Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional NFTs are static artifacts that do not change over time, failing to reflect the interactive engagement and media consumption of their owners, limiting their dynamic potential as collectibles and progress trackers.

Innovation Solution

The development of temporally adaptive NFTs that can be modified based on associated events, content consumption, and user activities, utilizing an automated web3 framework to integrate streaming content and NFTs, allowing for automatic updates without manual handling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional NFTs are made static to maintain collectible value, then reliability is improved, but adaptability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollectible value stabilityVSAvoidNFT evolution capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements temporally adaptive NFTs that automatically evolve their attributes over time based on predefined temporal rules and events. The NFTs transition from static to dynamic states, where their properties change in response to temporal triggers such as time passages, user actions, or external events, thereby resolving the contradiction between stability and adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system modifies NFT parameters (attributes, metadata, visual characteristics) based on temporal conditions and user interactions. By changing NFT parameters dynamically while maintaining a structured evolution framework, the system preserves collectible value through predictable changes while enabling adaptability through responsive modifications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If NFTs are made dynamic to reflect user interactions, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveNFT evolution capabilityVSAvoidsystem automation framework
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements automated systems that monitor user interactions, detect relevant events, and trigger NFT modifications without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by automatically managing the entire workflow from interaction detection to NFT attribute updates, reducing the perceived complexity for users while enabling sophisticated dynamic behavior

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes feedback loops where user interactions with content or activities are continuously monitored and fed back to trigger appropriate NFT modifications. This automated feedback mechanism enables complex adaptive behavior through structured response patterns, managing system complexity through organized feedback processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If manual handling is used for NFT updates, then ease of operation is improved, but productivity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveupdate controlVSAvoidNFT update efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects user interactions, determines appropriate NFT modifications, and executes updates without requiring manual handling. This self-service approach maintains ease of operation for users while dramatically improving productivity by eliminating manual intervention in the update process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent pre-configures temporal rules, event triggers, and modification patterns before NFT deployment. These preliminary configurations enable the system to automatically execute appropriate updates in response to user interactions, improving productivity through pre-planned automation while keeping the user interface simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A system includes a hardware processor and a memory storing software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive a request from a user to link a non-fungible token (NFT) with a user account of the user, verify, in response to receiving the request, ownership of the NFT by the user, and link, in response to verifying, the NFT to the user account. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the software code to modify, based on at least one of the content viewing history of the user or a release date of a content available to the user, one or more attributes of the NFT.
