Description

Real-time NFT issuance method and system using a user terminal equipped with a camera

[0001] The present invention relates to a real-time NFT issuance method and system using a camera-equipped user terminal, characterized in that in issuing NFTs, photos or videos taken using a user terminal such as a camera-equipped mobile phone, laptop, watch, tablet, digital camera, or drone are minted in real time to issue NFTs, and the NFTs are listed on an NFT exchange and SNS using the Internet or stored in the user's electronic wallet.

[0002] A Non-Fungible Token (NFT) is a token representing a scarce digital asset. While utilizing blockchain technology, NFTs, unlike traditional virtual assets, assign a unique recognition value to each digital asset, making them non-interchangeable.

[0003] Unlike volatile assets like Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, each NFT is one of a kind and cannot be exchanged for an equivalent item.

[0004] NFTs can digitalize art, music, videos, and more.

[0005] NFTs are issued by "minting" on a blockchain platform using smart contracts. This process involves converting digital assets into unique tokens on the blockchain.

[0006] NFT issuers can create unique metadata for each NFT by setting various parameters for the NFT, such as NFT name and NFT description.

[0007] The ownership and authenticity of NFTs are verified through blockchain technology, ensuring they are unique and uncopyable. These NFTs are valuable to collectors and investors, who can buy and sell them as a way to own digital art or other unique digital content.

[0008] The value of these NFTs is determined by factors such as the rarity, authenticity, and provenance of the underlying digital asset.

[0009] The above NFTs represent a new way for artists, creators, and collectors to monetize and trade digital content.

[0010] Previously, in order to issue an NFT, there were many preparatory steps to go through, including obtaining the artwork, digitizing the artwork, and accessing a minting platform to issue the NFT. This took a considerable amount of time.

[0011] Meanwhile, the above background technology is technical information that was possessed for the purpose of deriving the present invention or acquired in the process of deriving the present invention, and cannot necessarily be said to be a publicly known technology disclosed to the general public prior to the application of the present invention.

[0012] The problem to be solved by the present invention relates to a real-time NFT issuance method and system using a user terminal equipped with a camera, which mints photos and videos created using the user terminal equipped with a camera into NFTs in real time and lists the NFTs.

[0013] In order to achieve the above purpose, an NFT minting setting section is added to one side of a user terminal equipped with a camera, such as a mobile phone, laptop, watch, tablet, digital camera, drone, etc. according to the present invention, or an NFT minting setting section is added to one side of a mobile web or app program so that parameters can be set during minting, and NFTs are minted simultaneously with camera shooting and NFT-specific metadata is generated.

[0014] The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned will be described below so that those skilled in the art can clearly understand them.

[0015] A real-time NFT issuance method and system using a user terminal equipped with a camera according to one embodiment of the present invention,

[0016] The user terminal is equipped with a camera and goes through the steps of setting the NFT parameters required for minting in the NFT minting settings section.

[0017] Photos or videos taken with a camera are minted according to the parameters set in the NFT minting settings above.

[0018] NFTs issued through the Internet network are listed on NFT exchanges and social media, or stored in the user's electronic wallet.

[0019] An electronic wallet is required during the NFT minting process and is provided for fees and user authentication.

[0020] The above electronic wallet can use various types of blockchain wallets such as MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet.

[0021] The parameters included in the above NFT minting settings section include a program that can be set to include one or more parameters from among blockchain, NFT name, NFT description, NFT sales price, token standard, wallet address, link value, size of the photograph, file size of the photograph, layout of the photograph, file storage location, NFT sharing method, and minting method when minting NFT.

[0022] According to the above settings, photos and videos are taken using the camera on the user's terminal, and after shooting is complete, the user authenticates himself using the connected electronic wallet to confirm whether or not to issue NFTs.

[0023] When the above NFT is approved, a smart contract of standard specifications such as ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC721A, ERC-1155, and KIP-17 and metadata containing parameters set in the NFT minting settings section are created.

[0024] The above NFT metadata is currently primarily in JSON metadata format, ensuring consistency and interoperability across different blockchain applications and NFT platforms, making it easier to discover unique digital assets and share NFTs.

[0025] The NFT issued above is listed on one or more NFT exchanges and SNS set in the NFT sharing method of the NFT minting setup program using the Internet network, or is stored in the user's electronic wallet.

[0026]

[0027] Alternatively, you can select and list NFT exchanges and SNS from the list exposed after NFT minting.

[0028] The NFT exchange and SNS linked above are basically equipped with a platform that supports NFT and are linked with a real-time NFT issuance method and system using a user terminal equipped with a camera according to the present invention.

[0029] The NFT issuance method and system for real-time NFT using a user terminal equipped with a camera according to the present invention can convert digital works into NFTs in real time through a user terminal equipped with a camera anywhere in the world, and can prove ownership, thereby creating intellectual property that can be shared and sold immediately through the Internet.

[0030] As described above, the real-time NFT issuance method and system using a user terminal equipped with a camera can quickly mint NFTs by setting the parameters in advance in the NFT minting setting section without cumbersome procedures and list them in real time or store them in one's electronic wallet.

[0031] Existing general NFTs were issued by converting images, sound sources, videos, and various certificates into digital content and then attaching them to an NFT exchange platform.

[0032] This existing method can be likened to a recorded broadcast, while the NFT issuance method according to the present invention can be likened to a live broadcast.

[0033] In other words, photos or videos can be converted into NFTs immediately after taking them, and they will have unique metadata, enabling proof of ownership.

[0034] In addition, previously, it was only a simple sharing concept of uploading travel, news, food photos, etc. to various SNS, but by using the real-time NFT issuance method and system using a user terminal equipped with a camera according to the present invention, digital content of photos or videos taken by users can be quickly issued as NFTs anywhere in the world, and intellectual property rights can be secured through proof of ownership beyond the simple sharing concept, making NFT trading possible.

[0035] The effects of the present invention are not limited to the effects described above, and various effects may be included within a range apparent to those skilled in the art from the contents described below.
