Solution Overview

Problem

The value of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is currently determined subjectively and speculatively, lacking an objective and dynamic assessment method.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that determine the value of NFTs based on digital content creator clout value, popularity value, and exclusivity value, using a digital collectible assessor to analyze metadata and social media data, and apply scoring weights to aggregate and normalize these values for a dynamic valuation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If subjective and speculative methods are used to determine NFT value, then the valuation process is simple and quick, but the measurement precision and reliability of the valuation is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevaluation accuracyVSAvoidvaluation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The valuation system segments the assessment into distinct components: creator clout value, digital content popularity value, and digital content exclusivity value. Each component is evaluated separately using specific criteria and weighted scoring, then aggregated to produce the final valuation. This segmentation enables precise measurement of multiple factors without creating an overly complex monolithic system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters used for valuation from subjective speculation to objective measurable metrics. It establishes specific parameters such as follower counts, engagement rates, content views, and uniqueness indicators that can be objectively measured and weighted to produce reliable valuations that reflect actual market dynamics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If objective and dynamic assessment methods are implemented, then the valuation reliability and precision improve, but the device complexity and difficulty of detection and measurement increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevaluation reliabilityVSAvoidmeasurement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a digital collectible assessor as an intermediary system that automatically gathers, processes, and evaluates data from multiple sources. This intermediary component simplifies the measurement process by providing standardized data collection mechanisms and automated analysis, reducing the direct complexity of measuring creator influence and content popularity while maintaining high reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the valuation results can be used to adjust future assessments. The dynamic nature of the valuation allows it to respond to changing conditions in real-time based on updated data about creator performance, content engagement, and market trends, improving reliability through continuous adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If multiple factors such as creator clout, popularity, and exclusivity are considered, then the valuation accuracy improves, but the processing time and productivity decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevaluation accuracyVSAvoidvaluation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing the weighting factors and assessment criteria for each valuation component. The digital collectible assessor is pre-configured with the appropriate metrics and weights, allowing for rapid automated evaluation without requiring complex real-time calculations or manual analysis for each new NFT.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses copying by automatically retrieving and processing existing data about creators and content from various sources. Instead of conducting original complex measurements, the system copies and analyzes readily available data points such as social media metrics and content statistics, significantly improving valuation speed while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

The technology described herein determines a clout value for a creator of a digital collectible, determines a popularity value of the digital collectible, and aggregates the clout value and the popularity value into an aggregated value for the digital collectible, normalizes the aggregated value and assigns the normalized aggregated value as an assessed value for the digital collectible. The digital collectible may then be converted into a non-fungible token (NFT) having the assessed value.
