Blockchain Token Exchange for Mixed Reality Object Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack a standardized method to assign unique identifiers to objects in mixed reality environments, allowing for their alteration, transfer, swapping, exchange, and association with locations, which hinders the creation of collections and triggering events based on object transformations across users and platforms.
Innovation Solution
A token exchange system that utilizes blockchain ledger transactions to create and manage unique digital tokens linked to virtual or physical objects, enabling their exchange, duplication, and transformation within mixed reality environments, with features like token ownership, location association, and event triggering.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If no standardized system is used for object identification and exchange, then systems remain simple and decentralized, but objects cannot be uniquely identified, transferred, or associated with locations across users and platforms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a blockchain-based token system as an intermediary that enables standardized object identification and exchange across decentralized platforms. Tokens serve as the mediator between users, applications, and environments, providing a common language for object representation without requiring centralized control. This resolves the contradiction by enabling versatile object exchange through a neutral, distributed intermediary layer.
Solution Approach 2:
The token system is designed to be universal, serving multiple functions including unique object identification, ownership tracking, location association, and exchange facilitation across different users and platforms. A single token standard enables diverse applications (trading, gifting, collection management) without requiring platform-specific implementations, thus achieving adaptability without proportional increases in system complexity.
2Reliability
If digital tokens are implemented for object management, then secure and standardized exchange is enabled, but system complexity increases due to blockchain integration requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The blockchain-based token system operates autonomously, with the distributed ledger automatically validating and recording token transactions without requiring centralized verification. Smart contracts enforce exchange rules and ownership transfers programmatically, eliminating the need for complex manual verification systems. This self-service mechanism provides high reliability through cryptographic security while keeping the system architecture relatively simple by removing centralized trust requirements.
3Ease of operation
If tokens are made transferable and exchangeable across platforms, then object mobility and user interaction are enhanced, but tracking and managing token states becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The blockchain ledger provides continuous feedback on token states, ownership, and transaction history through an immutable, distributed record. Every token transfer, transformation, or association event is automatically recorded and visible to all network participants. This transparent feedback mechanism makes token state tracking straightforward despite high transferability, as the ledger continuously updates and reflects the current state without requiring complex external tracking systems.

AI summary
A system includes hardware processors and a token exchange module configured to create a uniquely identified first digital token including an owner ID field identifying the current possessor of the digital token, associate the first digital token with digital content presented to the first user in a mixed reality environment, present the digital within the MR environment, make the first digital token available for acquisition, receive a request to acquire the first digital token, assign possession of the first digital token, via the owner ID field, to the first unique user ID of the first user based on the request to acquire the first digital token, receive a request to transfer the first digital token from the first user to the second user, the second user having a second unique user ID, and changing the owner ID field to the second unique user ID based on the request to transfer.
