Solution Overview

Problem

Digital asset management platforms face challenges in making licensed digital content interactive and dynamic, limiting consumer engagement and failing to provide timely royalty payments and effective tracking of intellectual property rights.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for generating code snippets using a software-as-a-service interface, which includes acquiring digital assets, generating metadata and access URLs, and applying abstraction processes to create interactive and embeddable code snippets, leveraging blockchain for royalty payments and tracking.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If digital content is licensed through traditional digital asset management platforms, then legal copyright licensing is enabled, but the content remains static and non-interactive, limiting consumer engagement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconsumer engagementVSAvoidcontent interactivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static digital content into dynamic interactive experiences by embedding code snippets that enable real-time interactions. The system generates interactive code snippets that can be embedded in various platforms, allowing content to respond to user actions, provide contextual information, and enable commerce opportunities dynamically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces code snippets as an intermediary layer between the licensed digital content and the consumer interface. These code snippets act as mediators that bridge the gap between the static content and interactive requirements, enabling enhanced engagement without modifying the original content files.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If traditional digital asset management platforms are used for licensing, then content distribution is simplified, but effective tracking of intellectual property rights and timely royalty payments cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroyalty payment timelinessVSAvoidtracking mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through code snippets that automatically detect and report usage events, license violations, and consumption data. This real-time feedback enables the system to track intellectual property rights enforcement and trigger timely royalty payments based on actual content usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional manual tracking and accounting mechanisms with automated digital systems. The code snippets embed tracking capabilities directly into the content delivery mechanism, substituting complex manual tracking processes with automated digital monitoring and calculation systems for royalty distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If digital content is made interactive and dynamic, then consumer engagement is enhanced, but the complexity of the licensing system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent interactivityVSAvoidlicensing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the licensing system into modular components: the original digital content files remain separate from the interactive code snippets. This segmentation allows the content and the interactivity layer to be developed, licensed, and managed independently, reducing overall system complexity while enabling enhanced engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating and pre-testing code snippets before they are deployed to consumers. The platform automatically creates, validates, and optimizes the interactive code in advance, reducing the complexity of deployment and maintenance while ensuring consistent interactive performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Adaptability or versatility

If code snippets are generated for each digital asset, then interactive functionality is enabled, but the quantity of code and data to manage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecode snippet functionalityVSAvoidcode volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates universal code snippet templates that can be applied across multiple digital asset types. These multi-functional snippets handle various operations (display, interaction, commerce, tracking) through a standardized structure, reducing the total code volume needed compared to creating unique code for each asset.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system manages code volume by dynamically adjusting parameters within the code snippets based on the specific digital asset properties and usage context. The code adapts its behavior and scope according to the licensed content characteristics, enabling functionality without proportionally increasing code quantity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A method and system for generating code snippets to license content are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes acquiring a digital asset in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) interface. The method further includes generating metadata and an access uniform resource locator (URL) for the digital asset. The method additionally includes generating a primary JavaScript object notation (JSON) file to create one or more code snippets in different formats for the digital asset. The method further includes activating an abstraction process to automatically generate a truncated embeddable code snippet after detection of a licensing of the digital asset.
