Solution Overview

Problem

Existing solutions for managing lease and rental agreements lack the ability to dynamically adjust capital investment based on market conditions, failing to utilize the benefits of blockchain technology for fungible financial instruments and smart contracts in volatile markets.

Innovation Solution

A blockchain-based ecosystem that allows item owners to control usage and profit from items through blockchain currency transactions, enabling dynamic capital adjustments by using smart contracts and blockchain currencies for lease, rental, or licensing agreements, involving entities like Lessor, Lessee, and the leased Item, with digital wallet accounts for transaction management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional lease agreements are used with fixed terms and periodic payments, then contractual stability is maintained, but the ability to dynamically adjust capital investment based on market conditions is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic capital adjustmentVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic lease terms through smart contracts that automatically adjust payment schedules and capital allocations based on real-time market conditions. The system transitions from static fixed-term leases to dynamic agreements where parameters such as payment amounts, lease durations, and capital investments can be modified during the lease period without requiring manual contract renegotiation, thereby achieving adaptability while maintaining system manageability through automated enforcement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a blockchain-based smart contract intermediary that mediates between lessors and lessees, enabling dynamic capital adjustments without direct negotiation. The smart contract acts as an automated intermediary that executes predetermined adjustment rules based on market indicators, eliminating the need for complex manual coordination while maintaining contractual stability through cryptographic enforcement of dynamic terms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If blockchain smart contracts are implemented for dynamic lease management, then market sensitivity and operational efficiency are enhanced, but transaction complexity and implementation difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational efficiencyVSAvoidimplementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service lease management through autonomous smart contracts that automatically execute lease operations including payment processing, capital adjustments, and term modifications without human intervention. The system monitors market conditions and autonomously adjusts lease parameters, performs automated reconciliations, and enforces contractual terms, thereby dramatically improving operational efficiency while reducing the need for complex manual implementation processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal blockchain-based lease management platform that handles multiple lease types, payment structures, and adjustment scenarios through a single smart contract framework. The system provides multi-functional capabilities including dynamic term adjustment, automated payment scheduling, capital allocation management, and market condition monitoring within one unified implementation, reducing overall system complexity despite the advanced functionality provided.

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

3Loss of energy

If usage-based leases with blockchain currency are utilized, then profit opportunities from varying market conditions are captured, but transaction security and control requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapital risk reductionVSAvoidtransaction security
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous feedback mechanisms where smart contracts monitor market conditions, usage metrics, and payment statuses in real-time, automatically adjusting lease terms and capital allocations based on observed conditions. The system provides feedback loops that capture profit opportunities from market variations while simultaneously monitoring transaction security parameters, enabling dynamic risk management that reduces capital exposure while maintaining robust security controls through automated detection and response to anomalous conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method and system comprise leasing of proprietary digitized items, or items containing digital processing components, where usage of items is enabled through digital processing means. Fungible blockchain currency amounts determine the degree of usage of items, where a finite amount of blockchain currency is available to lessors. Lessors may adjust their level of capitalization, allowing usage of items by lessees, by acquiring or disposing of blockchain currency in order to adjust to varying market demand for said items. In the case where blockchain currency represents cryptocurrency-based securities, owners of items or investors may profit by buying, selling and/or distributing said securities during varying market conditions.
