Solution Overview

Problem

Creators of artistic works often receive a small portion of earnings due to reliance on publishers, and existing blockchain-based copyright transactions primarily use common currencies, limiting diverse earning opportunities for creators.

Innovation Solution

A blockchain-based method and apparatus that enables copyright use transactions using virtual resources as transaction media, allowing creators to directly exchange and publish available resource quotas, enabling more diverse earning mechanisms by selecting target nodes and determining virtual resource quotas for earning increments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If creators use traditional currency-based transactions through publishers, then transactions can be conducted using common currencies, but creators receive only a small portion of earnings

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction convenienceVSAvoidearnings quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the intermediary publisher from the transaction chain by implementing direct peer-to-peer copyright transactions between creators and users on the blockchain. This removes the publisher's control over earnings distribution, allowing creators to receive full value from their works without intermediary deductions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the transaction medium parameter from traditional fiat currency to virtual resources (tokens) on the blockchain. This parameter change enables programmable earnings distribution through smart contracts, allowing creators to automatically receive earnings based on predefined rules without publisher intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If blockchain-based copyright transactions use common currencies, then transactions can be conducted, but earning opportunities remain limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveearning mechanism diversityVSAvoidearning opportunities
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the virtual resource token multi-functional by enabling it to serve both as a transaction medium for copyright usage and as an earnings distribution mechanism. The token can be used for purchasing copyright rights, receiving earnings, and potentially staking or governance, creating diverse earning opportunities beyond simple transaction fees.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic earnings distribution through smart contracts that can automatically adjust earnings based on various parameters such as usage frequency, user feedback, and market conditions. This dynamic mechanism creates diverse earning opportunities that adapt to changing conditions rather than fixed publisher-determined rates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If publishers distribute art works, then distribution can be achieved, but a large part of earnings belongs to the publisher

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistribution efficiencyVSAvoidcreator earnings
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables creators to self-distribute their works directly to users through the blockchain network without publisher intervention. The smart contract automatically handles the distribution process, rights management, and earnings allocation, allowing creators to maintain full control and receive all earnings while preserving efficient distribution capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Quantity of substance

If direct creator-to-user distribution is implemented, then creators can acquire earnings directly, but transaction mechanisms need to be more diverse

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecreator earningsVSAvoidtransaction mechanism diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a smart contract as an intermediary that automates the direct transaction between creator and user. The smart contract handles rights verification, earnings calculation, and distribution automatically, enabling direct creator-to-user transactions while providing the complexity management and trust mechanisms that would otherwise be provided by publishers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Blockchain-based exchange method and apparatus for available resource quotas are disclosed. An example of method comprises: selecting, by a management node of a blockchain network, a set of object nodes as a target object according to a selection rule; determining, by the management node for each object node in the target object, a resource quota; determining, by the management node for the each object node, virtual resources corresponding to the resource quota as virtual resource decrements corresponding to the object node; and constructing, by the management node, a quota exchange transaction comprising the determined virtual resource decrements corresponding to the object node, and adding the quota exchange transaction to a blockchain on the blockchain network.
