Solution Overview

Problem

The value of matching rights related to celebrities or influential individuals can rapidly decline due to factors such as popularity changes, health issues, or contract terminations, leading to a loss in their commodified value.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for matching right succession, where a matching service server collects successor information, transmits voting information to interested parties, and determines a successor based on weighted voting results to ensure continuity and stability of the matching right, allowing a suitable successor to take over the rights and maintain their value.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If matching rights are tied to a specific person, then the rights have initial value and utility, but the value rapidly declines when the person's popularity or activity status changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevalue stability of matching rightVSAvoidduration of matching right validity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting successor information in advance and establishing a pool of potential successors before the original person's value declines. This allows the matching right to be transferred smoothly when needed, preventing value loss rather than reacting after the decline occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The matching service providing server acts as an intermediary that manages the transition of matching rights from the original person to a successor. It collects successor information, manages the list of potential successors, and facilitates the transfer process, thereby maintaining value stability during the transition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If matching rights are transferred to a successor, then value continuity is maintained, but the system complexity increases due to succession management processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevalue continuity of matching rightVSAvoidcomplexity of succession management system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by allowing the original person to designate their own successor through the matching service providing server. The successor information is collected and managed automatically by the system without requiring complex external intervention, simplifying the succession process while maintaining value continuity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the matching service providing server notifies relevant parties about the succession status and manages the transition process. This automated feedback loop reduces manual management complexity while ensuring value continuity through proper succession execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present invention provides a matching service provision server for supporting matching rights succession. The matching service provision server includes a communication interface forming a communication channel, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to, for at least one specific person for whom a matching right has been established, collect information of at least one successor to succeed the matching right from successor terminals communicating based on the communication interface, transmit voting information to determine whether to succeed the at least one successor to the at least one specific person to at least one interested party terminal holding at least a portion of the matching right, and determine a match of the at least one successor to the at least one specific person based on a voting result of the at least one interested party terminal.
