Digital Asset Association System with Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
It is difficult to discern which digital assets belong together, leading to susceptibility to phishing and other attacks, and creating a seamless user experience across different digital asset types is challenging.
Innovation Solution
An association system that includes a processing device and a database to manage associations between digital assets, where statements defining relationships between assets are verified for reliability and stored, allowing for the recommendation of related digital assets to users and granting permissions based on these associations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If digital assets are associated without verification, then the quantity of associated assets increases, but the reliability of associations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification mechanism where association statements are validated through cryptographic proof and owner verification before being added to the association database. This mediator layer ensures that only reliable associations are stored, resolving the contradiction between increasing association quantity and maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary verification of association statements before storing them in the database. By verifying ownership and authenticity in advance through cryptographic methods, the system ensures that only validated associations are recorded, preventing unreliable data from contaminating the database while allowing comprehensive association tracking.
2Reliability
If manual verification of digital asset associations is performed, then the reliability of associations improves, but the time required for verification increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual verification processes with automated cryptographic verification. Instead of human operators manually checking associations, the system uses cryptographic proofs and automated validation algorithms to verify ownership and association validity, dramatically reducing verification time while maintaining or improving reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The verification system operates autonomously by automatically validating association statements through cryptographic methods. The system self-verifies ownership and association validity without requiring manual intervention, eliminating time-consuming human review processes while ensuring reliable verification through mathematical proof.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a comprehensive association database is maintained, then the ability to recommend related assets improves, but the complexity of managing the database increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the verification and validation logic from the database management system itself, placing it in a separate verification layer. This separation allows the association database to store comprehensive data for improved recommendations while the external verification mechanism handles the complexity of validation, reducing the burden on the database management system.

AI summary
An association system for associating digital assets may include a processing device, a first computer-readable storage medium portion in communication with the processing device that includes an association database of statements regarding a set of digital assets and associations between the digital assets in the set, and a second computer-readable storage medium portion in communication with the electronic device. The second computer-readable storage medium portion may include one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to receive electronic data including a statement defining an association between a delegating digital asset and a receiving digital asset, verify whether the statement is reliable, and, in response to verifying that the statement is reliable, add an entry to the association database, and store in the entry an indication that the delegating digital asset grants the receiving digital asset the one or more characteristics.
