Solution Overview

Problem

Existing NFT management systems face challenges in authenticating and valuing unique digital assets, managing storage uncertainties, and ensuring secure transactions due to the decentralized nature of blockchain technology, which complicates the linkage between NFT records and associated content.

Innovation Solution

A non-fungible token management system that utilizes a blockchain infrastructure for NFT minting, authentication, and storage, employing machine learning for uniqueness assessment, provides insurance policies, and uses a unique authentication stamp to verify ownership and content integrity, while offering secure off-chain storage solutions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If NFT records are stored on decentralized blockchain, then security and authenticity are improved, but linkage to associated content becomes complex and storage management becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveauthenticityVSAvoidlinkage complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments NFT management into two parts: immutable authentication data stored on blockchain and mutable associated content stored off-chain. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining authenticity through blockchain while simplifying content management externally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary management system that bridges blockchain records and off-chain content storage. This intermediary handles the complexity of linkage, allowing straightforward access to associated content while maintaining the integrity of blockchain-based authentication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If machine learning is used for uniqueness assessment, then valuation accuracy is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniqueness assessment accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary uniqueness assessments during NFT minting and registration, storing assessment results for future reference. This preliminary action reduces processing time for subsequent transactions while maintaining accurate valuation through pre-computed uniqueness metrics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements incremental uniqueness assessment that updates evaluations based on new information without reprocessing entire datasets. This partial action approach maintains high accuracy while significantly reducing computational overhead for routine transactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If insurance policies are provided for NFTs, then transaction confidence is improved, but system complexity and operational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction confidenceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal insurance framework that handles multiple NFT types and risk scenarios through standardized policies. This multi-functional approach increases transaction confidence while avoiding the complexity of custom insurance solutions for each NFT category.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements automated insurance policy generation and management using smart contracts that self-execute based on predefined conditions. This self-service mechanism provides comprehensive insurance coverage while minimizing operational overhead through automation rather than manual processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present application generally relates to a non-fungible token management system that manages transactions involving non-fungible tokens. In an embodiment, the non-fungible token management system may generate insurance policies for non-fungible tokens. The insurance policy can be based on storage risks of non-fungible token associated content. For example, the associated content may include digital data stored outside of a distributed ledger.
