Solution Overview

Problem

Current fantasy gaming platforms lack the ability to integrate non-fungible tokens (NFTs) representing real-world sporting players, allowing users to trade, craft, and play with these tokens, which limits user experience and engagement.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented system and method that utilizes a blockchain network to mint, trade, and craft NFTs of real-world sporting players, allowing users to create personalized fantasy teams and play games over a computer network, featuring a minting module, bundle generator, trading, and crafting modules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional fantasy gaming platforms use simple digital cards with limited attributes, then the system complexity is low and ease of operation is high, but user engagement and experience are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical fantasy card systems with blockchain-based NFT technology. Instead of simple digital cards stored in databases, the system uses cryptographic tokens on the blockchain that automatically enforce ownership, trading, and crafting rules through smart contracts, substituting complex manual verification mechanisms with automated cryptographic protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The NFT-based fantasy cards serve multiple functions simultaneously: they represent player ownership, enable peer-to-peer trading, allow crafting of new cards through combining, and provide verified provenance tracking. This multi-functionality is embedded in the single NFT object, reducing the need for separate systems for each function.

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

2Ease of operation

If fantasy platforms allow users to trade tokens, then user autonomy and engagement increase, but system security and control become more challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser autonomyVSAvoidsystem security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables users to autonomously trade and craft fantasy cards without requiring platform intervention. Smart contracts automatically execute trading transactions and crafting operations when conditions are met, allowing users to self-manage their assets while the blockchain network provides automatic verification and settlement, eliminating the need for centralized trust.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system implements NFT minting, trading, and crafting modules, then functionality and user experience are enhanced, but development and maintenance complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem functionalityVSAvoiddevelopment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the fantasy platform functionality into separate modular components: an NFT minting module for creating cards, a trading module for peer-to-peer exchanges, and a crafting module for combining cards. Each module operates as an independent smart contract or service, allowing separate development, testing, and deployment, which reduces overall system complexity despite the enhanced functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
