Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content transaction systems fail to provide fair compensation to content creators and contributors, and are vulnerable to unauthorized distribution due to hacking.

Innovation Solution

A content wallet and terminal device system that enables fair compensation for content creators by tracking contributions through a distributed ledger and encrypting content, while preventing unauthorized distribution by user authentication and network control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If mediators or providers take the initiative in transacting content and distributing profits, then content distribution efficiency is improved, but content creators do not receive fair compensation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent distribution efficiencyVSAvoidcreator contribution recognition
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a distributed ledger (blockchain) as an intermediary that transparently records content creation contributions and automatically distributes profits according to recorded contributions. This mediator ensures both efficient distribution and fair compensation by immutably tracking who created what and allocating revenue accordingly, resolving the contradiction between distribution efficiency and creator recognition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements automatic feedback loops where content transaction data is recorded on the distributed ledger, which then automatically triggers profit distribution based on pre-recorded contribution ratios. This feedback mechanism ensures creators receive fair compensation while maintaining efficient automated distribution processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If content is stored and transmitted through centralized platforms, then transaction convenience is improved, but vulnerability to hacking and unauthorized distribution increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction convenienceVSAvoidcontent security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized content storage system into distributed nodes across a blockchain network. Each node holds a copy of the ledger, eliminating single points of failure. This segmentation maintains transaction convenience through the network while dramatically improving security and resistance to hacking, as unauthorized distribution would require compromising multiple distributed nodes simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates multiple identical copies of the content ledger across distributed nodes rather than storing content in a single centralized location. This copying strategy ensures that even if some nodes are compromised, the overall system remains secure and operational, maintaining both convenience and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of manufacture

If commercial advertisements are included in content or service providers collect flat fees, then profit collection is simplified, but talented creators do not receive adequate compensation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprofit collection simplicityVSAvoidindividual contribution value
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The distributed ledger system automatically tracks individual content contributions and their specific values, then feeds this information back into the profit distribution mechanism. Instead of flat fees or generic advertising revenue, the system automatically distributes profits based on recorded contribution data, maintaining simplicity while ensuring fair compensation for talented creators.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of profit distribution from fixed flat fees or undifferentiated advertising revenue to dynamic distribution based on recorded contribution parameters. This allows the system to maintain automated collection simplicity while accurately reflecting individual creator value through variable distribution parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A content wallet includes a network module configured to communicate with a terminal device; and a toggle switch configured to control a connection between an external memory inserted into an accommodation groove and the network module, in which content stored in the external memory is transmitted to the terminal device through the network module, when the external memory and the network module are connected according to a manipulation of a user for the toggle switch.
