Digital Resource Tokens for Decentralized Access Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for managing resources for multiple users are inefficient and require centralized authorization, lacking flexibility in resource allocation and sharing between users.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for managing resources that allows users to allocate and share storage space or data access by generating a digital object with resource and time period details, which is encrypted and transmitted to the recipient, enabling decentralized and secure resource passing without a central switching center.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a central server manages resources for multiple users with centralized authorization, then resource allocation control is improved, but system complexity and transaction overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the centralized authorization system into distributed digital objects that can be independently created, transferred, and managed by users. Each digital object contains authorization information for specific resources, allowing resource management to be divided into independent units rather than requiring centralized control for every transaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces digital objects as intermediaries between users and resources. These digital objects carry authorization information and enable resource access without requiring direct centralized authorization for each transaction. The digital objects act as self-contained mediators that encode resource access rights and can be transferred between users.
2Reliability
If centralized authorization is used for resource access, then resource security is improved, but transaction speed and efficiency decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by embedding authorization information in digital objects before resource access transactions occur. Users receive digital objects that pre-encode their resource access rights, eliminating the need for real-time centralized authorization checks during resource transactions. The authorization is prepared in advance and attached to the digital object.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables self-service by allowing users to autonomously transfer digital objects containing authorization information without requiring centralized authorization for each transfer. Users can independently manage and transfer their digital objects, and the system automatically validates resource access based on the embedded authorization data in the digital objects.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users can freely share resources, then resource flexibility and usability are improved, but resource security and control deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by encoding specific authorization information within each digital object, allowing different levels and types of resource access rights in different digital objects. Each digital object can contain customized authorization data for specific resources, users, and time periods, enabling fine-grained control while maintaining overall system flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by allowing authorization parameters (such as resource identifiers, user identifiers, time periods, and access rights) to be dynamically embedded in digital objects. These parameters can be modified when digital objects are created or transferred, enabling flexible resource sharing while maintaining security through structured parameter validation.

AI summary
A method which performs, inter alia, the following: performing a login process at a web page for a first user, wherein the first user is assigned an identifier; performing a digital object generation process based on data entered by the first user at the web page, wherein the data includes an indication of an amount of a resource and a time period, and wherein the digital object includes the identifier and the indication of the amount of the resource and the time period.
