Solution Overview

Problem

Existing social media platforms lack the capability to verify and validate user activities, making it difficult to confirm the authenticity of shared experiences and events.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of an activity verification system that utilizes cryptographic tokens, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), to generate and verify user activity data, ensuring that shared activities are authentic and can be validated by others.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users share activity data on social media platforms, then users can share their experiences and stay connected, but the authenticity and verification of the shared activities cannot be ensured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveactivity sharing capabilityVSAvoidactivity authenticity verification
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces blockchain technology and cryptographic tokens as intermediaries between users and social media platforms. These tokens serve as verifiable proof of activities, allowing users to share experiences while maintaining authenticity. The blockchain acts as a trusted mediator that independently verifies and records activities, resolving the contradiction between sharing capability and verification reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary verification and validation of activities before they are shared on social media. Cryptographic tokens are generated and stored on blockchain in advance, containing verified activity data. When users share activities, the authenticity is already established through preliminary blockchain verification, eliminating the need for real-time verification and ensuring reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If cryptographic tokens are used to verify user activities, then activity authenticity can be ensured, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveactivity verification accuracyVSAvoidverification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the complex verification logic into a separate blockchain infrastructure, independent of the social media platform. The core verification functionality is taken out and implemented through cryptographic tokens and smart contracts on the blockchain. This allows the social media platform to maintain simplicity while relying on the blockchain for robust verification, resolving the contradiction between verification accuracy and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses cryptographic tokens as digital copies or representations of verified activities. Instead of implementing complex verification mechanisms directly in the social media platform, the patent creates simplified token copies that encapsulate verified activity data. These tokens can be easily transmitted and verified without requiring the full complexity of the original verification system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If existing social media platforms are used for sharing activities, then ease of operation is maintained, but the capability to validate and verify activities is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform usabilityVSAvoidactivity validation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes blockchain technology and cryptographic tokens universal across different social media platforms. The same token verification mechanism can be applied to any platform, allowing users to share and verify activities consistently regardless of which platform they use. This multi-functionality approach enables existing platforms to gain verification capabilities without requiring platform-specific implementations, maintaining ease of operation while adding validation capability.

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

AI summary

Methods and systems are described herein for novel uses and/or improvements to sharing cryptographic tokens based on user's real-world actions through social media so those real-world actions may be confirmed as authentic (e.g., verified and/or validated). More specifically, methods and systems disclosed herein enable sharing validated user activity by generating and using cryptographic tokens. The system may ensure that the cryptographic tokens verify the user's activity. The system may extract token data of a cryptographic token to post to a social media platform for activity verification. Thus, by using cryptographic tokens of the user's activity data, the system is able to verify the user's activity.
