Contextual Control Layer for Blockchain Digital Assets in Augmented Reality
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality systems struggle to provide dynamic and interactive experiences, as content represented by nonfungible tokens (NFTs) on blockchain platforms is often static and untethered to physical context, due to latency issues and limitations in dynamic mutation.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of contextual controls within the Jadu computing environment, which adds a layer of data structure and code that takes inputs from the physical world to alter the visual and audio attributes of digital assets in augmented reality, based on geolocation, time, weather, and other real-world parameters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If digital assets are represented by NFTs on blockchain platforms, then ownership and authenticity are secured, but the assets become static and untethered to physical context due to latency issues and limitations in dynamic mutation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the digital asset system into two parts: the NFT on the blockchain (maintaining ownership and authenticity) and the contextual control layer (enabling dynamic adaptation). The contextual control script acts as an intermediary that reads physical context data and modifies asset presentation without changing the underlying NFT, thus resolving the contradiction between immutability and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a contextual control script as an intermediary between the static NFT and the dynamic physical environment. This script layer processes contextual information (location, time, weather) and dynamically adjusts asset attributes, allowing the asset to adapt to physical context while the NFT itself remains immutable on the blockchain.
2Adaptability or versatility
If contextual controls are implemented to enable dynamic mutation of digital assets based on physical context, then adaptability and interactivity are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The contextual control script serves multiple functions: it reads contextual data from the environment, processes this data according to predefined logic, and dynamically adjusts asset attributes. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate systems for each task, thereby managing complexity while achieving high adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by allowing the asset presentation to change in real-time based on physical context. The contextual control script continuously monitors environmental parameters and dynamically adjusts asset properties, enabling the system to adapt to changing conditions without requiring complex reconfiguration.
3Reliability
If digital assets are kept static on blockchain platforms, then system reliability and security are maintained, but the user experience lacks immersion and interactivity
Solution Approach 1:
The contextual control script acts as an intermediary that preserves the stability of the blockchain-based NFT system while enhancing user immersion. It dynamically adjusts asset presentation based on physical context without compromising the underlying security and reliability of the blockchain infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-programming the contextual control script with the logic and rules for dynamic mutation. This allows the system to automatically respond to physical context changes in real-time, creating an immersive experience without requiring complex real-time decision-making or compromising system stability.

AI summary
Provided is a process including: identifying, with a computing system, a blockchain-based token mapped to an asset configured to be presented in an augmented reality application; obtaining, with the computing system, contextual information indicative of a physical context of a physical geolocation of a display upon which the augmented reality application is to present the asset; causing, with the computing system, visual attributes or audio attributes of the asset to be determined based on the contextual information; and causing, with the computing system, the asset to be presented with the display according to the visual attributes or the audio attributes.
