Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The entertainment industry faces challenges in securing and efficiently reusing digital representations of celebrities across multiple platforms due to the bespoke nature of digital content creation, which is complex and lacks a standardized, secure, and efficient method for accessing and utilizing digital assets.
Innovation Solution
A digital human vault system that securely stores and manages digital representations of individuals, allowing authorized access and manipulation for various performance platforms, utilizing a centralized or cloud-based database with encryption and Verifiable Credentials for authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If digital representations are created as bespoke creations for specific productions, then the quality and customization of digital content is improved, but the complexity of creation and access management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments digital representations into distinct components (digital DNA, likeness data, motion capture data, vocal data, logical components) that can be independently stored, managed, and accessed. This segmentation allows customized assembly for different productions while simplifying access management through modular control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal digital human vault system that can serve multiple productions and platforms simultaneously. The standardized structure of digital representations allows the same asset to be reused across different contexts, reducing creation complexity while maintaining adaptability.
2Productivity
If digital representations are reused across multiple platforms, then productivity and efficiency are improved, but security and access control challenges increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a new dimensional layer of security through Verifiable Credentials and blockchain technology. This adds a cryptographic verification dimension to access control, enabling secure multi-platform reuse without compromising security through traditional hierarchical access methods.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary authentication layer (digital vault with Verifiable Credentials) between the digital content and accessing platforms. This intermediary manages security and access control centrally, enabling productive reuse across platforms while maintaining reliable security controls.
3Reliability
If encrypted storage and authentication processes are implemented, then security is improved, but the time and complexity of access procedures increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-establishing Verifiable Credentials and authentication permissions before access is needed. Digital representations are pre-registered in the vault with defined access policies, allowing rapid authentication without time-consuming security procedures during actual access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses cryptographic copying through Verifiable Credentials that can be verified without revealing the original secret keys. Multiple platforms can hold verified copies of authentication credentials, enabling fast access while maintaining security through cryptographic proof rather than repeated key exchange.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides, among other things, a system for securely storing a digital representation of a subject. The system may include a processor to receive digital content associated with a subject, where the digital content includes a digital DNA component uniquely describing the subject and being associated with an image or likeness of the subject. The processor may further secure the digital content in an encrypted data storage location, receive at least one request for access to the digital content associated with the subject, execute an authentication process to determine that a user associated with the at least one request corresponds to a user with access privileges for the digital content, and following execution of the authentication process, provide the user with access to some or all of the digital content associated with the subject.
