Blockchain Virtual Pet Gene Storage for Authenticity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virtual pet display systems are vulnerable to tampering and replication of value attribute information, as the information displayed can be easily manipulated or copied from one virtual pet to another.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a blockchain system to store and manage unique gene sequences for virtual pets, ensuring the authenticity and uniqueness of displayed information by using a genetic inheritance algorithm and consensus mechanisms across multiple nodes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional display interface is used to show virtual pet information, then the interface is simple and easy to implement, but the information can be easily tampered with and replicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a blockchain system as an intermediary between the virtual pet display interface and the information storage. The blockchain acts as a mediator that verifies and authenticates virtual pet information before it is displayed, preventing tampering and replication while maintaining a relatively simple user interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional server-based information verification with a blockchain-based verification mechanism. Instead of relying on centralized server authentication, the system uses distributed blockchain technology to verify virtual pet information, enhancing reliability without requiring complex server infrastructure.
2Reliability
If blockchain system is used to store virtual pet data, then information authenticity and uniqueness are ensured, but system complexity and data storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential virtual pet data (gene sequences, attributes, and metadata) and stores them on the blockchain, while separating non-critical data from the blockchain storage. This selective extraction approach ensures uniqueness and authenticity of critical information while minimizing blockchain complexity and storage requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent optimizes blockchain parameters such as block size, transaction frequency, and consensus mechanism to balance data storage requirements with system complexity. By adjusting these parameters, the system achieves reliable unique identification of virtual pets while controlling the complexity of the blockchain infrastructure.
3Adaptability or versatility
If genetic inheritance algorithm is used to generate virtual pets, then diversity and uniqueness are improved, but the complexity of pet generation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the virtual pet generation process into distinct modules: gene sequence generation, characteristic mapping, and virtual pet assembly. The genetic inheritance algorithm works with segmented gene blocks that can be independently generated and combined, creating diverse virtual pets while keeping the generation algorithm manageable through modular design.

AI summary
A method for displaying a virtual pet is provided. The method includes: determining a target virtual pet to-be-displayed in an application program; obtaining first information of the target virtual pet from a server, the first information being stored on a blockchain system and corresponding to the target virtual pet; and displaying a first display interface associated the target virtual pet, the first display interface including the first information of the target virtual pet.
