On-Demand NFT Generation System for Stockless Provision
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for selling non-fungible tokens (NFTs) face complexity in stock management due to the need to hold large quantities of NFTs in advance, leading to potential stockouts and increased operational burdens, especially when providing multiple types of NFTs.
Innovation Solution
A non-fungible token generation system that receives identification information from user requests, generates the appropriate type of NFT on demand using a database of material data, and transmits the generated token, allowing for the creation of multiple types of NFTs without the need for pre-existing stock, utilizing a smart contract on a blockchain for transaction and ownership recording.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a system holds a large number of NFTs as stocks in advance to avoid stockouts, then the reliability of NFT provision is improved, but the device complexity and operational burden increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-generating metadata and configuration data for NFTs without actually creating the full NFT objects. The system prepares all necessary information (images, attributes, metadata) in advance and stores it in a database, so that when a purchase request occurs, the NFT can be instantly generated and transferred without stockout risk, while avoiding the complexity of managing large numbers of actual NFT stocks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by creating NFTs on-demand based on pre-prepared metadata templates. Instead of storing multiple copies of actual NFTs as stock, the system stores lightweight metadata copies that can be rapidly instantiated into full NFT objects when needed, significantly reducing storage and management complexity while maintaining the ability to fulfill any purchase request.
2Device complexity
If a system generates a necessary NFT after the need arises, then the device complexity is reduced, but the productivity and response time deteriorate due to generation time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary preparation of all NFT generation materials (images, metadata, attributes, configuration data) before actual purchase requests occur. This pre-computation and pre-organization of data enables instant NFT generation when a purchase is made, eliminating the time-consuming generation process while keeping the system simple without pre-existing NFT stocks.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a system prepares a large number of NFTs for each NFT type to provide multiple types, then the adaptability of NFT provision is improved, but the device complexity and operational burden increase extremely
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments NFT creation into two independent parts: (1) pre-generated metadata and configuration data stored in a database, and (2) actual NFT object generation upon purchase. Each NFT type has its own metadata template, but none of the actual NFT objects need to be stored as stock. This segmentation allows the system to support multiple NFT types with simple metadata management while maintaining the ability to instantly generate any type when requested.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal NFT generation system that can handle multiple NFT types through a single on-demand generation process. The system uses a unified metadata structure and generation mechanism that adapts to different NFT types based on the input parameters, eliminating the need for separate stock management systems for each type while maintaining full versatility in NFT type provision.

AI summary
To make it easier to provide NFTs, it is desired to avoid complexity of having to store NFTs as stocks. A non-fungible token generation system of this disclosure is configured to execute: receiving a non-fungible token request having identification information; identifying a type of a target non-fungible token to be generated, based on the identification information possessed by the non-fungible token request; generating the target non-fungible token of the identified type; and transmitting the generated target non-fungible token. The system can generate a plurality of types of target non-fungible tokens.
