Digital Asset Attribute Transfer via Sensor-Linked Physical Object
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively implement and transfer physical and behavioral attributes associated with digital assets across multiple physical objects, limiting the dynamic representation and ownership of digital assets linked to physical interactions.
Innovation Solution
A system that utilizes sensors in physical objects to determine user interactions, couples with a private portable device for access to a digital wallet on a decentralized ledger, allowing the attributes to be packaged and transferred between objects, enabling dynamic attribute adjustment and ownership changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If digital assets are linked to a single physical object, then ownership is clearly defined, but the ability to transfer attributes between objects is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the digital asset attributes from the physical object itself, storing them as separate digital assets on a decentralized ledger. This allows the attributes to be independently transferred between objects without moving the entire object-attribute bundle, thereby improving transferability while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
A hardware coupler acts as an intermediary device that temporarily connects the private portable device to the physical object. This mediator enables secure access to the digital wallet and facilitates attribute transfers without requiring permanent integration between components, thus enabling versatility while keeping the system architecture simple and modular.
2Adaptability or versatility
If sensors continuously track user interactions, then attribute updates become dynamic and personalized, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous monitoring, the system uses sensors to detect user interactions at periodic intervals or triggered by specific events. This approach allows dynamic attribute updates based on actual usage patterns while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous tracking, as sensors remain in low-power states between detection events.
3Reliability
If digital assets are stored on a decentralized ledger, then ownership immutability is ensured, but access speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by caching frequently accessed digital asset information locally in the physical object or hardware coupler before it is needed. This allows rapid local access for common operations while maintaining the ability to query the decentralized ledger for verification or updates, thus achieving both fast access speeds and reliable immutable ownership recording.

AI summary
Systems and methods to implement physical and/or behavioral attributes that define a personality entity associated with a digital asset via a physical object are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: determine physical and/or behavioral attributes associated with digital assets held by a digital wallet; receive output signals from sensors; determine, based on the output signals, interaction information; determine, based on the decentralized ledger and the address, changes in ownership of the digital assets; determine and effectuate adjustments to the physical and/or behavioral attributes based on the interaction information and the changes in ownership; transmit the adjustments to the physical object such that the physical object exemplifies the adjustments; receive an indication that the private portable device decoupled from the hardware coupler; and initiate, responsive to the indication, a wrap smart contract that is configured to link ownership rights to the digital assets in the digital wallet into a packaged digital asset.
