetermined artist digital content ADC included in the matched target digital content.

[0209] Furthermore, the paired NFT(600) may contain predetermined NFT detail data.

[0210] Furthermore, the artist on which the Artist Image AI and Artist Digital Content ADC are based is the same as the target artist, and since the Artist Digital Content ADC is randomly determined and matched, the shape of the target artist on which it is based can be different.

[0211] In this manner, the application 111 in this embodiment can generate at least one content voucher CC that links the special voucher 500 and the paired NFT (600), thereby integrating the NFT with a tangible physical asset and eliminating the indiscriminate generation of NFTs.

[0212] In this embodiment, such content gift certificates (CC) can be provided to a predetermined user based on the gift certificate purchase rights granted only to users who participated in the survey according to the embodiment and voted for the target artist of the content gift certificate (CC).

[0213] In other words, in this embodiment, application 111 can deliver a random gift certificate physical object, including the content gift certificate CC, to the user through a predetermined payment and delivery process, and can provide a gift certificate NFT-linked service that stores and manages at least one content gift certificate CC that belongs to the user through a predetermined authentication process.

[0214] • How to provide a service linked to gift certificate NFTs

[0215] Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a gift certificate NFT-linked service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0216] As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, application 111 can obtain gift certificate identification information. (S301)

[0217] Specifically, in this embodiment, application 111 can obtain gift certificate identification information based on predetermined user input regarding a gift certificate provided to a user (i.e., a gift certificate purchaser in this embodiment).

[0218] As mentioned above, the gift certificate identification information according to the embodiment includes a QR code, a barcode, and / or a serial number. However, for the sake of explanation, in the following description, the gift certificate identification information will be assumed to be a serial number.

[0219] Furthermore, a user according to the embodiment can purchase a predetermined gift certificate as a reward for participating in the survey, thereby randomly receiving at least one physical gift certificate from among general gift certificates and / or content gift certificates CC.

[0220] Furthermore, a user according to the embodiment can log in to the platform providing the gift certificate NFT linkage service in order to confirm whether or not the randomly sent gift certificates correspond to content gift certificates CC.

[0221] In this embodiment, once login by a user account is approved, application 111 can obtain the serial number by sensing user input, specifically the direct input of the serial number contained in a predetermined gift certificate received by the user.

[0222] In addition, in this embodiment, application 111 can obtain a serial number by sensing an image and / or image input of a predetermined gift certificate received by the user.

[0223] For this purpose, in this embodiment, application 111 can input a gift certificate image and / or image of the gift certificate taken based on the image sensor 161.

[0224] In addition, in this embodiment, application 111 can sense the serial number displayed on the gift certificate based on the input gift certificate image and / or image.

[0225] The application 111 can then obtain the serial number contained in the gift certificate image and / or image by extracting the sensed serial number.

[0226] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can match the acquired gift certificate image and serial number with the user account and store them.

[0227] Therefore, application 111 can easily identify and manage the owners of the provided general gift certificates and / or content gift certificates CC.

[0228] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can identify content gift certificates based on the acquired gift certificate identification information. (S303)

[0229] Specifically, in this embodiment, application 111 can determine whether a content voucher is one based on whether the acquired serial number matches one of at least one pre-set special numbers.

[0230] In this embodiment, if the acquired serial number matches a predetermined special number, the application 111 determines that the gift certificate is a content gift certificate CC and can perform step S305-1.

[0231] On the other hand, in this embodiment, if the acquired serial number does not match a predetermined special number, the application 111 can determine that the gift certificate is a general gift certificate and proceed to step S305-2.

[0232] In this embodiment, application 111 can provide a pair of NFTs matched to the special number. (S305-1)

[0233] Specifically, in this embodiment, application 111 can provide a pair of NFTs matched to a content voucher CC generated through the above-described steps S101 to S109, which includes the special number.

[0234] In this embodiment, application 111 can match the provided pair of NFTs (600) to the user account and store and manage them.

[0235] In summary, in this embodiment, application 111 can match and store at least one acquired gift certificate (general gift certificate and / or content gift certificate CC) image, serial number, and paired NFT to the user account.

[0236] Therefore, application 111 can check the actual owner of each randomly distributed gift certificate, smoothly provide the necessary foundational data for various user services that utilize this, and allow users (i.e., buyers) to easily manage the random gift certificates they own not only physically but also online in conjunction with their platform account.

[0237] To this end, in the embodiment, application 111 can provide a collect interface CI that can manage (e.g., view / sell / use, etc.) at least one content voucher CC and / or paired NFT matched and stored in the user account in a predetermined manner.

[0238] Figure 6 shows an example of a gift certificate collecting interface according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0239] As shown in Figure 6, in this embodiment, application 111 can display and provide at least one content voucher CC and / or paired NFTs stored in conjunction with the user account as described above, based on the provided collecting interface CI, in a predetermined manner (e.g., a list of content vouchers and / or paired NFTs by artist).

[0240] In this embodiment, application 111 can activate predetermined artist digital content contained in a pair of gift certificates stored in the user account based on the collecting interface CI.

[0241] Specifically, in this embodiment, application 111 can activate artist digital content (e.g., moving image playback and / or artist voice and sound source playback) that is uniquely realized via the paired NFTs.

[0242] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can confirm the current ownership status of a predetermined collection based on the collect interface CI.

[0243] Specifically, in this embodiment, application 111 can verify the current ownership status of a collection (e.g., a predetermined serial number collection and / or a predetermined artist (group) image collection, etc.) that includes at least one content gift certificate CC and / or paired NFTs that meet predetermined conditions.

[0244] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can work in conjunction with an external server 300 (in this embodiment, a cryptocurrency trading platform server 300-2) to provide the current price and market value of paired NFTs for each gift certificate stored in the user account.

[0245] In other words, in this embodiment, application 111 can enhance the usability and utilization of gift certificates and NFTs held by a user by supporting the user in being able to check and manage all of their gift certificates at once through a single user interface (collecting interface CI in this embodiment).

[0246] On the other hand, in this embodiment, application 111 can change or delete the ownership of a given content voucher CC and its matched paired NFT by providing a predetermined process that allows trading and / or use of at least one content voucher CC stored in the user account.

[0247] For this purpose, in this embodiment, application 111 can provide a content voucher exchange process. (S307-1)

[0248] Figure 7 is an example of a diagram illustrating the content voucher exchange process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0249] As shown in Figure 7, in this embodiment, application 111 can provide a content voucher exchange process that modifies and / or discards owner information for at least one content voucher CC and paired NFTs that have been matched and stored in the user account through transactions and / or use of a predetermined content voucher CC.

[0250] In other words, a user according to the embodiment can purchase content vouchers (CC) directly on the platform as a reward for participating in the survey, but can also acquire and manage at least one of the content vouchers (CC) through transactions between users based on the content voucher exchange process.

[0251] In this embodiment, application 111 can provide a content voucher exchange process that updates the owner information of the traded content voucher CC and paired NFTs in response to a transaction for a predetermined content voucher CC.

[0252] To this end, in this embodiment, application 111 can sense a predetermined user input to authenticate a predetermined content voucher CC after conducting a physical transaction for the predetermined content voucher CC. Hereinafter, for the sake of explanation, the user who sold the predetermined content voucher CC may be referred to as the first user, and the user who purchased the predetermined content voucher CC may be referred to as the second user.

[0253] In this embodiment, the application 111 can use the input of at least one user among the users who performed the transaction (in this embodiment, a first user and a second user) as the predetermined user input for authenticating the transaction, and once the input is detected, transaction authentication can be automatically applied to the trading partner as well.

[0254] In this embodiment, once the transaction is authenticated, application 111 can change the ownership information of the first content voucher and the first pair of NFTs matched thereto, which were traded based on the content voucher exchange process, from the first user to the second user.

[0255] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the application 111 can change the information (hereinafter referred to as user account information) that is matched and stored in each user account when the owner information is updated.

[0256] Specifically, in this embodiment, application 111 can change the first user account information of the first user who sold the first content voucher and the second user account information of the second user who purchased the first content voucher by updating the owner information.

[0257] More specifically, in this embodiment, application 111 can modify predetermined user account information by updating the owner information, deleting the first content voucher included in the first user account information, and adding the first content voucher to the second user account information.

[0258] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can provide a content voucher exchange process that discards the owner information of the used content voucher CC and paired NFT upon use with a predetermined content voucher CC. For the sake of explanation, the user who uses the predetermined content voucher CC may be referred to as the first user below.

[0259] To this end, in this embodiment, application 111 can obtain predetermined data for authenticating online and / or offline use of a predetermined content voucher CC based on the service platform server 200 and / or a predetermined external server (e.g., an online shopping mall server).

[0260] In one embodiment, application 111 can discard the owner information of the first content voucher and the first pair of NFTs matched thereto that were used based on the content voucher exchange process, once their use has been authenticated.

[0261] Furthermore, application 111 can destroy the first pair of NFTs that have been matched with the first content voucher.

[0262] In this case, the ownership information of the existing first content voucher and the first pair of NFTs matched thereto may be that of the first user.

[0263] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can change predetermined user account information by deleting the first content gift certificate included in the first user account information when the owner information is discarded.

[0264] On the other hand, in this embodiment, application 111 can provide a function to combine multiple content gift certificates (CC) stored in conjunction with the user account, as described above, according to predetermined criteria, and provide a reward (in this embodiment, a new NFT, etc.).

[0265] Figure 8 is an example of a diagram illustrating a method for providing a novel NFT according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0266] As shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, application 111 can provide a new NFT based on multiple content vouchers. (S309)

[0267] Specifically, in this embodiment, application 111 can provide new NFTs based on multiple content vouchers according to pre-set new NFT reward conditions.

[0268] Herein, the new NFT reward conditions according to the embodiment may include conditions such as a predetermined number of content vouchers, a predetermined set of serial numbers, and / or a condition for collecting all artist-specific image sets within a predetermined artist group (for example, an image collection for all members of group A and / or an image collection for all versions / concepts of artist B).

[0269] Furthermore, the new NFT according to the embodiment may be a newly provided NFT based on a plurality of content vouchers and / or a plurality of paired NFTs (hereinafter referred to as "a plurality of material contents") that are matched to the plurality of content vouchers.

[0270] In this case, the new NFT according to the embodiment may be at least one of the additional NFT and / or the higher-level NFT.

[0271] The aforementioned additional NFT may include one randomly selected digital content of a target artist from among at least one or more digital contents of a target artist pre-stored for a target artist matched with a content voucher and paired NFT already owned by the user.

[0272] Furthermore, the higher-level NFT may include one randomly selected target artist digital content from among target artist digital content in which predetermined content components have been upgraded for the same target artist.

[0273] In other words, the additional NFT can be provided regardless of whether the content components can be upgraded, as long as the target is the same as the target artist, and the higher-level NFT can be provided as an NFT with upgraded content components compared to a predetermined pair of NFTs that the user already possessed.

[0274] In other words, in this embodiment, such a predetermined new NFT may include an additional NFT provided in addition to the content voucher and pair NFT already held when the new NFT reward conditions are met, and / or a higher NFT provided when the new NFT reward conditions are met by extinguishing a predetermined pair NFT from the content voucher and pair NFT already held that falls under the new NFT reward conditions.

[0275] In other words, in this embodiment, application 111 can provide a predetermined new NFT by collecting multiple content gift certificates CC and / or multiple paired NFTs (600) that meet pre-set new NFT reward conditions.

[0276] In this embodiment, when multiple content vouchers CC stored in conjunction with the user account meet predetermined new NFT reward conditions, application 111 can provide additional NFTs (ANs) and / or predetermined reward PKs (e.g., offline fan meeting admission tickets and / or concert ticket purchase vouchers) to the NFTs already held by the user.

[0277] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when multiple content vouchers CC stored in conjunction with the user account meet predetermined new NFT reward conditions, application 111 can delete all NFTs already owned by the user through the combination and provide a higher-level NFT (UN). Various embodiments are possible, such as providing an additional higher-level NFT without deleting NFTs already owned by the user.

[0278] Here, the higher-level NFT according to the embodiment means an NFT in which predetermined content is added to each element of the artist digital content included in the multiple material content MCs used in the combination (in the embodiment, each element included in the main content and sub-content, and each such element may be pre-set to a default value when first provided to a given user), or an NFT in which the quality of existing content is improved.

[0279] Figure 9 shows an example of artist digital content according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0280] As shown in Figure 9, the artist digital content ADC can include at least one of the following: artist image 710, text 720, and auditory 730.

[0281] In one embodiment, the artist digital content ADC includes an artist image 710 as main content and may further include at least one of text 720 and an audition 730 as sub-content.

[0282] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first artist digital content may include one main content and at least one sub-content.

[0283] In this embodiment, the artist image 710 included in the artist digital content ADC is an image of the artist as an individual and / or group that represents the artist's appearance, and may be, for example, one of the following: a photograph or image of the artist, or a drawing (e.g., a caricature).

[0284] In other embodiments, the text 720 may also consist of numbers and letters that are superimposed on the artist image 710. For example, it may include the artist's album name, the artist's personal and / or group name, an anniversary, etc. It may also include an image of text written by the artist.

[0285] In addition, in this embodiment, the text 720 may consist of a font specified by the user and / or administrator, or a font that includes the artist's actual typeface.

[0286] In this embodiment, the auditory content 730 can also refer to the content output as audio when a user inputs an affordance for selecting whether or not to output an auditory content on the artist image 710. For example, it may include a voice message consisting of a portion of the artist's sound source and the artist's voice.

[0287] In the embodiment, when the application 111 initially provides such artist digital content (ADC) to a predetermined user, it may provide the artist digital content with each element set to a default value in the form of an NFT.

[0288] In addition, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide superior NFTs with increased levels of each element included in a plurality of material contents (MC) through collection, combination (enhancement / synthesis), and the like.

[0289] The elements according to the embodiment may include the resolution and image playback length of the artist image 710 included in the main content of the artist digital content ADC, the number and attributes of the texts 720 included in the sub-content, and the sound quality and audio playback length of the auditory content 730.

[0290] More specifically, the elements may include a first element corresponding to the resolution of the main content, a second element corresponding to the image playback length of the main content, a third element corresponding to the number of texts 720 of the sub-content, a fourth element corresponding to the attributes of the texts 720 of the sub-content, a fifth element corresponding to the sound quality of the auditory content 730 of the sub-content, and a sixth element corresponding to the audio playback length of the auditory content 730 of the sub-content.

[0291] In other words, in the embodiment, the application 111 can provide superior NFTs with increased levels of the first to sixth elements through collection, combination (enhancement / synthesis), and the like.

[0292] To this end, in the embodiment, the application 111 can set predetermined detailed levels (e.g., first to tenth levels) for each of the first to sixth elements.

[0293] In this case, the detail steps can range from the first step being the lowest quality / quality attribute to the tenth step being the highest quality / quality attribute. Furthermore, the first step can be the step designated as the default.

[0294] Specifically, in the embodiment, application 111 can set a first step with the lowest resolution to a tenth step with the highest resolution in the first element of the resolution of the main content.

[0295] Furthermore, in the embodiment, the application 111 can set the first step to the case where the artist image 710 included in the main content is a fixed image that does not move, as a second element for the image playback length of the main content, and set the second step to the tenth step to which the image playback length is shortest.

[0296] Furthermore, in the embodiment, the application 111 can set a third element for the number of texts 720 in the subcontent, ranging from a first step where there are 0 texts 720 to a tenth step where there are 10 texts 720.

[0297] In addition, in the embodiment, application 111 can set a fourth element for the text 720 attribute of the subcontent, ranging from a first step where zero attributes are added to the text 720 to a tenth step where ten attributes are added to the text 720. In this case, the attributes added to the text 720 may include font upgrades, character size upgrades, and the addition of effects (e.g., glow and movement).

[0298] Furthermore, in the embodiment, application 111 can set a fifth element for the sound quality of the sub-content auditory 730, ranging from a first step where the sound quality of the auditory 730 is lowest to a tenth step where the sound quality is highest.

[0299] Furthermore, in the embodiment, application 111 can set a sixth element for the audio playback length of the sub-content's auditory 730, ranging from a first step where the audio playback length of the auditory 730 is shortest to a tenth step where the audio playback length is longest.

[0300] In other words, in this embodiment, when the application 111 satisfies predetermined new NFT reward conditions, the first to sixth elements can eliminate a plurality of material content MCs set in the first step, and the first to sixth elements can randomly determine and provide higher-ranking NFTs set in the second step or beyond.

[0301] In this case, the top NFT that is randomly determined and provided may be a top NFT in which the predetermined information (e.g., artist information) contained in the multiple material content MCs is the same, but only the steps of the predetermined elements differ.

[0302] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can set predetermined persistence conditions under which, if a new NFT is provided in accordance with the new NFT reward conditions, the new NFT reward conditions must be maintained indefinitely.

[0303] For example, the persistence condition may be that, if 10 content vouchers are collected and a new NFT is obtained, the 10 content vouchers must remain matched and stored in the user account.

[0304] In this embodiment, if the application 111 detects that the predetermined persistence conditions set above have not been met (for example, the exchange (transaction / use) of at least one content voucher CC and / or paired NFT), it may change the state of the provided new NFT.

[0305] Specifically, in this embodiment, if application 111 detects that the predetermined persistence conditions set above have not been met, it can change the state of the provided new NFT by 1) discarding the provided new NFT.

[0306] Furthermore, in this embodiment, application 111 can change predetermined user account information by deleting the new NFT included in the first user account information of the first user who was provided with the new NFT, upon the disposal of the new NFT.

[0307] Furthermore, in the embodiment, if application 111 detects that the predetermined persistence conditions set above have not been met, it can change the state of the provided new NFT by 2) downgrading each elemental step of the artist digital content included in the provided new NFT.

[0308] To this end, in this embodiment, application 111 can randomly select at least one element from the first to sixth elements included in the new NFT.

[0309] Furthermore, in the embodiment, application 111 can reduce the number of steps set for the selected element by at least one step.

[0310] For example, in this embodiment, application 111 can reduce the audio playback length of the artist digital content included in the new NFT from 10 steps to 1 step.

[0311] Furthermore, in the embodiment, if application 111 detects that the predetermined persistence conditions set above have not been met, it can change the state of the provided new NFT by 3) removing each element of the artist's digital content contained in the provided new NFT.

[0312] Similarly, for this purpose, in an embodiment, the application 111 can randomly select at least one element from among the first to sixth elements included in the new NFT.

[0313] Further, in an embodiment, the application 111 can remove the selected element. At this time, the predetermined element to be selected and removed can be limited to sub-contents (e.g., text 720 and / or audience 730).

[0314] For example, as further shown in FIG. 9, in an embodiment, the application 111 can remove the text 720 included in the artist digital content ADC included in the new NFT.

[0315] Through the method as described above, in an embodiment, the application 111 can improve user satisfaction by providing a new NFT of improved quality based on a plurality of content gift certificates, stimulate the user's desire for collection by changing the attributes of the new NFT, and activate the gift certificate and NFT trading market.

[0316] On the other hand, in an embodiment, if it is determined through step S303 that the predetermined gift certificate held by the user is a general gift certificate, the application 111 can provide a general gift certificate usage interface. (S305-2)

[0317] At this time, the general gift certificate usage interface according to the embodiment may be an interface that provides a service that allows the user to use goods and / or services corresponding to the face value of the predetermined general gift certificate held by the user online and / or offline.

[0318] For example, in one embodiment, application 111 can provide a list of offline places to use gift certificates based on predetermined information (e.g., address information) entered by the user when they register as a member, or it can provide a list of online places to use gift certificates (e.g., Gifticon Shop and Kyobo Bookstore Online).

[0319] As described above, the gift certificate NFT-linked service provision method and system according to the embodiment of the present invention can instill in consumers the perception that NFTs are not intangible data without substance by integrating them with tangible physical assets. This has the effect of increasing consumer interest in NFTs and physical assets, lowering barriers to NFTs, increasing NFT trading rates, and revitalizing the NFT market.

[0320] Furthermore, the gift certificate NFT-linked service provision method and system according to the embodiment of the present invention have the effect of increasing environmental and financial efficiency in goods production by issuing a limited number of gift certificates based on demand, thereby preventing unnecessary expenses and losses that may arise from producing too few or too many gift certificates.

[0321] Furthermore, the gift certificate NFT-linked service provision method and system according to the embodiment of the present invention have the effect of enabling quick responses in the event of future changes in the status of the issued NFTs and / or problems arising from copyright disputes, by easily identifying and managing the owners of the issued NFTs.

[0322] Furthermore, the gift certificate NFT-linked service provision method and system according to the embodiment of the present invention have the effect of preventing the destruction of analog and digital environments by blockchain mining equipment and blockchain facilities by eliminating the indiscriminate generation of NFTs, maintaining excellent NFT quality, and improving confidence in the NFT market.

[0323] The embodiments of the present invention described above can be implemented in the form of program instructions that can be executed through various computer components and recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, etc., individually or in combination. The program instructions recorded on the computer-readable recording medium may be specifically designed and configured for the present invention, or may be publicly known and usable by those skilled in the computer software field.
