Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for acquiring non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are inefficient, as owners must manually search and compare acquisition requests across multiple platforms, lacking awareness of incoming bids and requiring constant monitoring.

Innovation Solution

A bid acceptance system that receives and aggregates identifiers for blockchain operation requests (bids) for transferring NFTs from one blockchain address to another, providing visual indications to the NFT owner and facilitating approval of bids through an on-chain program.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the owner manually monitors multiple platforms to find and compare acquisition requests, then the owner can identify potential bids, but the owner must spend significant time and effort constantly checking various platforms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveawareness of incoming bidsVSAvoidtime spent monitoring platforms
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system (the bid monitoring and comparison system) that acts as a mediator between multiple NFT marketplaces and the owner. This intermediary automatically collects, aggregates, and presents bid information from various platforms, eliminating the need for the owner to manually monitor each platform while ensuring complete awareness of all incoming bids.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically performing the monitoring and comparison tasks that would otherwise require the owner's continuous manual intervention. The automated system serves itself by fetching data from platforms, processing bid information, and presenting comparisons without requiring the owner's time or effort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If the owner manually compares acquisition requests from various platforms, then the owner can evaluate bids, but the process becomes complex and difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of comparing bidsVSAvoidcomplexity of bid comparison process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple separate bid evaluations from different platforms into a single unified comparison interface. By consolidating bid data from various marketplaces into one centralized view with standardized formatting, the system simplifies the comparison process while maintaining the ability to evaluate all bids comprehensively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Loss of information

If the system aggregates bid information from multiple platforms, then the owner receives comprehensive bid data, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of bid informationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The intermediary system handles the complexity of interfacing with multiple platforms through standardized data collection and normalization processes. By acting as a buffer between diverse platform APIs and the owner's interface, the system maintains complete bid information while shielding the owner from underlying system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Methods and systems are described herein for performing cryptographic operations. In particular, the system receives identifiers for blockchain operation requests (e.g., bids) for transferring control of a non-fungible token (NFT) from a first blockchain address to a second blockchain address in exchange for payment (e.g., fungible tokens). The system provides visual indications of the blockchain operation requests to a first user device associated with a first cryptography-based storage application (e.g., an address associated with a cryptographic wallet of a user). The system may receive, from the first user device, a command to approve one of the blockchain operation requests and may determine an on-chain program (e.g., smart contract) for transferring the NFT. The system may submit, to the on-chain program, a request to transfer the NFT to the second blockchain address associated with the approved first blockchain operation request.
