Solution Overview

Problem

There is no mechanism for distributing profit gained from selling digital content in a metaverse space to both the owner and the creator who generated the digital content.

Innovation Solution

A control method that involves obtaining content information subjected to detail enhancement in a first platform, listing a non-fungible token (NFT) associated with this content on a second platform, and distributing profit to the creator based on tokens paid in the second platform, using a single control device to reduce communication fees and data processing/storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If a single control device is used to manage both platforms, then communication fees and data processing/storage are reduced, but the complexity of profit distribution mechanisms increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication feesVSAvoidprofit distribution mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the first platform (detail enhancement) and second platform (buying and selling) into a single control device, consolidating previously separate systems to reduce communication overhead and data redundancy while maintaining distinct functional modules for profit distribution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If profit distribution mechanisms are implemented for both owner and creator, then creator compensation is achieved, but the complexity of the trading system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprofit distribution capabilityVSAvoidtrading system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The profit distribution mechanism is segmented into distinct components: identification of creator information, calculation of profit shares, and separate distribution channels for owners and creators, allowing complex profit sharing without overwhelming system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The control device acts as an intermediary that automatically mediates profit distribution between the trading platform and content creators, handling the complex allocation logic centrally to simplify the overall trading system architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A control method is a control method for a control device, the control method including: obtaining first content information subjected to detail enhancement in a virtual space, the first content information being generated in a first platform that is for performing the detail enhancement on content; listing a first NFT associated with the first content information on a second platform that is for buying and selling the first NFT; and distributing, to a creator who generated the first content information in the first platform, a profit based on a token paid in the second platform.
