Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for transferring and fulfilling orders of digital assets, such as bulk digital gift cards, are inefficient and prone to errors, requiring users to navigate multiple interfaces and lack customization options, leading to potential unclaimed assets and unnecessary charges.

Innovation Solution

A centralized bulk digital asset fulfillment system that establishes communication connections with digital asset providers through APIs, prompts recipients to select token providers, and delivers digital representations of assets only upon successful transaction verification, optimizing resource allocation and reducing asset breakage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a centralized fulfillment system is implemented, then processing efficiency and accuracy improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a centralized fulfillment system that acts as an intermediary between token senders and token providers. This mediator coordinates bulk transfers, manages recipient selections, and orchestrates API communications with multiple token providers, thereby improving processing efficiency while centralizing complexity in a manageable location rather than distributing it across multiple user interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple token providers are supported, then system versatility improves, but interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetoken provider compatibilityVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fulfillment system is designed with universal functionality to support multiple token providers through a unified interface. The system can adapt to different token providers' APIs and requirements while presenting a consistent user experience, allowing bulk transfer requests to be processed across various providers without requiring users to navigate multiple specialized interfaces.

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

3Speed

If digital assets are delivered immediately, then transaction speed improves, but asset breakage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery speedVSAvoidasset breakage
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification actions before final asset delivery. It validates recipient selections, confirms token provider compatibility, and verifies transaction details in advance. This preliminary checking prevents erroneous deliveries and reduces asset breakage while maintaining efficient processing through automated validation workflows.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The fulfillment system implements feedback mechanisms to monitor and verify asset delivery status. It tracks whether recipients have successfully claimed their assets and provides feedback loops to identify and correct delivery issues before they result in asset breakage, thereby reducing losses while maintaining delivery speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: receiving, via a computing device of a token sender entity, a request to distribute value storage tokens in bulk to a plurality of intended recipient entities, the request identifying supported token providers for associating with the value storage tokens; presenting, via computing devices associated with the plurality of intended recipient entities, a prompt for selection of one of the supported token providers of the set; receiving, from the plurality of intended recipient entities, indications of respective selections of a supported token provider; responsive to receiving the indications, for each intended recipient entity: identifying an API associated with the selected supported token provider; and generating calls to the API for requesting to obtain a digital representation of a value storage token associated with the selected supported token provider; and receiving digital representations of the value storage tokens associated with the request.
