Solution Overview

Problem

Existing solutions for managing and trading non-fungible tokens (NFTs) lack efficient categorization, valuation, and display mechanisms, making it difficult for users to track and utilize their NFT assets effectively.

Innovation Solution

The development of an NFT wallet application that includes an accumulator for NFTs, a categorizer for organizing NFTs based on their metadata, an appender for adding owner information, a valuator that uses anonymized data to determine NFT values, and a display interface for showcasing NFTs on a dedicated display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If NFTs are stored and managed in traditional wallet applications, then basic storage functionality is provided, but efficient categorization, valuation, and display mechanisms are lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveNFT management efficiencyVSAvoidwallet application structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wallet application is segmented into distinct functional modules: an accumulator module for storing NFTs, a categorizer module for organizing NFTs by metadata, a valuator module for determining NFT values using anonymized market data, and a display module for showcasing NFTs. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function efficiently while maintaining overall system organization and manageability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If NFTs are displayed without verification, then user access is convenient, but security and ownership verification are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveownership verificationVSAvoiduser access convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification of user ownership through smart contract validation before displaying any NFTs. The wallet application automatically verifies the user's ownership credentials and authorizations in advance, ensuring that only authenticated users can access and view their NFT collections. This preliminary action maintains security while keeping the user experience seamless.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The smart contract automatically performs ownership verification and authorization checks without requiring manual intervention from users. The system self-validates user credentials and NFT ownership through blockchain-based smart contracts, ensuring reliable verification while maintaining convenient access for authenticated users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If NFT values are determined using real-time market data, then valuation accuracy is improved, but user privacy and data security are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveNFT valuation accuracyVSAvoiduser data privacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The valuator module uses anonymized market data as an intermediary to determine NFT values. Instead of directly accessing or exposing users' personal information and transaction histories, the system processes aggregated and anonymized market data to calculate valuations. This intermediary approach maintains valuation accuracy by using real market information while protecting user privacy by removing personally identifiable information from the data set.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An apparatus, system and method for a NFT wallet application (app). The NFT wallet app includes: an accumulator of non-fungible tokens (NFT); a categorizer for categorizing the NFTs according to information in the NFTs; an appender for appending to the NFTs owner information related to an owner of the NFTs; a valuator for valuing the NFTs, wherein the valuator accesses anonymized data regarding values of other NFTs not owned by the owner; and a display interface for interfacing to a dedicated display for ones of the NFTs.
