Blockchain Content Co-Creation With NFT Provenance Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies do not enable artists to selectively charge for collaborative works, limit collaboration participants, or provide provenance proofs for digital and physical content creations, hindering artist-fan collaboration and verification of content origin.
Innovation Solution
Implementing blockchain-based Non-Fungible Token (NFT) platforms that allow content creators to issue, mint, and transfer NFTs, enabling derivative tokens for collaborative works, with integrated digital and physical representation evolution features, and secure access management through smart contracts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional content creation models are used, then artists can create content freely, but they cannot selectively charge for collaborative works or verify provenance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments content creation rights into different token types (building block tokens, derivative tokens) that can be independently controlled and verified. Each token represents a specific level of access and ownership, allowing artists to selectively grant collaboration rights while maintaining provenance tracking through the distributed ledger.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces cryptographic tokens and distributed ledger technology as intermediaries between artists and collaborators. These tokens serve as verifiable proof of ownership and collaboration rights, enabling both collaboration control and provenance verification simultaneously through the immutable record-keeping of the ledger.
2Ease of operation
If open collaboration is allowed, then content creation is flexible and accessible, but access rights and ownership cannot be securely managed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service access rights management where the system automatically handles authentication, authorization, and ownership tracking through smart contracts and cryptographic verification. Users can independently manage their tokens and access rights without requiring complex manual permission systems, making collaboration accessible while security is automatically enforced.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses cryptographic parameters (public keys, private keys, digital signatures) to dynamically manage access rights. By changing cryptographic parameters rather than managing complex permission structures, the system achieves both ease of operation for users and robust security for access control.
3Reliability
If blockchain technology is implemented for secure recording, then provenance can be verified, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complex blockchain verification logic into standardized smart contracts and cryptographic protocols that operate autonomously. By separating the verification mechanism from the application logic, the system achieves reliable transaction verification while presenting a simpler interface to users who don't need to understand the underlying cryptographic complexity.

AI summary
In various embodiments, a device can be configured to evolve in response to a token evolution, the token recorded on a distributed ledger. The device can include an output device, memory, and a processor. The processor configured to receive an identifier and a first authenticator value associated with a token. The processor further configured to determine a state associated with the token, and receive a signal. The signal including a second authenticator value. The processor further configured to determine whether the second authenticator value matches a third authenticator value. The processor further configured to generate a transaction record when the second authenticator value matches the third authenticator value and the second authenticator value satisfies the condition. The processor further configured to transmit the transaction record. The transaction record capable of being used to compute a challenge for securely adding the transaction record to a distributed ledger using a cryptographic system.
