Pixel-Streamed NFT Living Artwork Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a method to create and manage Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and their viewing, particularly for live events, as digital artwork can be easily duplicated, lacking the uniqueness of traditional art, and existing solutions fail to effectively control access and viewing experiences for such digital assets.
Innovation Solution
A system that provides tiered credentials for accessing live events, using a real-time visual media generation engine to manage spectator access time and duration based on credential levels, distinguishing between owning and non-owning viewers, and implementing queue-based access to control access to pixel-streamed living artwork and other events.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If digital artwork is made accessible and easily duplicatable, then ease of operation and distribution is improved, but uniqueness and ownership value deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the digital artwork into individual pixels that are streamed separately to each viewer's device. Each viewer receives a unique stream of pixel data that renders the same visual image but consists of different digital objects. This segmentation allows the artwork to be widely distributed while maintaining uniqueness at the fundamental digital level, as each pixel instance is distinct despite rendering identically.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental parameter of digital object identity by making each pixel a unique, dynamically generated object rather than a static copy. The pixel data includes unique identifiers and cryptographic proofs that verify ownership and authenticity. This parameter change allows multiple instances of the same visual artwork to coexist with verified uniqueness, resolving the contradiction between accessibility and uniqueness.
2Ease of operation
If queue-based access control is implemented for live events, then access control and viewing experience quality are improved, but access time and waiting duration worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic queue system where queue positions and access times are not fixed but adjust in real-time based on credential verification, viewer behavior, and system conditions. The queue is reorganized continuously, allowing flexible management of access timing while maintaining quality control. This dynamic approach reduces unnecessary waiting time while preserving the benefits of controlled access.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor queue status, credential validity, and viewer engagement in real-time. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts queue processing speed, access timing, and resource allocation. This feedback loop allows the system to optimize access time while maintaining viewing experience quality, reducing waiting time for legitimate viewers while preventing unauthorized access.
3Measurement precision
If tiered credentials with queue positions are used for access control, then access control precision and ownership verification are improved, but device complexity and system architecture worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal credential system where a single cryptographic token serves multiple functions: it proves ownership, determines queue position, verifies authentication, and enables real-time communication with the streaming system. This multi-functional credential reduces the need for separate verification systems and complex access control logic, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining high precision in credential verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a blockchain-based intermediary layer that handles complex verification logic off-chain. The blockchain smart contracts automatically verify credentials, determine queue positions, and manage access rights without requiring complex client-side or server-side verification logic. This intermediary absorbs the complexity of precise credential verification while presenting a simple interface to users and reducing system architecture complexity.

AI summary
A method provides a set of credentials for accessing a live event as a spectator. The credentials includes tiered credentials with respect to access privileges from a queue imposed to access the live event. The access privileges specify a queued order based spectator access time and a spectator access duration. The method evaluates the credentials received from users seeking to access the live event as spectators including determining whether a provided credential pertains to a non-owning viewer or an owning viewer of a subject of the live event. The method controls, by a real-time visual media generation engine of a streaming server, the spectator access time and the spectator access duration of each of the users to the live event as the spectators based on the credentials by placing the users in predetermined queuing positions associated with corresponding levels of the credentials. The live event is a living artwork.
