Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems do not effectively allow users to take ownership and monetize their digital content in a metaverse environment, particularly through non-fungible tokens, due to high gas fees and lack of seamless integration with existing social media platforms.

Innovation Solution

A metaverse server hosts digital content with non-fungible tokens, allowing users to mint tokens gaslessly and integrate interactions with blockchain, enabling users to monetize their content through a 'use-to-earn' model and facilitate seamless interaction between Web2 and Web3 environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If users mint non-fungible tokens on existing blockchain platforms, then they can protect and monetize their digital content, but they incur high gas fees that prevent seamless integration with social media platforms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of token mintingVSAvoidgas fees
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a metaverse server as an intermediary layer between content creators and the blockchain network. This server handles token minting operations and interacts with the blockchain on behalf of users, eliminating the need for users to directly pay gas fees for minting operations. The metaverse server acts as a mediator that absorbs the transaction costs while providing free minting services to users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the economic parameters of token minting by implementing a subscription-based model where users pay a monthly fee for access to the metaverse platform. This transforms the cost structure from per-transaction gas fees to a fixed subscription cost, making token minting effectively free for users while ensuring the platform's operational sustainability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If users transfer ownership of digital content through non-fungible tokens, then they can monetize their content, but existing systems lack seamless integration with Web2 social media platforms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform integrationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The metaverse server is designed to perform multiple functions: it hosts Web2 social media platforms, manages non-fungible token creation and transfer, tracks user interactions, and interfaces with the blockchain network. This multi-functional approach allows seamless integration of Web2 and Web3 environments without requiring separate systems for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments functionality into distinct modules: the metaverse server handles user-facing operations and content management, while the blockchain layer handles secure token storage and transfer. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If users interact with digital content in the metaverse environment, then engagement is enhanced, but tracking and monetizing these interactions requires complex indexing mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidinteraction indexing
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The metaverse server pre-establishes interaction tracking mechanisms and indexing structures before users engage with content. Interaction schemas are predefined, and data structures are prepared in advance, allowing the system to efficiently capture and monetize user interactions without requiring complex real-time processing during actual engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A system includes a metaverse server configured to host a metaverse environment configured to facilitate digital interactions. The metaverse server is configured to host, within the metaverse environment, digital content generated by a creator. The digital content includes image data, text data, audio data, and/or video data. The digital content includes a non-fungible token associated therewith. The metaverse server is further configured to monitor interactions within the metaverse environment with the digital content. The interactions include one or more of a like, share, or comment associated with the digital content. The metaverse server is further configured to, responsive to detecting an interaction with the digital content within the metaverse environment, index the interaction by associating the interaction with the digital content. Transfer of the digital content to another user includes the transfer of the indexed interaction.
