Solution Overview

Problem

Current online gaming platforms lack an efficient system for players to list and trade unique digital articles, such as in-game player-controllable characters, across multiple currencies, limiting the flexibility and convenience of transactions.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that enables players to list unique digital articles for sale in multiple currencies through user interfaces, allowing players to select and enter prices in both fiat and decentralized currencies, and facilitates the transfer of these articles based on selected settlement options, utilizing blockchain technology for secure and transparent transactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If players can only list unique digital articles in a single currency, then the system is simpler to manage, but transaction flexibility and player convenience are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurrency selection flexibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The listing interface is designed to handle multiple currencies (fiat and decentralized) within a single unified system. The interface can present both fiat currency fields and cryptocurrency wallet address fields simultaneously, allowing players to choose their preferred currency type without requiring separate listing systems for each currency type.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The pricing information is divided into distinct segments: fiat currency price fields and cryptocurrency price fields with wallet address inputs. This segmentation allows the system to manage different currency types independently while presenting them through a unified interface, reducing the complexity burden of multi-currency support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the system supports multiple currencies for listing, then player convenience improves, but the complexity of managing and processing transactions increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelisting convenienceVSAvoidtransaction processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects and processes the selected currency type based on player input. When a player enters a wallet address, the system automatically identifies this as a cryptocurrency transaction and adjusts the processing flow accordingly, without requiring manual intervention or complex routing logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The interface dynamically adapts its behavior based on the currency type selected by the player. The system can switch between fiat currency processing workflows and cryptocurrency processing workflows, adjusting the complexity of transaction handling according to the specific currency type involved in each listing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If unique digital articles are traded without blockchain technology, then transaction speed may be faster, but security and transparency of ownership transfer are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveownership securityVSAvoidtransaction processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary validation of wallet addresses and cryptocurrency transactions before finalizing the transfer. By checking wallet address formats and verifying transaction details in advance, the system prevents invalid transfers and reduces the need for corrective actions, thereby minimizing overall transaction time while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides real-time feedback during the blockchain transaction process, including transaction status updates, confirmation notifications, and ownership transfer verification. This feedback mechanism allows players to track their transactions and understand the processing time required, while the system can optimize subsequent transactions based on observed performance patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Systems and methods to provide user interfaces to players of an online gaming platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may manage player accounts associated with players, including a first player account that includes a first unique digital article associated with a first in-game player-controllable character configured to be used in an instance of a game; present a user interface that enables a first player to enter and/or select different prices in different currencies; and effectuate publication of a listing information for the first unique digital article. A second player may select from different settlement options. The first unique digital article may be transferred from the first player to the second player.
