Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for generating non-fungible tokens (NFTs) lack the ability to create unique, visually recognizable digital objects that leverage machine learning and creativity, often resulting in repetitive outputs due to reliance on preset components and developer-defined rules, failing to provide sufficient differentiation and contextualization.

Innovation Solution

The method involves receiving NFT inputs into a one-way function, extracting features using a few-shot model, and amalgamating them via an artistic model to generate unique NFT outputs, which are then encoded with cryptographic tokens connected to smart contracts, allowing for randomized and personalized NFT generation based on user-specific parameters.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If preset components and developer-defined rules are used for NFT generation, then the generation process is simple and fast, but the output NFTs are repetitive and lack uniqueness

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveNFT generation speedVSAvoidNFT uniqueness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of preset components and rule-based assembly with an AI/ML-based generative model. Instead of programmatically assembling predefined digital assets according to fixed rules, the system uses trained neural networks to learn from existing NFTs and generate novel outputs, substituting deterministic algorithms with probabilistic machine learning models that produce unique results while maintaining generation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of the generation process by using learned models with adjustable parameters (weights, biases, attention mechanisms) that can be fine-tuned to control the balance between uniqueness and visual coherence. By modifying model parameters, training data composition, and generation conditions, the system can produce diverse NFTs without requiring complete redesign of the generation pipeline

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If machine learning models are used for NFT generation, then creativity and uniqueness are improved, but the computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveNFT creativityVSAvoidComputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training the machine learning models on large datasets of existing NFTs before actual generation. The models learn patterns, styles, and compositional rules in advance, so that during actual NFT generation, they can produce creative outputs efficiently without requiring complex real-time computations. The heavy computational work is performed beforehand during the training phase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses an intermediary approach by employing a hybrid architecture that combines elements of rule-based systems with machine learning models. The ML model acts as an intermediary that processes input parameters and generates intermediate representations, which are then refined or assembled into final NFTs. This intermediary layer reduces the computational burden compared to using pure end-to-end generative models

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If existing NFTs are used as input for generation, then contextual relevance and visual coherence are improved, but the ability to create truly novel outputs is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveVisual coherenceVSAvoidNovelty of output
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the generation process adaptive rather than static. The system can dynamically adjust the degree of novelty versus coherence based on input parameters, training data composition, and model configuration. By varying the balance between learning from existing NFTs and introducing randomization or external concepts, the system can produce outputs ranging from highly coherent (similar to inputs) to highly novel (truly new concepts), making the generation process flexible and adaptable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Methods and systems for generating a non-fungible token (NFT) based on an input of an existing NFT. The methods and systems include receiving NFT inputs into a one-way function; and generating an NFT output based on the NFT inputs such that the inputs cannot be identified by inverting the one-way function with the NFT output. The methods and systems provide for extracting features of the input via a few-shot model and identifying features from the extracted features for use in the generation of the NFT output. The identification is based upon distinctiveness, interoperability and/or exclusivity of the extracted features. The identified features are amalgamated via an artistic model in which the amalgamation includes matching elements of the identified features. The methods and systems also provide for encoding the matching elements to a cryptographic token connected to a smart contract that is associated with the NFT output.
