Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems for fractional ownership of assets are cost-prohibitive due to significant legal and regulatory requirements associated with centralized management.

Innovation Solution

A decentralized system using a distributed ledger and smart contracts to generate, transfer, and redeem fractionalized interests in digital assets, allowing for cost-effective management and trading of fungible tokens.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If centralized management is used for fractional ownership of assets, then legal and regulatory compliance is achieved, but compliance and personnel costs become prohibitively expensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelegal and regulatory complianceVSAvoidcompliance and personnel costs
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service through smart contracts that automatically execute compliance checks, record transactions, and manage fractional ownership without human intervention. The distributed ledger autonomously maintains compliance records and executes transfer rules, eliminating the need for expensive personnel while ensuring regulatory requirements are met.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of centralized human management with an automated digital system based on smart contracts and distributed ledgers. The smart contracts encode compliance rules and automatically enforce them, substituting manual legal and administrative processes with algorithmic execution that reduces costs while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If centralized management is used for fractional ownership, then regulatory compliance is ensured, but the system becomes cost-prohibitive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregulatory complianceVSAvoidcost-effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs compliance monitoring and reporting automatically through smart contracts that self-execute when conditions are met. This eliminates the need for expensive compliance personnel while ensuring continuous regulatory adherence, dramatically improving cost-effectiveness without sacrificing compliance reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the operational parameters from manual, human-centric processes to automated, algorithm-driven processes. By encoding compliance rules into smart contract parameters and executing them automatically, the system reduces operational costs while maintaining compliance standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If fractional ownership is implemented through traditional models, then asset ownership is divided, but market liquidity is limited due to high transaction costs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefractional ownership capabilityVSAvoidmarket liquidity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical trading systems with a digital platform based on smart contracts and distributed ledgers. This enables automated matching of buyers and sellers, instant settlement, and reduced transaction fees, thereby enhancing market liquidity while maintaining fractional ownership capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal platform that handles multiple functions including fractional ownership management, automated compliance checking, liquidity provision, and secondary market trading. This multi-functional approach increases adaptability and enhances liquidity by consolidating services into a single efficient system.

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