Digital Token Exchange for Mixed Reality Object Manipulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack a standardized method to assign unique identifiers to objects in mixed reality environments, enabling their alteration, transfer, swapping, exchange, trading, and association with locations, leading to a lack of common platforms for manipulating these objects across users and environments.
Innovation Solution
A token exchange system that utilizes unique digital tokens linked to virtual or physical objects, allowing for their identification, transformation, duplication, and exchange between users, with features like token duplication, transformation functions, and location-based interactions within mixed reality environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a standardized token system is implemented to enable object identification and exchange across users and environments, then interoperability and ease of operation are improved, but system complexity increases due to the need for common platforms and transformation functions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a token as an intermediary element that standardizes object representation and exchange. The token system acts as a mediator between different users, applications, and environments, enabling interoperability through a common protocol while abstracting the underlying complexity of object management, transformation functions, and state tracking.
2Adaptability or versatility
If transformation functions are added to enable object alteration and duplication, then object manipulation capability is improved, but reliability concerns arise regarding token security and state consistency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms through event triggers that monitor and respond to token transformations. When transformation functions alter token state or create duplications, the system generates events that can be detected and validated, providing feedback loops that maintain state consistency and enhance security through observable state changes.
3Productivity
If location-based interactions are implemented for tokens, then user engagement is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase for tracking token positions and user locations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the token system into a spatial dimension by associating tokens with geographic locations and enabling location-based interactions. This adds a geographic dimension to token management, allowing users to discover, exchange, and interact with tokens based on their physical location, thereby enhancing user engagement through real-world context.

AI summary
A system includes hardware processors and a token exchange module configured to create a uniquely identified first digital token including an owner ID field identifying the current possessor of the digital token, associate the first digital token with digital content presented to the first user in a mixed reality environment, present the digital within the MR environment, make the first digital token available for acquisition, receive a request to acquire the first digital token, assign possession of the first digital token, via the owner ID field, to the first unique user ID of the first user based on the request to acquire the first digital token, receive a request to transfer the first digital token from the first user to the second user, the second user having a second unique user ID, and changing the owner ID field to the second unique user ID based on the request to transfer.
