Solution Overview

Problem

Existing NFT platforms primarily view NFTs as financial investments, lacking features that allow users to creatively curate, display, and utilize NFTs in a personalized and social manner, and do not facilitate the creation of collection-specific NFTs using blockchain technology.

Innovation Solution

An NFT collection platform that enables users to collect, arrange, and display NFTs, allowing the creation of personalized collection NFTs through a blockchain-based distributed network, supporting social interaction and transactions, agnostic to specific wallets and marketplaces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If NFTs are treated as financial investments, then investment value is improved, but creative curation and social interaction capabilities are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinvestment valueVSAvoidcreative curation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The NFT platform implements multi-functionality by enabling NFTs to serve both as financial investments and as creative artifacts for curation and display. Users can mint NFTs representing collections of other NFTs, creating a universal system where NFTs can be traded for value while also being arranged in personalized displays and shared socially, thus resolving the contradiction between investment focus and creative versatility

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

2Reliability

If NFTs are viewed as financial assets, then transaction value is improved, but social interaction and personalized display features are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction valueVSAvoidsocial interaction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments NFT functionality into distinct operational modes: financial transactions, creative curation, social display, and collection minting. This segmentation allows the platform to maintain robust transaction value while simultaneously enabling social interaction and personalized display features through separate but interconnected modules, thus resolving the contradiction between financial reliability and social ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Quantity of substance

If existing NFT platforms are used, then NFT collection is improved, but creation of collection-specific NFTs is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveNFT collection sizeVSAvoidcollection NFT creation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The platform enables preliminary action by allowing users to mint NFTs that represent collections of other NFTs before those collections are fully assembled or before the represented NFTs are even created. This preliminary minting capability, combined with the ability to arrange and display NFTs in personalized configurations, significantly enhances both collection size and creation capability, resolving the contradiction between quantity and ease of manufacture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A non-fungible token (NFT) platform operates by: receiving player data to be associated with a player token NFT corresponding to a player character in a multiplayer game; receiving player hierarchy data to be associated with the player token NFT, the player hierarchy data indicating a player hierarchy corresponding to a group of characters in the multiplayer game that includes the player character, the player hierarchy further indicating associations between the player character and other characters of the group of characters of the player hierarchy having differing levels compared to a level of the player character in the player hierarchy; facilitating creation of the player token NFT via a blockchain-based distributed computer network, based on the player data and the player hierarchy data; storing the player token NFT in a wallet associated with a user of a client device; and facilitating multiplayer game play of the multiplayer game based on the player token NFT.
