Personal Non-Fungible Token Identity Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies lack a means to uniquely associate an image, sound, or other digital asset with a person's identity for secure online communications and interactions, and do not allow for customization of links to initiate automated actions.
Innovation Solution
A system and method using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to create a universal, secure identity by storing a digital asset on a blockchain, allowing customization of links (calls to action) to initiate automated interactions, and utilizing SMS authorization for secure communication facilitation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing identity verification methods are used, then secure online communications can be established, but there is no means to uniquely associate digital assets with personal identity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a PNFT system that serves multiple functions: it verifies personal identity securely while simultaneously enabling unique association with digital assets. The PNFT acts as a universal identifier that can be used across different communication platforms and for various types of digital assets, resolving the contradiction between security and versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces PNFTs as an intermediary element between personal identity and digital assets. Rather than directly linking identities to assets, the system uses PNFTs (derived from blockchain NFTs) as a mediating token that securely connects the two, enabling reliable identity verification while providing adaptability for asset association.
2Ease of operation
If traditional link methods are used, then simple communication links can be provided, but automated actions cannot be initiated based on link interactions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring CTAs with automated action rules before the user interacts with them. When a user clicks a CTA link, the system has already prepared and associated specific automated actions (such as initiating communications, transferring assets, or triggering workflows) with that link, enabling immediate automated execution without requiring additional user input or complex configuration at the moment of interaction.
3Reliability
If manual authorization processes are used, then user control over communications can be maintained, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling users to autonomously manage their communication authorizations through the CTA system. Users can review and approve or reject automated actions initiated by CTAs without requiring manual intervention from system administrators or complex multi-step verification processes. The system empowers users to make authorization decisions quickly and independently, maintaining control while minimizing time loss.

AI summary
A system and method for establishment of a universal, secure identity for online communications, interactions, and exchanges that uniquely associates an image, sound, or other digital asset with a person's identity using non-fungible tokens (NFTs). A digital asset is stored on a blockchain as an NFT, which uniquely and immutably associates the digital asset with the account owning that digital asset, thereby establishing a unique, secure personal identifier (a “personal non-fungible token” or PNFT) of the person owning that account for online communications and interactions. Links to the PNFT (also herein called “calls to action” or CTAs) can be customized via an online platform such that interaction with a given link or type of link initiates automated actions.
