Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional gaming systems are limited to a single channel and do not provide seamless integration and transferability of rewards or NFTs across different gaming platforms, leading to restricted user engagement and lack of trust in transactions.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a blockchain infrastructure and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to enable cross-channel gaming experiences, allowing NFTs to be actioned across various gaming channels, with a digital ledger platform to record transactions and smart contracts to manage NFT states and transfers, ensuring security and transparency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional single-channel gaming systems are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but user engagement and trust across multiple platforms are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecross-channel transferabilityVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal blockchain-based reward system that functions across multiple gaming channels (online, offline, mobile, desktop). The blockchain ledger and smart contracts provide a common infrastructure that enables rewards and NFTs to be transferred universally across all channels, resolving the contradiction between cross-channel versatility and system complexity by providing a single multi-functional platform.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces blockchain technology and smart contracts as intermediary layers between different gaming channels. This intermediary infrastructure mediates the transfer of rewards and NFTs across channels, enabling cross-platform compatibility without requiring direct integration between each gaming channel, thus managing system complexity while achieving universal transferability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If blockchain infrastructure is implemented for cross-channel NFT transfer, then transferability and trust are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction transparencyVSAvoidblockchain integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements smart contracts that automatically execute reward distribution and NFT transfer operations on the blockchain without requiring manual intervention. The self-service nature of smart contracts ensures transparent and reliable transactions while reducing the operational complexity of managing blockchain integrations, as the system autonomously handles verification and execution of transfer rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If rewards are restricted to single-channel use, then system complexity is reduced, but user engagement and loyalty are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereward redemption flexibilityVSAvoidreward management system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal reward system where rewards and NFTs earned in any gaming channel can be redeemed or transferred to any other channel. This multi-functional capability allows players to use rewards flexibly across online, offline, mobile, and desktop platforms, significantly improving ease of operation and user engagement while the underlying blockchain infrastructure manages the complexity of cross-channel reward management.

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

AI summary

Systems and methods are provided for gaming solutions across different gaming channels, different entities, and different environments using blockchain and/or non-fungible token (NFT) components and/or functionality. In an embodiment, a computing system can associate an NFT with a game session executed via a gaming device associated with a gaming environment, where the NFT is configured to allow for recreation of the game session via a local device associated with the gaming environment or a remote device associated with a second environment being different from the gaming environment. In another embodiment, a computing system and/or a gaming device can: perform a blockchain mining process and concurrently execute a game; track one or more game participation metrics corresponding to a player participating in the game and provide the player with a defined percentage of a token based at least in part on the one or more game participation metrics.
