A method for issuing digital collectibles and writing off related rights Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the application technology of digital collectibles in business scenarios of real-world value, specifically to a method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights, which can be applied to merchants in the fields of culture and sports, cultural tourism, civil aviation, games, and metaverse. Background Technology
[0002] Digital collectibles, as an emerging cultural and artistic medium in the digital age, are virtual items that exist in digital form and possess profound collectible value and unique artistic charm. They transcend the boundaries of the traditional physical world, appearing in diverse forms in cyberspace, including but not limited to exquisite digital artworks, melodious digital music, captivating short videos, creatively designed rare in-game items, and even virtual lands in the metaverse. These collectibles not only enrich the cultural content of the digital world but also provide collectors with a completely new and infinitely possible field of collecting.
[0003] Within the current technological framework, the mainstream implementation of digital collectibles is through the non-fungible token (NFT) mechanism based on blockchain technology. NFT technology, through the distributed ledger and encryption algorithms of blockchain, creates a globally unique and tamper-proof digital identity for each digital asset—a unique identifier and authentication information. This characteristic fundamentally guarantees the scarcity and non-replicability of digital collectibles, solving the problems of difficulty in establishing ownership and easy replication of assets in the digital world, enabling digital collectibles to possess a unique identity and value, just like physical artworks.
[0004] However, current applications primarily focus on the issuance and technical construction of digital collectibles. While this has successfully provided a transparent and trustworthy trading environment for digital collectibles, further exploration of their real-world value remains to be done. In the future, with the continuous maturation of technology and the increasing market demand, the application scenarios for digital collectibles will become more diverse and abundant.
[0005] Therefore, finding a way to link digital collectibles with their rights while ensuring that both digital collectibles and rights retain their scarcity, non-replicability, and immutability is a pressing issue that the industry needs to address. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The following provides a brief overview of one or more aspects to offer a basic understanding of them. This overview is not an exhaustive summary of all conceived aspects, nor is it intended to identify key or decisive elements of all aspects, nor to define the scope of any or all aspects. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of one or more aspects in a simplified form to prepare for the more detailed descriptions that follow.
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above problems and provide a method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights. By binding rights and digital collectibles through contracts, the creation, issuance and verification of rights are recorded on the blockchain where the digital collectibles are located, thus achieving the effect of immutability of rights.
[0008] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: This invention discloses a method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights, the method including a process of binding digital collectibles and rights through a digital rights smart contract, and a process of confirming and exercising rights after a user purchases a digital collectible, wherein:
[0009] The process of binding digital collectibles and rights through digital rights smart contracts further includes:
[0010] First, the metadata of digital collectibles is initialized through smart contracts to establish the basic information and attributes of digital collectibles and to give each digital collectible a unique digital identity.
[0011] Subsequently, a digital rights smart contract was created to bind the ownership and real-world rights of the digital collectibles to the digital collectibles, ensuring the clarity and enforceability of the real-world rights;
[0012] Subsequently, before the digital collection is released, compliance and security audits are conducted through the digital rights platform.
[0013] Finally, digital collectibles and real-world rights will be deployed to the blockchain network to achieve their permanent existence and verifiability in the digital world;
[0014] The process for confirming and exercising ownership rights after a user purchases a digital collectible further includes:
[0015] First, after a user purchases a digital collectible on a digital rights platform, the platform first confirms the user's ownership of the purchased digital collectible and related real-world rights.
[0016] Subsequently, the digital rights platform distributes the rights, mapping and recording the rights obtained by users on the blockchain through digital rights smart contracts;
[0017] After a user exercises their rights, the digital rights platform will verify and cancel those rights.
[0018] After the rights are redeemed, the user's rights status is updated in real time. At the same time, the interface for updating the rights status of the smart contract is called to synchronize the latest rights status to be reflected in the blockchain network.
[0019] According to one embodiment of the method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights and interests according to the present invention, the basic information of the digital collectibles is embedded into a smart contract in a structured data format using a programming language to ensure the accuracy and immutability of the information; assigning a unique digital identity to each digital collectible further includes utilizing the decentralized and immutable characteristics of blockchain, whereby the smart contract generates a unique hash value or non-fungible token ID for each digital collectible as a unique credential of its digital identity.
[0020] According to one embodiment of the method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights according to the present invention, in the process of creating a smart contract for digital rights, the types of real rights carried by the digital collectibles, as well as the conditions and restrictions for exercising these rights, are clearly defined, and the logical framework of the smart contract is designed based on these requirements. The smart contract code is written using a blockchain programming language according to the designed logical framework.
[0021] According to one embodiment of the method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights according to the present invention, during the binding process, a smart contract generates a unique non-fungible token for the digital collectible when it is created. This non-fungible token not only represents the identity of the digital collectible but also symbolizes its ownership. Through the transfer function of the smart contract, the ownership of the non-fungible token is securely and traceably transferred between different blockchain addresses. The smart contract embeds the real rights of the digital collectible in a coded form.
[0022] According to one embodiment of the method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights and interests based on the present invention, compliance review typically includes copyright review, content compliance review, qualification and license review, and security review typically includes technical security review, data privacy protection review, and smart contract security review.
[0023] According to one embodiment of the method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights according to the present invention, the process of deploying digital collectibles and real-world rights to a blockchain network further includes:
[0024] Choose the appropriate blockchain platform based on your needs;
[0025] Configure blockchain nodes, including full nodes and light nodes;
[0026] During the process of deploying smart contracts to a blockchain network, the corresponding triggering conditions and execution logic are set;
[0027] The data of digital collectibles is hashed to generate a unique digital fingerprint. The digital fingerprint and related metadata are stored on the blockchain, which transforms real-world rights into a digital form and links them to the blockchain network through smart contracts.
[0028] According to one embodiment of the method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights and interests based on the present invention, the rights and interests confirmation process for digital collectibles further includes transaction confirmation, smart contract execution, rights and interests information update, and rights and interests certificate generation.
[0029] According to one embodiment of the method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights and interests based on the present invention, the digital rights and interests platform maps user rights and interests information to smart contracts, including: matching user account information with holder information in smart contracts, and matching the specific content of rights and interests with rights and interests information in smart contracts, wherein the accuracy and consistency of information are ensured during the mapping process.
[0030] According to one embodiment of the method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights according to the present invention, the digital rights platform provides three interactive methods for rights verification: scanning code, physical delivery, and redemption code.
[0031] According to one embodiment of the method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights according to the present invention, real-time updating of the user's rights status includes: marking the verified rights as "used" or "expired" and updating information including the user's remaining rights quantity; after the verification is completed, the state of the smart contract changes, and the digital rights platform confirms that the rights status has been updated by calling the query function of the smart contract or reading the state information on the blockchain. At the same time, the digital rights platform also synchronizes these updated state information back to its own database to ensure consistency with the state on the blockchain.
[0032] Compared with existing technologies, this invention offers the following advantages: First, the method of this invention, through digital rights smart contracts managed by this digital rights platform, not only records the ownership of collectibles but also maps the real-world rights associated with them. These rights may include, but are not limited to, ownership of physical collectibles, the right to purchase limited-edition products, and eligibility to participate in specific activities. Its advantage is that all rights records related to collectibles will be permanently stored on the blockchain, providing users, merchants, and regulatory agencies with a clear record of rights transfer and usage. Second, in the rights exercise process of this invention, all changes to real-world rights are updated to the blockchain network in real time through digital rights smart contracts. This update mechanism not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of rights management but also provides users with a secure and reliable rights guarantee. Through blockchain technology, users' rights are permanently recorded and protected, ensuring the immutability and traceability of rights, and ensuring that users' rights in both the real and digital worlds are realized and protected to the greatest extent possible. Attached Figure Description
[0033] The above-described features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood after reading the following detailed description of embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, components are not necessarily drawn to scale, and components having similar related characteristics or features may have the same or similar reference numerals.
[0034] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of the process of binding digital collectibles and related rights through a contract in one embodiment of the method for issuing digital collectibles and redeeming related rights according to the present invention.
[0035] Figure 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of the rights confirmation and exercise process after a user purchases a digital collectible, according to one embodiment of the method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0036] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the aspects described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments are merely exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.
[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2 for an embodiment of the method for issuing digital collectibles and verifying related rights in this invention. The method is divided into a process of binding digital collectibles and rights through a digital rights smart contract and a process of confirming and exercising rights after a user purchases a digital collectible.
[0038] For details on the process of binding digital collectibles and rights through digital rights smart contracts, please refer to Figure 1.
[0039] First, the metadata of the digital collectibles is initialized through smart contracts, establishing the basic information and attributes of each collectible and assigning it a unique digital identity. A smart contract is a program that runs on the blockchain and automatically executes its terms when preset conditions are met. Once deployed to the blockchain, the code and terms of the smart contract can be executed automatically without the intervention of intermediaries or third parties. The code of the smart contract is visible to all network participants, meaning anyone can verify the contract's logic.
[0040] The basic information of digital collectibles includes, but is not limited to, name, creator, release date, series number, descriptive text, and copyright information. This information is embedded into smart contracts in a structured data format using a programming language, ensuring the accuracy and immutability of the information.
[0041] The attributes of digital collectibles include rarity, type (such as artwork, music clips, game items, etc.), tradability, transaction history (automatically recorded by the blockchain after the first transaction), and physical attributes (such as size, color, etc., although this may not apply to some purely digital assets). These attributes not only enrich the value dimensions of digital collectibles but also provide important basis for subsequent pricing, trading, and user experience.
[0042] Leveraging the decentralized and immutable nature of blockchain, smart contracts generate a unique hash value or NFT (non-fungible token) ID for each digital collectible, serving as a unique credential of its digital identity. This ID is tightly bound to the digital collectible's metadata, ensuring that the identity and ownership of the digital collectible can be accurately identified and verified even in different trading scenarios.
[0043] Subsequently, a digital rights smart contract is created to bind the ownership and real-world rights of digital collectibles to them, ensuring the clarity and enforceability of the real-world rights. Ownership of digital collectibles refers to the use of blockchain technology to generate a unique digital certificate on the chain, representing ownership or usage rights. This certificate is characterized by immutability, indivisibility, and limited issuance. Real-world rights refer to various rights people possess in the real world, such as property rights and intellectual property rights.
[0044] Digital rights, or NFRs (Non-Fungible Rights), are digital assets in the blockchain space that represent unique and non-fungible rights to goods or services. Each NFR possesses unique attributes and value. The uniqueness of NFRs stems from blockchain technology, using smart contracts for issuance, trading, and recording on the blockchain. Each NFR has a unique identifier, enabling accurate location and verification. Unlike traditional NFTs, NFRs place greater emphasis on integration with the real economy; each NFR needs a corresponding real-world right.
[0045] During the creation process, the types of real-world rights embodied in the digital collectibles are clearly defined, such as usage rights, income rights, and resale rights, as well as the conditions and restrictions for exercising these rights. Based on these requirements, a logical framework for smart contracts is designed, including rules for the allocation, transfer, and exercise of rights. Using blockchain programming languages such as Solidity and Vyper, smart contract code is written according to the designed logical framework. The code must include functional modules for the initialization, querying, transfer, and exercise of rights, and ensure that all operations comply with the security and decentralization principles of blockchain.
[0046] During the binding process, when a digital collectible is created, a smart contract generates a unique NFT (Non-Fungible Token) for it. This NFT not only represents the identity of the digital collectible but also symbolizes its ownership. Through the smart contract's transfer function, NFT ownership can be securely and traceably transferred between different blockchain addresses (i.e., different owners), thus realizing the digital management of digital collectible ownership. The smart contract embeds the real-world rights of the digital collectible in a coded form. For example, if the digital collectible is a digital painting, the smart contract can stipulate that its owner enjoys rights such as display and resale, while specifying details such as the profit-sharing ratio and copyright ownership during resale. The exercise and transfer of these rights must be verified and executed through the smart contract, ensuring the clarity and enforceability of the real-world rights.
[0047] Subsequently, before the digital collectibles are released, compliance and security audits are conducted through the digital rights platform. Compliance audits typically include copyright verification, content compliance verification, and qualification and licensing verification. Security audits typically include technical security verification, data privacy protection verification, and smart contract security verification.
[0048] The review process and mechanism include the following steps:
[0049] Submission for review: Issuers of digital collectibles need to submit relevant information about the digital collectibles (such as the content of the work, copyright certificate, issuance plan, etc.) to the digital rights platform for review.
[0050] Preliminary review: The digital rights platform conducts a preliminary review of the submitted information to determine whether it meets compliance and security requirements.
[0051] In-depth review: For digital collectibles that pass the initial review, the digital rights platform will conduct a more in-depth review, including copyright verification, content review, and technical security assessment.
[0052] Review Feedback: The digital rights platform will promptly provide feedback on the review results to the issuers of digital collectibles. For digital collectibles that fail the review, the platform must explain the specific reasons and provide suggestions for improvement.
[0053] Continuous monitoring: Digital rights platforms should continuously monitor the digital collectibles they have released to ensure that they always meet compliance and security requirements during use and trading.
[0054] Finally, digital collectibles and real-world rights are deployed to a blockchain network to achieve their permanent existence and verifiability in the digital world.
[0055] This involves selecting a suitable blockchain platform based on requirements, such as public chains like Ethereum and Bitcoin, or consortium blockchains built by governments and enterprises. Next, blockchain nodes, including full nodes and light nodes, are configured to ensure the stability and security of the blockchain network. During the deployment of smart contracts to the blockchain network, appropriate triggering conditions and execution logic are set.
[0056] The on-chaining of digital collectibles and real-world rights involves: hashing the data of digital collectibles (such as images, audio, and video) to generate a unique digital fingerprint; storing the digital fingerprint and related metadata (such as author, creation time, and copyright information) on the blockchain; and converting real-world rights into a digitizable form and linking them to the blockchain network via smart contracts.
[0057] For details on the process of confirming and exercising rights after a user purchases a digital collectible, please refer to Figure 2.
[0058] First, after a user purchases a digital collectible on a digital rights platform, the platform first confirms the user's ownership of the purchased digital collectible and related real-world rights.
[0059] The rights confirmation process further includes four steps: transaction confirmation, smart contract execution, rights information update, and rights certificate generation. The transaction confirmation step involves the following: after a user completes a purchase, the digital rights platform first verifies the validity of the transaction, including checking the transaction amount, the transaction object (i.e., the digital collectible), and the account information of both parties. Then, the digital rights platform uses blockchain's distributed ledger technology to ensure the authenticity and immutability of the transaction record.
[0060] Smart contract execution involves the following steps: Digital collectibles are typically linked to a blockchain network via smart contracts. After a transaction is confirmed, the digital rights platform triggers the corresponding smart contract to execute the transfer of the digital collectible. The smart contract automatically checks whether the transaction conditions are met (such as whether payment has been completed) and then executes the transfer of ownership of the collectible.
[0061] The rights and interests information update process includes: after the smart contract is executed, the digital rights and interests platform updates the rights and interests information on the blockchain, transferring ownership of the digital collectible from the seller to the buyer. If the digital collectible contains real-world rights (such as exhibition rights, reproduction rights, etc.), the digital rights and interests platform will also record the transfer of these rights and interests on the blockchain.
[0062] The certificate generation process includes: To provide legal evidence, the digital rights platform can generate a certificate of ownership for users. This certificate records in detail the transaction information, ownership transfer details, and related real-world rights of the digital collectible. The certificate uses a blockchain hash algorithm to generate a unique digital fingerprint, ensuring its authenticity and immutability.
[0063] Confirming a user's ownership of the purchased digital collectibles further includes: users can check their account information through the digital rights platform or blockchain explorer to confirm whether the purchased digital collectibles have been successfully transferred to their account. The platform provides functions such as account balance and transaction records inquiry, allowing users to easily understand their digital collectible holdings at any time.
[0064] Confirming a user's actual rights to the purchased digital collectibles further includes: for digital collectibles that include actual rights, the digital rights platform will clearly list the details of these rights in the ownership certificate. Users can understand their actual rights and how to use them by viewing the ownership certificate or contacting the platform's customer service.
[0065] Subsequently, the digital rights platform distributes rights, mapping and recording the rights obtained by users, such as ownership of physical collectibles, the right to purchase limited edition products, or eligibility to participate in specific activities, on the blockchain through digital rights smart contracts.
[0066] Digital rights platforms map users' rights information to smart contracts. This includes matching users' account information with holder information in the smart contract, and matching the specific content of the rights with the rights information in the smart contract. The mapping process needs to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the information to avoid disputes when exercising or transferring rights later.
[0067] After the mapping is completed, the digital rights platform uploads the smart contract and its contained user rights information to the blockchain network. This typically involves sending the smart contract's code and data to blockchain nodes in the form of transactions, where they are verified and recorded. Once the smart contract is recorded on the blockchain, its content and state become immutable and traceable. This provides users with legal protection, ensuring the authenticity and security of their rights.
[0068] When users exercise their rights, such as by redeeming physical collectibles or participating in activities, the digital rights platform verifies those rights. The platform offers three interaction methods for rights verification: scanning a QR code, physical delivery, and a redemption code. These three methods cater to different verification scenarios.
[0069] In QR code verification, the QR code typically contains key information such as the user's rights ID and verification code. The digital rights platform verifies the validity of the verification request by checking whether this information matches the rights information recorded on the blockchain.
[0070] In the process of verifying physical packages, the digital rights platform needs to connect with the courier company via API to obtain real-time logistics information. When the logistics information shows that the user has signed for the package, the platform automatically triggers a verification request and updates the user's rights status.
[0071] In the redemption code verification process, the redemption code is typically a unique string associated with the rights information recorded on the blockchain. The digital rights platform verifies the validity of the verification request by confirming whether the redemption code matches the rights information recorded on the blockchain.
[0072] After the verification is completed, the user's rights status is updated in real time. At the same time, the interface for updating the rights status of the smart contract is called to synchronize the latest rights status to be reflected in the blockchain network, providing the user with an instant and accurate record of rights usage.
[0073] Real-time updates to users' rights status include marking redeemed rights as "used" or "expired" and updating information such as the user's remaining rights quantity. After redemption, the smart contract's state changes. The digital rights platform confirms the updated status by calling the smart contract's query function or reading state information from the blockchain. Simultaneously, the digital rights platform can synchronize this updated state information back to its own database to ensure consistency with the state on the blockchain.
[0074] As can be seen from the process of the above embodiments, the method of the present invention can enhance the real value of digital collectibles, thereby building a business ecosystem that integrates the virtual and the real, as detailed below.
[0075] First, businesses can enhance the value of digital collectibles by linking them to real-world benefits. For example, combining digital collectibles with physical goods, exclusive experiences, or special services allows collectors to enjoy real-world benefits while owning virtual assets. This binding of benefits not only increases the attractiveness of digital collectibles but also gives them tangible value.
[0076] Secondly, establishing a sound verification mechanism is key to enhancing the real-world value of digital collectibles. Consumers can easily redeem digital collectibles for corresponding physical goods or services. The transparency and convenience of this verification process further strengthens consumers' recognition of the value of digital collectibles.
[0077] From rights and interests binding to redemption mechanisms and technological safeguards, each step represents an exploration of how virtual value can be transformed into real-world value. Through these methods, digital collectibles can not only occupy a place in the virtual world but also play a unique role in the real world, promoting the construction and development of a business ecosystem that integrates the virtual and real worlds.
