NFT Wallet Identity Overlay for AR Video Applications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems do not allow users to seamlessly integrate their Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) from a crypto wallet into social media and augmented reality applications, limiting the creative expression and identity assumption capabilities during online interactions.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that connects a user's crypto wallet to a backend service, associating their social media ID with NFTs, enabling the display of selected NFTs as overlays on the user's face or background during video interactions using augmented reality applications, such as Snapchat Lenses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users store NFTs in crypto wallets, then ownership and authenticity are secured, but seamless integration into online video interactions is not enabled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a backend service as an intermediary between the crypto wallet and social media/AR applications. This backend service receives NFT image data from the wallet, processes it into compatible formats, and stores it for retrieval by applications like Snapchat Lens. This mediator resolves the incompatibility between blockchain storage and application integration requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system separates NFT functionality into distinct components: crypto wallet storage for ownership, backend service for processing and format conversion, and application-level rendering for display. This segmentation allows each component to operate independently with standardized interfaces, enabling integration without increasing overall system complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If NFT image data is stored in crypto wallet, then authenticity is maintained, but compatibility with social media and AR applications is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The backend service performs preliminary processing of NFT image data by converting it into formats compatible with social media and AR applications. This pre-processing step, including format conversion and optimization, is done in advance so that applications can directly use the processed data without additional complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates copies of NFT image data in multiple formats suitable for different applications. Instead of requiring applications to handle raw blockchain data, the backend service generates appropriate copies (e.g., PNG, JPEG formats) optimized for specific platforms like Snapchat Lens, simplifying integration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If NFTs are displayed as overlays or backgrounds, then creative expression is enhanced, but system integration complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The backend service provides universal functionality by handling multiple display scenarios (overlays, backgrounds, avatars) through a single integrated system. It processes NFT data once and makes it available in formats suitable for various AR and social media applications, avoiding the need for separate integration solutions for each display type.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and associated methods display on a user device a non-fungible token (NFT) in an application that displays video data. The methods include storing the NFT of a user in a database accessible to the application, associating an ID of the user for the application to the NFT, and receiving a selection of the NFT during use of the application. Upon selection, the selected NFT is provided to the user device for superimposing the selected NFT over the user’s face, providing the selected NFT as a background image for the video data on the user device, or both. The user device includes a web application that connects the database to a crypto wallet containing the NFT. The NFT may be processed to crop out the eyes and mouth of the NFT for registration with the user’s eyes and mouth when the NFT is superimposed over the user’s face.
